Saw Birdman last night. It finally payed off after I was like wut? is this Shit? Keaton is the Man.

Nightcrawler was good also.

Imitation game is a pretty amazing story based on actual events.

Didn't care for american sniper at all. Big Budget Propaganda IMO

Can't remember Gone Girl but I think it was good too.

Trying to get thru Inherent Vice today

Foxcatcher was creepy as hell.

I can't pick like you guys did though, haven't seen enough of the movies.
