Welcome back to Rank & File, the latest and greatest GameTimeBro feature – it’s not your father’s listicle!

Two months ago, seven bros lent their opinions on how the television landscape stacked up in 2015. Today, those same seven bros are pleased to provide takes of a similar nature. With the 88th Academy Awards right around the corner, the time is right for us to reflect on the movies we saw in 2015 – or perhaps more accurately, on the movies released in 2015 that we mostly saw in 2016. Normally I let Keith come up with all of our brand-centric forced puns, but this one’s just staring me right in the face, so without further ado, ladies and gentlemen – welcome to the Broscars!

I know, right? Anyway, here’s our collaborative list: letterboxd.com – gametimebro-ranks-film-in-2015

The ballots speak for themselves in lieu of annotations. If you’ve got an axe to grind with regard to where so-and-so ranked such-and-such, please, by all means, let us hear about it.

Lastly, some parting notes.

• The collaborative list is based on the same ranking algorithm used in our 2015 Television Rank & File feature. The algorithm takes into account both the number of ballots each film appeared on and also the average position on those ballots. A weighted average is used that rewards high rankings more than it punishes low ones. The lowest-ranked movies on our combined list can thus more accurately be described as our “least loved” movies rather than our “most hated.”
• To qualify for our ballots, a movie must have been shown in a non-festival setting in the U.S. for the first time in the calendar year of 2015.
• To qualify for our collaborative ranked list, a movie must have appeared on more than one ballot.
• Only one movie was seen by all seven bros: Furious 7. Not coincidentally, it remains the only movie to which we have ever devoted an entire podcast.
• Interestingly, the eight Oscar nominees for Best Picture show up on this list in a largely different order than they did in our recent Oscar podcasts. This can be partially attributed to new contributions from Stevie and Sweeney, but it’s also due to some re-ordering from three of the five podcast distributors. There’s nothing wrong with that – opinions change!
• Compared against a vague critical consensus, our biggest collective omissions seem to be Carol, 45 Years, and Son of Saul. Our biggest snubs that didn’t garner any Oscar nominations were The Assassin and It Follows.
• All seven contributors had different movies ranked first overall, which speaks to both a diversity of tastes and also an abundance of quality movies.
• The only movie ranked worst by multiple people was Fifty Shades of Grey, which speaks to just how bad that movie was.
• The ballots are already out of date. We needed to finalize our feature and we set a cutoff date accordingly. Since then, Trevor has seen two more movies and started a third. Marissa plans to see one this weekend. I’ve got one on deck myself, and I believe Sweeney does too. So it goes!
