AMERICAN FILM INSTITUTE'S TOP 10 OF 2015

THE BIG SHORT
BRIDGE OF SPIES
CAROL
INSIDE OUT
MAD MAX: FURY ROAD
THE MARTIAN
ROOM
SPOTLIGHT
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON

The Revenant is the only thing that was eligible here that missed. (Brooklyn is ineligible.) Now that Star Wars has been seen, it's showing up in top 10 lists and getting some critics citations. Had the film been screened sooner, it might have had a chance with some of the critics groups that have been mentioned and built some momentum. Of course, it helps that it will be the box-office story of the next month or so.
