Game Of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin is quite the connoisseur when it comes to sci-fi/fantasy works, which is why it was an impressive notch on Interstellar's belt when he labelled the movie "the best of the year."

Martin discussed Interstellar in March 2015, where he ran down his favourite bits of media released in the previous year. His 2014 movie highlights included Guardians Of The Galaxy and Predestination, but the top prize went to Interstellar, which he described as "the most ambitious and challenging sci-fi film since Kubrick's 2001."

That's some high praise. GRRM has spoken!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for almost nine years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. He has been writing and video editing for 10+ years, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers and uploading them to YouTube (they're admittedly a bit rusty by today's standards). If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order or to tell you about the making of 1988's Remembrance of the Daleks, Danny is the person to ask.
