Best Shots of the Decade: 2014
This month, I wanted to start sharing "Decade" posts celebrating the 2010's. It's extra fitting that this year is the 10 anniversary of Rambling Film. I decided to split up each year, with 10 gifs from 10 different films. Here are some shots that stood out to me. Onward to 2014!
God Help The Girl
Song of the Sea
Snowpiercer
The Theory of Everything
Whiplash
God Help The Girl
Nightcrawler
Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance)
Camp X-Ray
Gone Girl
Begin Again
Song of the Sea
Bonus: How To Train Your Dragon 2
Not because it's an amazing cinematic shot, but because no one in that theater was laughing harder than I was when this happened. It's also my favorite of the series, and the first film I took my son to at the theater.
Those shots in Gone Girl, Snowpiercer, and Camp X-Ray are awesome. 2014 was a great year in films. I think that was my favorite year of the decade.
ReplyDeleteIt was, there were so many wonderful films. Camp X-Ray I didn't see until much later and I wish I had gotten a chance to see it sooner because it was one of the best films of the decade.
Delete2014 was the year I properly got into movies as a hobby and oh man, it was such a great year. That bonus gif is so oddly mesmerizing!
ReplyDeleteIt's such a stupid thing to put in a cartoon...I love it.
DeleteI had actually forgotten the shot from Whiplash, such a great movie.
ReplyDeleteWhiplash had so many amazing shots but for some reason the bloody hand always stuck with me.
DeleteYES! That Gone Girl shot is iconic
ReplyDeleteThe best hair flip to have ever hair flipped.
DeleteGONE GIRL!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssss
DeleteWow, 2014 was a good year. Here for Snowpiercer, Whiplash and Gone girl!
ReplyDeleteThank you for commenting! Yes, it was. Beautiful year.
DeleteI just realised Gone Girl's gif out of context is quite interesting. :D
ReplyDeleteIt could be a murder, it could be the world's most OTT time of the month. So many possibilities.
DeleteAwesome picks! I love the different choices you made for Birdman and Gone Girl. So many lists pick Emma staring up at the sky or Rosamund glaring at the camera, but the way the camera encompasses Michael in the shop and Amy sitting in that pool of blood is really underrated. Snowpiercer is one of my favorites too.
ReplyDeleteThe pool of blood is hands down the best shot of Gone Girl by a wide margin for me. That shot of Emma in Birdman was great, but I loved those pepper lights. They were just so beautiful and that shot stood out to me the most.
DeleteGone Girl haha! And seeing that shot from Begin Again makes me want to rewatch that movie right away. I love that scene.
ReplyDeleteI do too. When I was searching for that scene I must have watched the clip of it about 10 times. I just adore this movie.
