year on screen

What was your favourite film of 2014?

Big screen flicks.

THIS WEEK, WE’RE asking you about your favourite stuff of 2014.

You’ve already told us about the best TV programmes, and albums of the past 12 months. Now, we want to know about your cinema trips. 

HAS IT BEEN a great year for film, or you awaiting even better stuff in 2015?

That’s what we’ve been debating as we try to narrow down our favourite films of this year.

There was a strong Irish showing in 2014, with One Million Dubliners, Calvary and Frank all flying the green-white-and-gold in front of international audiences. But did they make the cut for you?

What was your favourite film of 2014?

To kick things off, here’s what had our reporters glued to the big screen this year:

Paul Hosford: Boyhood/Guardians of the Galaxy

Christine Bohan: Map to the Stars/Mistaken for Strangers
