It's Mouse's favourite films of 2015! Ooh, the excitement builds! I'll bet you're positively quivering with anticipation... or maybe food poisoning. Either way, here's a list. And everybody loves a list.

10. Inside Out

Pixar prise open your conciousness and dissect what it is to be human and to live life with love and loss, all the while showcasing incredibly complex psychological principles with brightly coloured balls.

9. Ex Machina

A computer programmer stays with a Zuckerberg-esque engineer and his breakthrough in artificial intelligence, taking the form of a robotic woman. Disturbing, manipulative hijinks ensue.

8. It Follows

The most original horror film of recent times, it's beautifully directed with patience and enjoyable suspense. And then there's the soundtrack... oh, the soundtrack...

7. Crimson Peak

Victorian business ideals collide with Edgar Allen Poe as Guillermo Del Toro makes every shot a perfect thing of beauty. Also, Tom Hiddleston's bum.

6. The Peanuts Movie

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

5. Star Wars (Episode VII: The Force Awakens)

NEW STAR WARS IS GREAT!

4. Mad Max: Fury Road

Insane on vast levels of ecstasy. Features the best original character of the last decade of cinema in Furiosa. SHINY AND CHROME!

3. Nightcrawler

A thoroughly gripping, reckless swipe at modern mainstream media's borderline inhuman obsession with disaster, fear, and death.

2. Whiplash

When jazz attacks! The snarling hatred between old and new guards shot with the furious pace of a machine gun. Relentless.

1. Birdman Or (The Unexpected Virtue Of Ignorance)

Like watching exceptionally beautiful machinery perform as clockwork. Technically perfect, mesmerising, and so much fun.
