American Sniper was really good. Birdman was alright, but I could see why a lot of people liked it. Boyhood was good. Ethan Hawk was excellent as the dad. Imitation Game I just watched today and LOVED it. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but my respect for Benedict Cumberbatch grew a lot after watching it. Whiplash was also really good. Miles Teller and J.K Simmons were great together. Simmons really made you hate him, but respect him at the same time.
I'd rank them:
1) Imitation Game 2) American Sniper 3) Whiplash 4) Boyhood 5) Birdman

I have seen American Sniper -- really good movie. Haven't seen any of the others, I am usually only good for 3 or 4 movies a year. Sometimes less.

I avoid movies that get nominated for best picture.

I like American Sniper but I thought Lone Survivor and The Hurt Locker were better. I think The Outpost might end up being the best of them all once that movie is made.
Nothing about the other movies really interests me. Maybe The Imitation Game but Keira Knightley annoys me.

Saw GBH (growing very tired of Wes Anderson), Whiplash (awesome, JJ Simmons hasn't been this good since Oz), Boyhood (Ethan Hawke and Patricia Arquette were great) and Birdman (Michael Keaton can do no wrong). Whiplash won't win (Boyhood will), but it has my non-counting vote.

I watch a lot of movies.
Whiplash is my favorite of all the best picture nominations. Phenomenal movie.
Don't even know how American Sniper got a nomination. Decent but not best picture quality. Foxcatcher or Nightcrawler should've taken that place - both excellent films.
Birdman was good, definitely unique. Same with Boyhood, not really something you can watch more than once though have to be in the right state of mind. Acting was great though, definitely a feat either way, filming the movie over nearly 20 years, it'll probably win just for that.
Imitation Game was alright, interesting to see the story of Turing never really heard it before. Cumberbatch is great as always. Knightley is hot as fuck as always.
I liked Grand Budapest decently enough - not for everyone, definitely not the best picture.
Saw Interstellar last night - wish I had seen it in IMAX, awesome visuals. Reminded me of Contact.
What else...Gone Girl is fucked up but great, worth the watch, great acting all around even from Tyler Perry. I liked the Lego Movie.
I didn't really get Inherent Vice - guess I wasn't high or drunk or something enough. Weird movie but some people seem to love it.
Edge of Tomorrow is another one from 2014 that slipped through the cracks - actually one of my favorite movies last year. Very original.
...I watch a lot of movies.

Saw Boyhood last night. Well worth the 3 hrs but not earth shattering. very understated.
Gotta give LinkLater a ton of credit for the concept. I thought Arquette was great. The guy who played husband 2 was great as well.
You don't feel as if anyone is "acting".
Hope to see Foxcatcher next.

Do you like movies about Gladiattors? By any chance do you like old movies? I'm addicted to TMC.

By any chance do you like old movies? I'm addicted to TMC. You ever hang around a gymnasium? Been re-watching the original Twilight Zone and some of Sinatra's old movies - crazy how many 'original' ideas today are just rehashes of forgotten films/shows.

I enjoy how the old movies spend time developing the characters. Takes a little patience sometimes to get used to the pace compared to today's movies, but the payoff is worth it.
