Ed: Blue Ribbon contributor Dave Goldfarb is so cranky with himself this year! Just wait til he hears what we think of Manu in Two Days, One Night.
Let’s get this straight. I was a terrible movie viewer this year. Terrible. Too much good television to watch? Maybe. More like: I’m incapable of watching movies at home without multi-tasking. The result? A year of watching movies that make one thing clear: I’m a philistine. I’m *positive* I must have watched more foreign language movies from 2015, but…I can’t remember what they were.

Anyway, here’s my list, which I will now defend vigorously and with anger, denying everything written above, because you and your list full of foreign gems is bullshit and you’re a commie pinko who liked Noah:
