"We're about to crash into the sun." "Yeah, but it's gonna look really cool."- MY FAVOURITE SHOTS OF 2014

           If I wanted to follow tradition, there should have been 14 shots in this list, just how there were 13 shots last year and 12 the year before that. However, 2014 was an extraordinarily good year for films and for being a film fan and I just cannot choose between the following. So here are all of the shots!

Note: The shots are in alphabetical order except the last one which is my favourite shot of 2014.



















And my favourite shot of 2014-

As breathtaking as all the shots above are, my heart nearly burst out of my chest when this one happened. For those who have watched the film, they know exactly what I'm talking about. Watching Mommy was like watching something dynamic, almost living and this shot was the one where what I was seeing matched what I was feeling. One could argue that it works better in motion but no other singular moment in film last year or maybe ever has made me go "Oh fuck" like this shot. It is unbelievably beautiful.


           And with that, my "Best of 2014" lists are go! Watch out for my Favourite Scenes tomorrow. 

What was your favourite shot of 2014?

    I want to do one of these posts too, but I still have so many films to see from last year. UGH.

    And so many great shots here...particularly the Under the Skin, Birdman, Ida and Godzilla shots...love them. The bounty of rich cinematography this year is just remarkable.

      Oh yes, last year was bonkers when it came to great cinematography.

    LOVED these shots, such a wonderful year for cinematography. I heard of this moment in Mommy and I cannot wait to see this.

    I love this post! I love that you included that shot from Godzilla because regardless of how anyone felt about that movie, that was spectacular.

    Great picks, it actually hurts to look at that Starred Up shot. Such an emotional moment. Oooh I really want to see Mommy!! What's the movie with Mia Wasikowska?

    Amazing list! I LOVE the shots from The Immigrant, The Guest, Starred Up (very underrated cinematography), Mr. Turner, Ida, Nymphomaniac, Mommy, Birdman, and Under the Skin.

    My favorite shot from 2014 is probably the shot from The Immigrant you included. It's so brilliant!

      The shot from The Immigrant has to be one of the best last shots of all time. I honestly like the movie more because of it.
