Lol u said it deserves no where near its rating then said its should be a 7. It has an 8. That's pretty near it lol in any event it's an excellent film. 

i still have 3 or 4 movies to complete everything worth watching

Made me cry.

Same here the whole movie is just so powerful and heart breaking and beautiful it's damn near overwhelming. Masterpiece of the highest order.

I've only seen two movies from your list: Prisoners and The Conjuring. I loved Prisoners, and The Conjuring was good (better than I expected).

Most of the movies I've watched last year were those blockbuster, summer popcorn flicks like Iron Man 3, Star Trek, etc. My favorite one is probably Thor 2 mainly because of Loki, but Prisoners is my favorite movie of last year atm.

Pfft... Oscar movies - I don't watch those most of the time.

Fast 6

Insidious 2

The Conjuring

Thor 2

Wolf of Wall Street

American Hustle

The Hobbit 2

Captain Phillips

Wolverine

Man of Steel

Well The Butler was highly fictionalized also turns out the main character was actually born in Virginia and never worked at a cotton plantation as a kid.   Also he only had one son that died before him of renal failure so the son that was killed in Vietnam is completely fictional and the other one is probably mostly fictional.  Fruitvale Station on the other hand is pretty historical acurate as far as I know they only added the dying dog to add some more drama to the film and probably to add some more run time as the film is pretty short as it barely goes 80 minutes.

Actually Oblivion made money at the box office it had a budget of $120 million and made $286 million world wide.

You have pretty good taste OP. I've only seen, Fruitvale Station & Elysium from your list. I am going to check out a few more including, 12 Years a Slave soon. Oscar season brings some quality cinema.
