And the AFI released their list of the Top 10 Films of the year with one tie so we get 11 in alphabetical order. And one of the first lists of the year to include Foxcatcher and Into the Woods. If they get a SAG nomination this week it might come back into the conversation. Also the AFI is an American Film Institute so it has to have some sort of American connection so no foreign movies are on this list. Although The Imitation Game feels like a cheat.
American Sniper
Birdman
Boyhood
Foxcatcher
The Imitation Game
Interstellar
Into the Woods
Nightcrawler
Selma
Unbroken
Whiplash
