2. Sing Street

After the misstep of Begin Again, Once's John Carney is back with another delightful musical, this time about a young Dublin boy who starts a band to impress, of course, a girl.

How the insanely catchy "Drive It Like You Stole It" wasn't nominated for an Oscar is anyone's guess, because the movie's soundtrack is infectiously charming, the performances are great, and like Once it cleverly melds joy and melancholy to make the movie more than just a whimsical Irish musical.

It's not exactly the most unpredictable movie around, but it's overflowing with heart, and that's what really matters most of all.
