This page lists 31 films I saw in theaters in 2014. My movie database lists only films I see in theaters, not those I see on TV, videotape, DVD, or the internet. My culture page lists other cultural events.
I had no expectations of Sorrentino's The Great Beauty, so it took me totally by surprise. I have a few quibbles, but I loved it. It's great cinema, and sadly that's rare lately. My personal relationship with Aaron Swartz and his family makes it impossible for me to be objective about The Internet's Own Boy, but I thought it was wonderful. Very hard for me to watch, well worth it, really a compelling work. I loved Iñárritu's Birdman too; fabulous cast giving several great performances, amazing camera work, engaging plot. With Amores Perros and Biutiful, I'm not sure any current director has a more compelling oeuvre.
On the downside: Girl on a Bicycle was just terrible, Monuments Men had no redeeming virtues, and Magic in the Moonlight was disappointingly formulaic.
I have kept movie date/title/director data consistently since 1982, with additional details since 2010. I also have some incomplete data from earlier years.
