Does Mommy count? Figured it was 2014.
Ex-Machina, It Follows, Montage of Heck, and Mommy are really the only ones I've enjoyed.
It's one of those weird ones. Had a fall run at the festivals but it didn't hit actual theaters until late January. I also had it on my 2014 list, but I'll keep it here too.Quoting Ezee E (view post)

Feels pretty lightweight. The stuff I like below, I like a lot, but I guess this is a year I have an even bigger backlog of things I'm interested in than usual, and TIFF, awards season-geared stuff, and even promising late-year tentpoles are all still around the corner. Either way, as of now:
- The Look of Silence (Oppenheimer)
- Mad Max: Fury Road (Miller)
- Ex Machina (Garland)
- World of Tomorrow (Hertzfeldt)
- It Follows (Mitchell)
- Kingsman: The Secret Service (Vaughn)
- Inside Out (Docter)
- What We Do In The Shadows (Clement/Waititi)
- Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation (McQuarrie)
- Avengers: Age of Ultron (Whedon)
