It’s the time of the year again for us to pick some of the best movies we’ve seen in 2014.
From the action blockbusters to record-breaking indie films, it certainly wasn't an easy task to pick just 14 films out of hundreds that were screened in 2014, but hard choices must be made. Read on to check out films that made our list!
And we decided to do this like an awards presentation…

Presenting...
1) The ‘Die-Die-Must-Watch’ Movie:
Boyhood
Filmed over short periods from 2002 to 2013, Boyhood is a groundbreaking cinematic experience covering 12 years in the life of a family. It's an one-off masterpiece that will go down in the filmmaking history.
2) InCinemas Reviewers' Top Pick 1:
Gone Girl 
When it first premiered, my Facebook timeline was all about 'Gone Girl makes me rethink about marriage'... and I personally couldn't agree more. Directed by David Fincher and based upon the global bestseller by Gillian Flynn, this psychological thriller unearths the secrets at the heart of a modern marriage that makes you reflect on life and that ring tightly wrapped on your finger.
Wes Anderson’s The Grand Budapest Hotel is a clear front contender in
becoming one of the best movies in 2014 and you HAVE to catch it. The
visual imagery of this film is nothing less than stunning; whimsical, imaginative and definitely entertaining.
Build it one LEGO brick at a time and it becomes a colourful LEGO universe with lovable minifig characters and an entertaining story that appeals to both kids and adults. Because.. 'Everything is awesome!'.
While I understand it can be rather taxing to sit through a 3-hour
film, Interstellar is a definite ‘must-watch’ and deserves a re-watch, also because you might not understand it the first time. The extend of the
production value is simply mind-blowing! Just imagine a movie in an outer-space realm, all filmed without a green screen. How is that
remotely possible?
6) Greatest Indie Film (With an Awesome Soundtrack):
Begin Again 
It's not an indie film per se, but the tone and feel of this film is not your average Hollywood movies you see often. On top of the heart-warming soundtrack, Begin Again focuses on the connection of music and people, love and friendship. A 'coffeehouse alternative' to brighten your weekend.
If there’s a YA film
that makes our InCinemas list, we’ll give it to The Fault in Our Stars.
Based on the book by John Green, the film about two cancer-stricken teenagers with their sorrowfully-sweet love story is one movie we really couldn't hold back our tears. It's a heart-breaker so prepare those tissues.
8) Greatest, Most Adorable Character in a Film:
Disney’s Big Hero 6 (Baymax)
The next Disney character every little kid will be asking for this Christmas after Frozen collectables, is the adorable healthcare robot, Baymax in Disney's Big Hero 6! He speaks funny, acts cutely and is just loved by many.
9) Best Comic-to-Screen Superhero Movie of 2014:
X-Men Days Of Future Past
There were lots of superhero movies re-made to the big screen this year and X-Men: Days of Future Past stood out among its competitors. We got to see the older and younger characters all in one film, with impressive set-pieces and a pretty darn good script, this X-Men franchise film is a blockbuster with substance.
10) Best Ensemble Cast:
Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy
Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy is about a group of misfits getting together to fight crime. Apart from the comedy and action of the film, the 5-member 'guardians' is what made the film truly shine. Their chemistry and energy can be seen in what is one of the best films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
11) Local Film of 2014:
Filial Party
Filial Party is one of the better local films we've seen this year. From a simple game show concept to tackle a tough societal topic like filial piety, the film encompasses comedy, love and warmth all at once.
12) Most ‘Delicious’ Food Film:
Chef 
There are many films out there we wouldn't recommend to watch on an empty stomach and Chef is one of those that got our tastebuds set on Cubanos. It's may be a simple concept and an overused storyline, but director and writer Jon Favreau makes Chef like an irresistible comfort food we want to savour on a rainy day.
13) Scariest Horror Movie of the Year:
Babadook
If you like scary movies and one that craves for psychological horror to fill your senses, then you would probably have caught The Babadook, which promises to send chills down your spine. This film isn't for the faint-hearted, but if you're willing to give it a try, take this as a warning to the aftermath nightmares.
Hailed as one of the best performance from Jake Gyllenhaal, this thriller, as our reviewer says, is a 'sleek crime-journalism noir piece that borders on the disturbing'.
It’s one of the final projects of Robin Williams, the funnyman we all love. He passed away not long after filming Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb as Teddy Roosevelt, a character who often inspires and motivates Larry.
Starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Rebel Wilson and Steven Williams, catch Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb InCinemas this Christmas!
RIP. We'll miss you Robin Williams.
