I’ll go ahead and admit that I was suppose to post this on Saturday to better coincide with 2014 nappyafro Awards. But things happen and my list of the best movies of 2014 still closes the nappyafro Awards. But first a few things:
Sadly, since I work a lot (and run a small Hip-Hop website) I didn’t have time to watch every movie I wanted. I guess I could delay this list and go watch them now (because all of them are now available) but that would be a dick move. I guess. Here’s the movies I didn’t see and thus will not appear on this list:
- Selma – A well done movie about MLK? This probably would have been on the list.
- Dear White People – From what I’ve heard, this isn’t as good as I hoped. But still. It’s a movie called Dear White People.
- Birdman – This feels like it would be my shit. Plus people are talking “movie of the year” with this one.
- Big Hero 6 – The one animated movie I wanted to see this year.
I also have kept up with every movie I’ve seen since July 2012 on a Tumblr website called Watching Movies & Shit. Because of that, I know I watched 137 movies in 2014. 79 of those movies were released in 2014.
Also, if you really mess with me online, you’ll know that I kinda already gave my top Movies of 2014 on Short-T’s Ratchet City podcast (You can listen to that here).
And finally, the 2014 nappyafro Awards: Movies of the Year
