Best films Russelling Reviews in 2014

There are good and bad films every year. We are moving into the final season of films for 2014. The industry is ramping up for the awards season and many of the best films are yet to come. 

For the sake of not forgetting the films from the first part of the year so far, here are the top 12 films from Russelling Reviews in 2014. 

Why twelve? What is wrong with being different? Honestly, we did not know which films to drop to make it a top ten. 

The list will be compiled by the film's overall ratings. Then there will be categories added for consideration when choosing a film from the beginning of the year. The top 12 does include films with mature ratings. Read the reviews before considering the films.
