2014 was another good year for film fans. Audiences were spoiled for choice when it came to critically acclaimed dramas like Gone Girl, technical marvels like Interstellar and blockbuster juggernauts like Guardians Of The Galaxy which actually grossed more than the GDP of some small countries.

Audiences can look forward to genuine blockbusters and members of the Billionaire Club like Star Wars Episode VII and The Avenger:s Age Of Ultron, big ensembles and character led films like Inherent Vice and original films from big names like Martin Scorsese with Silence.

Join us as we take a look at 15 films released this year which don't feature superheroes or talking robots but should offer cinema-goers a rewarding cinematic experience over the next 12 months...
