Think you’re a true cinephile? Well, every year Sight & Sound releases its list of top movies from an annual poll of critics, curators and academics. And every year, they make people who enjoy films like Frozen feel inadequate.

The good news, however, is that most of these films will be or are available streaming so you can catch up next year when people outside of New York City, London and Paris get to see these flicks.

ANYWAY, on to the top ten list:

1. The Act of Killing
2. Gravity
3. Blue Is the Warmest Color
4. The Great Beauty
5. Frances Ha (Streaming Now on Netflix)
6. A Touch of Sin
7. Upstream Color (Streaming Now on Netflix)
8. The Selfish Giant
9. Norte, the End of History
10. Stranger by the Lake

Only one of these movies will likely be on my top ten list, and it’ll nearly as high on my list as it is on this one. Joshua Oppenheimer’s The Act of Killing will go down as one of the great docs of all time, up there with the likes of Thin Blue Line and Hoop Dreams. The rest? Well that all depends on how the rest of the movies release this year (read: The Wolf of Wallstreet) turn out.

Have you seen any of the movies on this list? Let me know in the comments below.
