The Most Popular Motion Pictures of 2014: An Alternative List

Better than the box office.

What were the most popular motion pictures of 2014? You could go here for one set of answers, but that limits you to movies that actually appeared in theaters. You'll probably get a better sense of the images rattling around in our collective head by examining the year's top trending videos on YouTube, which surely had a larger audience than anything you had to plunk down $10 to see at the cineplex:

Goku vs Superman. Epic Rap Battles of History

Paging Michael Bay!

[UnCivilServant]

The fifteen minute per attack power up on the one side makes that a fairly uneven fight.

[Steve G]

If it's rap battles you want...

SF vs MARSOC

[Cdr Lytton]

But no Sarah 🙁

[Tman]

FILM THREAD!!!!

Who hasn't seen Birdman yet? You should go see Birdman. It's fucking awesome.

Remember this list the next time someone says the internet is proof the nerds won.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Except that list was heavily edited. Had they gone by views alone, that entire list would currently be filled with MLG Montage Parody Videos.

Jus' sayin'

[Heroic Mulatto]

In case, someone was wondering. No, that wasn't a serious claim.

[Scruffy Nerfherder]

You owe me some eardrums

[CE]

I'm pretty sure the entire list would not be safe for work.

[Swiss Servator, Winter kommt!]

No Warty Takes Cleveland or STEVE SMITH SUCCESSFUL DATING ADVICE???

[Auric Demonocles]

Auric's recent dating advice is: don't give a fuck at all. For some reason, kind of checking out and not being able to remember which girl is which is super-effective.

[Auric Demonocles]

I suspect this is the opposite of Steve Smith's advice...

[GILMORE]

Its a good thing H&R is becoming like Buzzfeed, because otherwise i'd have to go to Buzzfeed.

(munches Doritos)

[Steve G]

I know, right?

(tacks swig of mountain dew code red)

[Steve G]

*takes. dmnit

[Auric Demonocles]

I finally watched that harassment video. As I expected, the 2 minutes should really have been about 30 seconds.

[generic Brand]

At first I couldn't believe that it was a top ten viewed video for this year. But when you think about the vast amount of people who watch it repeatedly to confirm their idea that women are constantly harassed on the street, it make perfect sense.

[Auric Demonocles]

Admittedly, there were some instances there where the guy is going to far, but "Hey there" is not harassment.

[Scarecrow Repair]

I watch it to silently agree with the catcallers.

[GILMORE]

I am disappointed that we don't already have a video-game version. Hopefully Wii, so you can use offensive gestures to complement your commentary.

How else are we going to give the Anita Sarkeesians of the world something real to complain about?

The best thing about Patriarchy? is you're always far short of what Feminists believe to be the status quo; which just provides so much awesome leeway with which to amp up your Misogyny/Chauvinism levels to their expectations.

[Kaptious Kristen]

Mutant Spider Dog is one I can watch over & over and LOL each time. The soundtrack really makes it.

[Stormy Dragon]

Notice that all the civilians involved managed to deal with mutant spider dog without shooting it.

[Auric Demonocles]

It clearly was not a pitbull!

[Paul.]

duh, they think it's a spider. If they thought it was a dog, they'd shoot it.

[Paul.]

No shit. I hadn't seen that one until today. That's excellent.

[Heroic Mulatto]

Speaking of trending videos...Bilbo Baggins doesn't give a single, solitary fuck!

[Auric Demonocles]

It looks like that's all he does.

[Fist of Etiquette]

No such list is complete without something from PewDiePie.

[Juice]

I have never heard of the mutant spider dog and it's got 118 million views? Good lord.

[Hugh Akston]

plunk down $10 to see at the cineplex

-Jesse Walker, reporting from 2004.

[CE]

He only goes to matinees.

[PapayaSF]

Mutant Spider Dog was really well done. The picture-taker getting caught in the web was hilarious. Devil Baby Attack was also very good.

My recent film recommendations:

Tim's Vermeer
Jordorowsky's Dune
20 Feet From Stardom
Grand Budapest Hotel

[Libertarian]

That was one HELL of an editing job on the Nike video -- they made soccer look interesting.

(Oh, excuse me, I meant FUTBOL)
