You were excited to see Peanuts? I wasn't lol, they lose some charm to be going to 3d. Kinda like the chipmunks and Garfield :P Maybe I'm just old and prefer them in their original states lol.

I watched Peanuts this morning with my nephews and it was fantastic, they did an excellent job; the animation was really on point.
 
Just watched Creed. Excellent movie, just awesome; I can see why it was more or less universally praised. Also had Central Park Five, The Seven Five and Best of Enemies on today (Netflix docs); they were all really solid.

Some other movies I enjoyed that came to mind today were Prisoners, Drive, Shaun + Fuzz (I liked these two much, much, much more than anything else these guys ever did again) and The Wrestler. Just awesome flicks; for their their ambiance, humour and/or story.

For Doc people who want something really great to watch; there's a music one out there called 'A Band Called Death'; I dare anyone to not become an immediate fan of the band and get their music. It's one of the albums I constantly play. I was even close to buying one of the old 7''; just to have it... They're tough to find, and not cheap (what's $500.00 in the grand scheme anyways?).
 
Also for 2015 movies that were good and fun; The Man from U.N.C.L.E.
Fun little spy movie with two very likeable protagonists.
 
This is my top 15, I thought it was an off year for movies but still a lot of great ones

I just watched the force awakens. Honestly, all jokes aside, The Phantom Menace was better
 
I watch a lot of movies, mainly I try to find ones with a good story or atmosphere. Pretty much every genre goes, but I'd guess it's mostly drama, action, and scifi.

Here's some kind of top 10 and the following top 40 or so. I don't keep a list of the movies I've watched so there's probably some missing in there.

12 Monkeys
Atonement
In Bruges
Katsastus
Kingdom of Heaven (Director's cut, it's a completely different film compared to theatretical release)

I had major nerd-***** moments throughout the whole new Star Wars, loved it, they really brought back the old trilogy feel, so many goosebump moments!! Whereas I felt the prequels were too in love with CGI, although, I recently watched them and I still love III, would rank them 3-1-2 although #2 might just be a bias on my part because I watched it far too many times. I plan on going to see TFA at least once more while its in theatres.

I watched it 3 times in a 5 day span. The other two times were not planned. They just happened. Still enjoyed all viewings.

Yeah I think I'm gonna have to go see it once more (at least). I was watching the trailers again and got excited all over again haha

I signed up for Crave a few days ago and started re-watching Sopranos for the first time since it ended. Man what a great series.

Sons of Anarchy is on my to-watch list. I haven't watched it yet but it looks good.

Honestly all of my top 5 is almost interchangeable. I think after those 5 there is a step down where I would put Six Feet Under, Criminal Minds, Sherlock, Deadwood, Justified, Boardwalk Empire, Hell on Wheels, Vikings, Walking Dead, Game of Thrones... etc
