2014 didn't have a cult film in the making like What We Do in the Shadows, or a true
sleeper like Straight Outta Compton (or Spy, for that matter), or a blockbuster
hitting the sweet spot for audiences and critics alike like Mad Max has done, or a traditional standalone nonfranchise blockbuster like The Martian, or an animated film with the acclaim
of Inside Out, or a little horror
movie that could like It Follows, or an unexpected independent drama that ran forever like Room....2015 was a
year like 1999 or 1994.
