10 Recent Movies Certified Fresh On Rotten Tomatoes (That Everybody Ignored)

5. Song Of The Sea

Tomatometer rating: 98%Gross: $841,122 Being nominated for an Oscar usually helps the commercial chances of smaller films. Not the case, sadly, for Tomm Moore's Song Of The Sea, which followed Moore's previously Oscar-nominated The Secret Of Kells to be nominated for Best Animated Featured at the 2015 Academy Awards. Even though Song Of The Sea featured in a category of films that controversially beat out box office smash The Lego Movie, it took under a million dollars at the US box office. And though the film may not quite reach the giddy heights of Secret Of Kells, Song Of The Sea is still a mighty animation. Done in a storybook style, Moore's magical-realist movie is one for the family that has crucial resonance for the adults, who'll find a tale of magic slipping away from an increasingly sceptical society in the subtext. For every family member, though, it's hand-drawn moviemaking on another level.

Lover of film, writer of words, pretentious beyond belief. Thinks Scorsese and Kubrick are the kings of cinema, but PT Anderson and David Fincher are the dashing young princes. Follow Brogan on twitter if you can take shameless self-promotion: @BroganMorris1
