Interstellar: It's not a film you can instantaneously fall in love with. It requires a great amount of patience and understanding to enjoy Christopher Nolan's sci-fi drama about the search for a habitable planet when earth is on the brink of extinction.
Agreed, it's awkwardly slow-paced, but it's unarguably the best cinematic experience you can have in cinemas - provided you watch it with sincerity because a lot of scientific terminology can catch you off guard.
The Babadook: This horror-thriller will get under your skin and play with your psyche. Jennifer Kent in her directorial debut gives us the best horror experience since "The Shining", and it's unlikely to experience something so brilliant once again.
Venturing deep into the fears of childhood and adulthood, "The Babadook" is the best retelling of a horror story sans cliches. Essie Davis and Noah Wiseman deserve to be credited with the best on screen mother-son pair.
Edge of Tomorrow: A sci-fi work with the heart of a video game, "Edge of Tomorrow" gives Tom Cruise a chance to return to his league with a bang, and he does so effortlessly in the role of an army public relations officer who is thrown into the middle of a war and is expected to be combat-ready in just a few hours.
It's the most entertaining film to have come out with the concept of time loop.
The Grand Budapest Hotel: Coming from one of the most creative filmmakers, Wes Anderson, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is an odd screwball comedy that comes alive with the sparkling performance of Ralph Fiennes as concierge Gustave H.
For hardcore fans of Anderson, this is a full course meal with all the right ingredients to be gobbled down in one go.
Nightcrawler: An Oscar-deserving performance by Jake Gyllenhaal makes "Nightcrawler" the most unmissable films of the year.
Despite its murky message, it's a thriller that makes us sit up and take notice of the extremely talented actor hidden within Jake, who plays a character obsessed with real-life tragedy and carnage to the hilt.
