Greetings readers and welcome to what has now officially become the end of Year 2 here at OneFilmFan.com! This year has seen me viewing a personal record-setting number of theatrical releases, 132 in total, between Mainstream and Independent, over the course of the last 12 months! I feel it has demonstrated the commitment, effort, and desire I have in seeking an open door to have this be what I do for a living. May 2016 become the year!!
And so, it is with great pleasure that I present my list for the Top Films of 2015, starting specifically with the Theatrical Mainstream efforts. As always, this was a year of ups and downs for the big boys, with several projects highly anticipated turning out disappointing, while others were unexpected gems. So, think it is time for the list to speak for itself, with the understanding that many, many films were enjoyed, but these represent the best of those within each category I choose to expand on, all of which have been reviewed here.
Final thought, the films in each list are in no particular order. So, how about we get to it, eh?
