    If you like quality Blockbusters some of the obvious great movies is Gone girl, Guardians of the Galaxy, Live Die Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow, Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, How to Train Your Dragon 2, The Conjuring, Frozen. Wolf of Wall Street. Star Trek Into Darkness

    If it does not necessarily have to be traditional blockbuster entertainment: Gravity, Boyhood, Mud, Whiplash, Birdman, Zero Dark Thirty, Dallas Buyers Club, the Imitation Game.

    And last: some of the best movies which few ppl saw: Snowpiercer, ..In a World, Chef, Blue Ruin, Stranger by the Lake, Cold in July, Joe, The Way, Way Back, Nebraska, All is Lost, Nightcrawler, Starred Up, Force Majeure, The Boxtrolls. Particle Fever

    Should be enough to last a long snowstorm. Other ppl can probably add to the list. Personally i would love suggestions in the third group - it is always fun to find hidden gems imo.

    id vouch for Guardians, Captain America, the Conjuring and Star Trek into darkness on the list above -all great movies that arent fit for coma patients.
    next part: Thor the dark world, Anchorman 2 , hunger games mocking jay.
    if its too slow it wont be on my list.

    -conjuring was a decent horror movie
    -anchorman 2 kinda stupid at times but still decently funny
    -hunger games kinda boring but eh
    Expendables 3: very silly action movie- somewhat entertaining though.

    i'm very picky.

    I really do not get the praise for Boyhood. I feel like I saw a different movie then everyone else or something. There is no plot, it was overly long, and the acting was not all that great outside of maybe Patricia Arquette. If it was not for the whole "filmed over 12 years thing" I don't think anyone would care at all about it. The guys at Red Letter Media pretty much nailed my feelings on it (Warning, some naughty language):

    RLM are very harsh imo. Personally i thought the acting was fine (particular Hawke ) and even though the movie dont have a real plot, it is still a story with plenty of drive and (obvious ) character development.
    I totally get the hating on the "12 years !! " hype though.
    It is funny watching Patricia Arquette going from babe to Bulgarian shot putter. And interesting to see how teenage kids fluctate between normal looking and pubescent geeks with oily skin. But as a youtube comment pointed out - Harry Potter kinda does the same thing. And same could be said about Linklaters own Before Sunrise trilogy.
    I would much rather see Boyhood winning the Best Movie Oscar than American Sniper which imo is a far worse movie. Birdman is better than both of them though.
