A look at the most-watched movies of 2015, including Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Jurassic World and Ant Man.

The “best movies of 2014” is a list of the best films and TV shows in 2015. The list includes films like “The Martian,” “Steve Jobs,” and “Whiplash.”

It’s the happiest time of the year!

No, not because of spending time with family or enjoying the holidays, though all of those things are wonderful.

It’s my favorite time of year to go to the movies. As the year draws to a close and things begin to slow down, I like to catch up on the movies I didn’t get to watch earlier in the year and check out the major new films for the holidays.

It’s a good idea to spend a few hours to relax if you’ve been busy operating or developing your own company. Movies are a fantastic method to do this. They have the ability to inspire you, make you think, or make you laugh. My favorite films are those that help me better grasp the realities of the world I live in or allow me to see it through the eyes of someone else.

If you’re searching for a good movie to see, I’ve compiled a list of 15 films from 2015 that you should watch. Everyone’s preferences are varied, but I’m confident you’ll appreciate two or three of the items on this list.

Is there a favorite of yours that I’m missing? Leave a comment below with some of your suggestions.

Films that inspire you

Some of the finest films of the year tell the story of individuals who strive for greatness while fighting against the odds. Starting a company might seem like a tremendous (and perhaps life-threatening) undertaking, so these films will help you stay motivated to pursue your goals.

The First Step

Philippe Petit’s real-life attempt to walk a tightrope across the World Trade Center buildings in 1974 is retold in this exciting film starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

The facts of the real tale are better told in the Academy Award-winning documentary “Man on Wire,” but “The Walk” will offer you a first-hand look at the dizzying heights and enchantment of what Petit accomplished.

2. Mount Everest

The actual account of a tragic Mt. Everest ascent in 1996, made famous by the bestseller book “Into Thin Air,” inspired “Everest.” The terrifying beauty of the world’s highest mountain is on full show here, as is the heartbreaking story of survival.

“Everest” is not for the faint of heart, but it is well worth seeing.

3. Aliens from Mars

The Martian is a fictional film that is not based on a factual story.

You may believe this is self-evident, but not everyone is as intelligent as you. The Martian, based on Andy Weir’s blockbuster fiction book, is as exciting, humorous, and uplifting as any film you’ll see this year. Matt Damon gives a near-perfect performance, and the genuine science underlying the science-fiction shows through.

One of my favorites from the year was this. I can’t say enough good things about it.

The Revenant (#4)

Would you be able to make it through a 200-mile wilderness trek? Could you do it after being attacked by a bear and having a fractured leg and open wounds that exposed bare ribs? Hugh Glass accomplished just that in 1823. In this renowned real tale directed by Alexander Iárritu, Leonardo DiCaprio plays Glass (fresh off his Academy Award for Best Director).

Films that make you think

The films that follow will make you think about the world you live in, where it’s going, and the individuals who have shaped it.

stevejobs

Steve Jobs is number five.

Despite having a better writer (Aaron Sorkin), a better director (Academy Award winner Danny Boyle), and a much better cast (Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, and Seth Rogen, among others), “Steve Jobs” was hampered by the fact that it came after so many other biopics about Apple’s enigmatic co-founder.

Still, if you haven’t seen a film that depicts Silicon Valley’s greatest genius in inflated detail, “Steve Jobs” is the one to see.

straightouttacompton-mv-5

Straight Outta Compton, No. 6

You don’t have to be a fan of rap music to understand NWA’s cultural effect when they debuted in the mid-1980s.

“Straight Outta Compton” is a moving biopic about a rap group that demanded its voice be heard, reflecting racial tensions that regrettably still exist today.

ex-machina

Ex Machina, no. 7

It’s in your best interests if I suggest this film with as little information as possible. “Ex Machina” is a science-fiction intellectual thriller with a tiny cast and restricted set pieces that tackles huge questions.

Oscar Isaac and Domhnall Gleeson (who also feature in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”) star, with Alicia Vikander giving a stellar performance. This was another another favorite of mine from the year. Let’s speak about it when you’ve seen it.

Films with comedic elements

The Big Short (#8)

“The Big Short” is described as a drama, but with Adam McKay (Anchorman, The Other Guys) directing and Steve Carell starring, it expertly crosses the comedy-drama divide.

The genuine narrative of those few who saw the 2008 market crisis coming and bet against the banks in order to win large is presented in “The Big Short,” based on the true story initially detailed in the nonfiction book of the same name. Christian Bale, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt round out the group.

9. Burnt

Last year, I suggested Chef, a film about a highly trained chef who becomes a food truck entrepreneur, directed by Jon Favreaux. This year, Bradley Cooper plays a head chef striving for forgiveness in a similar capacity.

Although “Burnt” has gotten mixed reviews, Cooper’s personality shines through and elevates the film. Give this one a try if you’re a gourmet.

Films for the whole family

You can take the whole family to watch these films without jeopardizing your sanity.

10. From the Inside Out

It’s no secret that we at Bplans adore Pixar’s culture as much as we enjoy their films. While the studio’s production has been criticized for declining in quality in recent years, “Inside Out” represents a triumphant return to form.

Although there were two Pixar films released in 2015, “Inside Out” (an Oscar contender) is much superior than “The Good Dinosaur” (on pace to become the studio’s first financial disaster).

The Force Awakens (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) (#11)

This is, without a doubt, the best film of the year. No one thought Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012 would be a success, but how far The Force Awakens will fly remains to be seen. It will be historic, and you will not want to miss it.

Documentary films are films that are based on true events. 

“Truth is stranger than fiction,” observed Mark Twain, and it may frequently be more intriguing. Here are a few documentaries from 2015 that are likely to captivate you.

A Lego Brickumentary is number 12 on the list.

The Lego Movie’s tremendous success catapulted the toy industry to a new level of cultural relevance. You may now learn about the company’s history and how the “Toy of the Century” has inspired millions of people all across the globe to express their creativity in A Lego Brickumentary.

Steve Jobs: The Man Behind the Machine (#13)

If the many biopics haven’t aroused (or fulfilled) your curiosity, this documentary, directed by Academy Award winner Alex Gibney, could be the answer.

“The Man in the Machine” presents a captivating and nuanced look into the environment that Jobs constructed around him, including first-hand testimonies from those who knew and worked with Steve Jobs, as well as film of Steve speaking his own ideas.

14. Keepers of the Find

We’ve heard some outlandish money-making schemes at Bplans. However, I don’t believe one of them has ever been “make a severed leg a tourist attraction.”

You have to see it to believe it, but “Finders Keepers” tells the tale of two men disputing over who has legal ownership of something: the guy who lost his limb or the one who discovered it.

Malala Yousafzai is the name he gave me.

Almost everyone has heard of Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize laureate in 2014, a 15-year-old Pakistani girl who was almost assassinated by the Taliban for being an outspoken champion for girls’ education.

We watch the emergence of Malala’s impact as a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, as well as the platform she and her father continue to utilize to be a voice for girls who are silenced, in this new documentary.  

Special mentions

Despite not appearing on the list above, there are a number of additional films worth mentioning.

  • In “Mad Max: Fury Road,” “Sicario,” and “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2,” Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt, and Jennifer Lawrence, respectively, won praise for their portrayals of powerful female characters.
  • This year’s main franchise crowd-pleasers were “Jurassic World,” “Fast & Furious 7,” and “Ant-Man.”
  • A few indie films that stuck out for me were “While We’re Young,” “Dope,” and “Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl.” Finally, with “Beasts of No Nation,” the first picture in its theatrical/video-on-demand program, Netflix made a splash.

So, how about you? In the comments section below, tell us about your favorite films from 2015.
