2014 was a good year for films and as always I did see a bunch, but not everything so please let me know if I have missed your favourite.
One I have now seen (July 2015) is 'Next Goal Wins' (see above) a documentary that follows the worlds worst national footy team - American Samoa and how they go from losing 31-0 to Australia to getting their first ever win. And it was brilliant - the American Samoan people are so humble and have incredible faith that was infectious to even a hardened Dutch coach, good stuff!
In the mean time here are my fave films of the year, let the debate begin! Sorry in advance to fans of; Interstellar, Boyhood and Birdman!
