Just realized how few 2015 movies I have seen. Googled what would be considered a top 50, and I haven't watched probably 40 of them. Of the remaining 10, only two were worth mentioning. Looking forward to seeing the results.
Thank you. Since it counts, I am now going to shamelessly promote this film: Stations of the Cross (https://decentfilms.com/reviews/stationsofthecross). If this isn't allowed, you can delete my comment. Few people have heard of this, let alone seen it. Don't let the questionable imagery of the poster deter you; I heartily recommend this movie for anyone who watches artistic cinema.
This is a somber, challenging religious drama about a pious teen girl in an ultra-conservative Catholic traditionalist family. It is unlike anything you have ever seen: the film is only 14 unbroken shots, corresponding to the 14 stations. It brings up interesting questions about faith and how to live it out without providing any easy answers. This is a great movie that's worthy of debate.

I have a question: there's a German movie I love that was released there in 2014 but released in the United States in 2015. Does that count or not?
I say it counts

Agreed, 2017 is unequivocally PEAK. But there are still a lot of gems that I hope can be illuminated by the poll.
