What are the best movies of 2015?
Documentaries
Last year my list of good documentaries overflowed. It included, favorites at the top:
Quote:
The Overnighters
Point and Shoot
The Internet's Own Boy
Seymour: An Introduction
Llyn Foulkes One Man Band
Citizenfour
Happy Valley
Life Itself
Tales of the Grim Sleeper
Last of the Unjust
Particle Fever
Jodorovsky's Dune
The Missing Picture
12 O'Clock Boys
The Kill Team
Rich Hill
Finding Vivian Meier
Red Army
and
National Gallery
Here is list of of best documentaries so far from three staff members of Playlist. I have not seen all of them. Some I would definitely include, others not; I consciously avoided watching several that I could have seen screeners of because I didn't like the topics or the directors' previous work (Meru, The Look of Silence, The Sale of the Earth).
