Compiled below is the list of films I saw between Jan. 1, 2014 and July 31, 2014 that I rated from three and a half to five stars.
These categories are somewhat arbitrary, but generally the five and four and a half star films are pretty close, and I enjoyed those tremendously. The four star ones were all good, but I had some (minor) reservations. The three and half star ones were more problematical films but still worth checking out.
If a film did not make it into one of these categories, I did not write a review.
The ones listed below I recommend for your consideration.
A significant number of these films are either documentary, foreign, or small films, often only in the theaters for a few weeks, usually in one of the independent theaters in the DC area or in our DC Film Club.
If you click on any of the titles below, you will link to my mini-review on MillersTime.
As always, any thoughts, comments, disagreements, agreements, etc. are welcomed.
Five Stars:
Four and a Half Stars:
Four Stars:
Three and Half Stars:
Oscar Nominated Short Action Live Films
Oscar Nominated Documentary Short Films

We live in Louisiana, after all, so many independent films leave us out. However, we did see a French Film, The Jewish Cardinal, based on a true story about Jean-Paul Lustiger, who was a Jewish convert who became a Cardinal. Very powerful! We also saw and enjoyed The Case Against 8 and Chef. I did find The Grand Hotel rather odd but enjoyable.
Most of the others never even came here. But we will look for them!
Thanks for the list.
