	I thought this would be a good thread to suggest movies you've seen this year that may have been overlooked by others for one reason or another. I'll start it out by suggesting two very different movies. First, The Voices. Seriously, Ryan Reynolds deserves Oscar consideration for his performance. It really is that great. Second, surprisingly, Cinderella. I skipped this initially because these Disney reboots/reimaginings/etc. have become tiring. This was a joy to watch. Great acting, casting, directing, soundtrack, production design, visual effects. This movie has heart to spare and now ranks just below my absolute favorite fairy tale movies, The Princess Bride and Stardust.

	So I just watched Creed. I will not be complaining if this gets nominated for awards. Especially deserving is Stallone, who is awesome in this supporting role.

	thanks, sol, for your recommendation of the voices. i had recently watched persepolis and really loved it, so i figured it's from the same director with her unique vision. very sick & twisted, but fantastical, colorful and whimsical at the same time. will be watching her other film, chicken with plums, tonight.

	So this weekend I watched Ant Man, Mr. Holmes, and Inside Out. Ant-Man doesn't deserve awards, but it's better than I expected it to be. Mr. Holmes has 3 great performances and I really hope Ian McKellen is nominated for this. He is awesome. Inside Out deserves any noms it gets. It's just a great movie.

	Here are my top 10 movies of the year... Cinderella Star Wars: The Force Awakens The Avengers: Age of Ultron The Martian Tomorrowland Inside Out Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation Kingsman: The Secret Service Ant-Man Furious 7 These are ranked by the order I would watch them if I could only watch one. What puts Cinderella ahead were the same things that made Wreck-It-Ralph my favorite movie of 2012. Everything worked for me, I felt good watching the movie, and no glaring flaws distracted me from the enjoyment.

	Adam, how was Chicken with Plums? Love Mathieu Amalric. I met Marjane at the airport after the Telluride film fest where Persepolis played. Brilliant movie, lovely lady. I didn't realize The Voices was hers. Doesn't par up with Persepolis, but decently quirky.

	sorry haven't been on here in a bit ... chicken with plums was worth a watch, definitely quirky for sure, not as good as persepolis as well. very cool to have met satrapi. have now been catching up on marion cotillard with rust & bone and two days, one night - both were excellent. next up - nina hoss with barbara, jerichow and hopefully phoenix (when my library gets it).

	Spotlight is easily the best film of 2015!

	Okay, so for what it's worth, here's how I rank the Oscar nominees for Best Picture, in order of preference: Spotlight Bridge of Spies The Big Short Room Brooklyn Mad Max: Fury Road The Revenant The Martian Unfortunately, it looks like The Revenant will take it.
