    Top 20 Of 2015: The Honorable Mentions

    A few of the films I really enjoyed in 2015 that didn’t make my Top 20.

  • Phoenix (2015)

    Phoenix (2015)

    Is a psychological drama with Hitchcockian elements that has an absolute heart-rending, drop-the-mic ending.

  • The Revenant (2015)

    The Revenant (2015)

    The Revenant is a gritty frontier story of survival and revenge. Visually, it is as harsh as it is exquisite.

  • The Big Short (2015)

    The Big Short (2015)

    The Big Short is an entertaining and educational look at the financial crisis of 2007 and a big step forward for director Adam McKay.

  • Sisters (2015)

    Sisters (2015)

    Sisters features two very funny women, but isn’t quite the perfect vehicle for them. It does have its moments, though, just not consistently enough.

  • The Hateful Eight (2015)

    The Hateful Eight (2015)

    Tarantino’s 8th film looks glorious in 70mm, and tells a western yarn full of mystery in a small cabin with a bunch of unsavory types snowed in by a blizzard.

  • The Night Before (2015)

    The Night Before (2015)

    The Night Before has some good holiday laughs, but it could be better.
