Each day leading up to the New Year I will reveal ten films in the count down of my favorite films of the year. Feel free to chime in with your favorite films of the year or what you think of my choices. The top 20 films of the year will be revealed as part of my annual article for Buzz Feed as well as on here on New Years Eve at 10pm Central Time.
Here are the best films of the year...
#70 - Veronica Mars

It might not be the greatest film of the year or touch new ground but for fans of the show and I am one of them it does more than any episode could have done making worthy of the movie creation.
#69 - Palo Alto

Gia Coppola a cousin of the Coppola family does a great job taking from Sofia with style and art and adding smart and sharp interesting dialogue to the mix in this coming-of-age story.
#68 - If I Stay...

Despite bad critical reviews If I Stay adds a great sci-fi spin to the coming-of-age rom-com. Though the story is cliched it still builds for quite an entertaining ride.
#67 - What If..

Not just your basic Romantic Comedy, What If allows it's extremely talented cast and Juno Temple to thrive in what might possibly be the only film where she isn't shown completely naked.
#66 - The Mule

A late night shocker, The Mule didn't get much of a release in the United States but it's smart, captivating and true story allows for a very dark comedy with suspense to match.
#65 - White Bird in a Blizzard

Shailene Woodley is stunning in this book adaptation and the twists and turns just keep coming as the mystery unravels for this Sundance hit.
#64 - Blue Ruin
![](http://www.sundance.org/images/filmguide/2014/13870-2.jpg)
There is quite the story around the release of Blue Ruin and I was directly a part of it. Sitting in the theater at Sundance as the seats collapsed. The audience was escorted out and given a refund or to rewatch the film at a new screening. At the second screening the same thing happened and the theater was shut down. During the third and final screening that was for free a fire alarm was pulled. The film was never fully seen publicly at Sundance and it's creepy story transcended into how the film was received. However even on a surface level it excites.
#63 - Slaying the Badger

This is one of the best 30 for 30's from ESPN of all-time. A must watch, thrill ride.
#62 - Mitt

A documentary of the campaign of Mitt Romney gives an exclusive and unique inside look into a presidential campaign.
#61 - About Last Night

Kevin Hart carries this Broadway play into the 21st century and does a hell of a job at it.
