Film Comment Names 'Boyhood' Best Film Of 2014, Releases Top 20 List & 20 Films Without Distribution To See

Obviously. Given how the last month's been going, you could probably throw down pretty good odds that sight unseen, any new top ten list will include "Boyhood," and likely in first place. And so it goes with Film Comment, who have unveiled their list of the year's finest films. All the usual suspects are here, but let's point out some surprises. The Cannes buzz title "Stranger By The Lake" comes in at number six, and James Gray's "The Immigrant" rounds out the top ten with some more late season love for his controlled period film. In the category of "Films Without Distribution," we didn't realize Abel Ferrara's "Pasolini" needed a home, so we hope someone gets on that quickly. Same goes for John McNaughton's fucking bonkers "The Harvest" starring Michael Shannon and Samantha Morton (our review) and Tudor Cristian Jurgiu's excellent "The Japanese Dog" (our review).
