Been a long time since I updated, though not much changed. Just shuffled a bit. I plan on doing some 2014 catch-up (and maybe even a bit of rewatching) soon so we'll see what happens. I'm still missing quite a bit (and the Anderson in particular needs a second look) so this could change radically.

Planning on tearing through a lot of stuff during break, but as of now:
1. Under the Skin
2. The Immigrant
3. The Grand Budapest Hotel
4. Listen Up Philip
5. Boyhood
6. Only Lovers Left Alive
7. Night Moves
8. Mistaken for Strangers
9. Manakamana
10. Guardians of the Galaxy
I feel like the top 6 are a lot more solid than the next four.
I really want to see Force Majeure and Listen Up Philip, but I don't think they are available to rent yet.
Listen Up Philip is a premium rental ($7) on Amazon, iTunes, and Google Play right now.
