Scenes of 2015

The best scenes of 2015.

Based on UK release date in the order I saw them. Although The Case Of Hana and Alice has yet to be released in the UK but screened at festivals.

• Whiplash

  The opening scene wastes no time in setting up the two characters and their relationship, I wish more films would just get to the point.

  However it was the ending that convinced me this was a five star film.

• Ex Machina

  Perhaps the moment of Ex Machina where things really passed the turing test was when Ava asked Caleb to close his eyes.

  When Nathan tears up the dancefloor is a pretty special moment as well.

• Big Hero 6

  Just about any moment when Baymax is on screen but let's go for the batteries running out.

• Appropriate Behavior

  The final scene on the train is a great ending.

• The Tale of the Princess Kaguya

  Fleeing the palace.

• Still Alice

  Alice finds her own video message

• Wild Tales

  So many great moments to choose from the freeze frame title shot came close but it's the climax of the road rage sequence that stands out the most.

• It Follows

  The opening sequence is a wonderful condensed version of the entire film.

• Mommy

  Yes, that moment. I knew it was coming and it still completely floored me.

• Girlhood

  Diamonds
  or
  "Let's try something new" followed by crazy golf.
