Notes:

Only Lovers Left Alive (2014) sends all of the other known films to date with a vampire genre to the trash bin. Sophisticated, intelligent; and a potpourri of melancholy, music, and art--this film must be a strong contender as this year's best film. An undeniably powerful cast that magnificently delivers makes Only Lovers Left Alive (2014) a must-watch for movie-lovers around. Tom Hiddleston and Tilda Swinton make a very convincing deeply-in-love couple.
