2014 Watchlist [Review]
The 2013 films I found the most interesting.
I haven't seen all of them, but I hope I will (...someday).
The list is ordered by the film release date (on USA).
My top 5 (plus 1) for this years is:
(ordered, too, by release date)
* Captain America: TWS (04/04/14)
* X-Men: Days of Future Past (23/05/14)
* Guardians of the Galaxy (01/08/14)
* Interstellar (07/11/14)
* The Hobbit: TBotFA (17/12/14)
+ Transcendence (18/04/14)
;; for its concept/potential
I'm gonna say my favorite was GotG,
with Interstellar and Hobbit:TBotFA just after it.
P.S. I'll revisit the following list at later time to enter the remaining dates and insert my rating of those films I've watched.
