It's that time of the year again. Time to expose my top favorite films of 2014. I'm a fan of all movies: big blockbusters, crazy foreign movies, awesome independent movies, etc. It's always a challenge coming up with the list and numbering them. Some people will just put them in alphabetical order but that takes the fun out of it. The following are movies that either entertained me to the fullest, or connected well with me, or it was an overall good experience. My rules are: any movie I've seen this year that are considered 2014 according to imdb.com (Movie Database Site). Here we go:
