10. It Follows: This is a stylish genre film that lingered in my mind for weeks after my initial viewing, like when you get a song stuck in your head and you find it so catchy that you don’t mind its psychologically looping presence. 9. Carol: After eight years since his last theatrical effort, director Todd Haynes returns to… Continue reading Taylor Kujawa’s Top 10 Films of 2015
15. X-Men: Days of Future Past: Let’s get this out of the way: I love comics. But to be fully honest, I wasn’t expecting much out of any of the comic book movies at the beginning of the year. All but one (The Amazing Spider-Man 2) blew my expectations out of the water. The first of these… Continue reading Phillip’s Top 15 Films of 2014
15. Obvious Child: Comedy with maturity can lead to humorous perspective, which is why Obvious Child is fairly poignant for a comedy film led by Jenny Slate.

From a president of the United States to… Continue reading Taylor Kujawa’s Top 10 Films of 2012
Every once in a while, a year comes along that contains an exceptionally immense amount of quality filmmaking. This is when a "Top 10" list becomes especially difficult. Because I'm making this list long after the fact, I've come to realize that 2008 was such a year. I'm not sure if the long wait was… Continue reading Taylor Kujawa’s Top 10 Films of 2008
Of the last decade, 2007 is hands down my favorite year of film. I have never put together a "Top 10" list so quickly as I have with this one. Right away, I knew exactly what films were going to be in my top five. The only problem I had was deciding on the actual… Continue reading Taylor Kujawa’s Top 10 Films of 2007
This year was a notable year of film for me because I broke away from primarily viewing blockbuster films and dived more into independent films. Lists aren't really that good to make when it comes to film because you can't compare certain motion pictures. Some are completely different genres, while others are executed in completely… Continue reading Taylor Kujawa’s Top 10 Films of 2010
Welcome all, to my very own list of the top films of 2009. This was a very productive year at the cinema.

First of all, it is rather difficult to do a list… Continue reading Taylor Kujawa’s Top 10 Films of 2009
