24 Movies You Probably Missed This Year, But Should Totally See

Just because these 2014 movies flew under the radar — and each grossed less than $10 million at the U.S. box office this year — that doesn’t mean they aren’t so very worth your time.

Cinema Guild

Playing Theresa D'Agostino in Seasons 3 and 4 of The Wire was a major break for Brandy Burre, the biggest role of her career. But she retired not long after to move to upstate New York to raise her two children with her then-partner Tim Reinke. Filmmaker Robert Greene was her neighbor in the small town of Beacon, and made this fascinating portrait of Burre keeping house, trying to get back into acting, and navigating the end of her relationship. It's a documentary, but it's also a dreamily subjective peek into the mind-set of someone who's always performing, and always aware of the camera. Burre is constantly trying to reshape the movie of her life — she's been playing the role of a Douglas Sirk housewife for a while, and now she's trying to find herself a new one. Greene's film is small, but so worth seeking out — it reshapes what you think docs can be like, and what they can do. —Alison Willmore

2. Blue Ruin

2. Blue Ruin

Anchor Bay Entertainment

The stealthily brilliant premise of Jeremy Saulnier's lo-fi thriller is that sad-eyed hero Dwight (Macon Blair) approaches his quest for revenge like he's the hero of a much slicker movie than the one he's actually in. When the man who murdered his parents is released from prison, Dwight's attempt to kill the guy ends up being a sloppy, wince-inducing mess, and things only escalate from there until he's in a standoff with a whole family, battling over wrongs that will never be righted. Dwight's not stupid — like most humans, he's not a natural killing machine. Blue Ruin's well-staged action pile-up ends up being as believable, surprising, and occasionally as funny as it is tragic. —A.W.

The 12 Most Successful Original Films Of 2014

0
0

Movies that are not sequels, prequels, remakes, or adaptations of novels, comic books, popular toy lines, or true stories are growing ever more scarce — but some did, at least, make money this year.

Universal; Warner Bros.; Universal; Universal; 20th Century Fox

There are many encouraging effects of Sony Pictures' decision to allow theaters to screen The Interview on Dec. 25, but perhaps one of the least acknowledged is the fact that it brings the last original studio movie of 2014 to screens nationwide. It's probably a minor consideration for Sony (if one at all), but in a year in which all top 10 grossing films stateside were either sequels or based on pre-existing creative properties, the addition of any original creative work born solely from its filmmakers' imaginations is a significant one.

As Grantland contributor Mark Harris recently laid out, Hollywood's entire business model — and therefore, the moviegoing diet of the vast majority of Americans — has been overtaken with sequels, prequels, reboots, remakes, reimaginings, and adaptations. As a point of contrast, 15 years ago, six original films cracked the top 10 domestic grossers of the year. But even prestige-y, awards-y movies that largely don't bother to compete with major studio releases have also become dominated with telling pre-existing stories: Just this year, Selma, The Theory of Everything, The Imitation Game, Wild, Foxcatcher, Unbroken, and Mr. Turner are all based on real people and real events (and all but Selma, Foxcatcher, and Mr. Turner were adaptations of books).

Of course, movies based on other things are often quite good — occasionally, even great — but they shouldn't be the only kind of movie. More and more, however, as far as Hollywood is concerned, they are. Original films do still get made, but they are fewer and farther between — of the top 50 grossers of the year in the U.S., just 12 of them are wholly original productions. Last year, that number was 15.

As you'll see in the list below, some of that drop could be chalked up to quality — namely, a lack of it. But as Harris noted in his essay, Hollywood's resources — both financial and creative — are finite. If the best minds and the most money are being invested in shepherding a suite of franchises scheduled through the rest of the decade, there is that much less oxygen for purely original creativity to thrive.

All box office data courtesy Box Office Mojo, and as of Sunday, Dec. 21.

Interstellar

Interstellar

Total domestic gross: $171,535,531
Total global gross: $635,535,531
Rank for 2014 domestic box office: 15

Let's set aside for the moment the movie's wordy portentousness, and marvel instead that co-writer/director Christopher Nolan is using his clout as arguably the most powerful filmmaker in Hollywood today (arguably!) to make an original movie with as much scope and ambition as this one. Its considerable global box office puts Interstellar ninth worldwide for the year, and makes as plain a case as possible that investing in a filmmaker's original vision can pay off handsomely.

In fact, let's invent a new thing. How about we start calling original filmmakers "human franchises" instead? Perhaps then Hollywood will pay more attention to supporting them.

Melinda Sue Gordon / Warner Bros.

Neighbors

Neighbors

Total domestic gross: $150,157,400
Total global gross: $268,157,400
Rank for all 2014 domestic box office: 18

Another human franchise: Seth Rogen, who was having a very good year (until this month) thanks to the runaway success of last May's very funny twentysomething college student vs. thirtysomething new parent comedy. In addition to starring in the film, Rogen produced Neighbors with his creative partner Evan Goldberg. The duo also wrote, produced, and directed last year's very funny — and quite original — apocalyptic comedy This Is the End, and they wrote, produced, and directed The Interview. What I'm saying here is that Rogen and Goldberg are arguably (arguably!) the biggest force in original comedy today, and I really, really hope the fallout from The Interview debacle doesn't diminish their commitment or ability to make original movies.

Fat-shaming, skinny-shaming, food-shaming, butt-shaming, clothing-shaming… You name it, 2014 had it all.

Old Navy charged more for women's plus-size clothes.

Old Navy charged more for women's plus-size clothes.

Women's Rockstar Super Skinny Rockstar Jeans, size 6: $34.50
Women's Rockstar Super Skinny Rockstar Jeans, size 26: $44.94
Men's Premium Skinny Jeans, any old size: $39.94

When an Old Navy customer noticed that women's plus-size clothes are priced higher than non-plus sizes, while men's clothes' prices never change within a style, irrespective of size, she started a Change.org petition that eventually got 95,000 signatures. The petition demanded that the store end its discriminatory pricing, which Old Navy's parent company, The Gap, defended, saying that the higher prices for women's plus-size items are the result of using "unique fabrics and design elements." Worth noting here is that other clothing brands like Aeropostale and American Eagle don't charge differently for plus sizes and non-plus.

The Gap hasn't changed the way plus-size clothes are priced, but it's said it will hold quarterly focus groups "to further enhance our plus size collections."

Beyoncé's feminist call to arms is even fiercer with a feature from Nicki Minaj. The two women take turns explaining all the ways they stay flawless in the face of constant gossip and hate. You can say what you want, Nicki and Bey know they’re the shit and they want everyone feel the same.

Girl-power lyric: "And you can say what you want / I'm the shit (what you want I'm the shit) / I'm the shit, I'm the shit, I'm the shit / I want everyone to feel like this."
