Much like 2014, I did not expect 2015 to offer a str0ng selection of cinematic gems, but offer it did.
Quite an impressive feat considering that the general law for media I consume is that it must pass My Media Litmus Test.
Without further adieu, the winners are:

These were my top picks of 2015. What were yours?
Love this list, but you’re the first person I’ve seen who has put Jem on their list!
It wasn’t a perfect film and Jon Chu got screwed over in terms of budget and studio interference. Just the same, he managed to create a reimagining of the movie that paid tribute to the legacy of all things Starlight.
I’ve always loved the “Fast and Furious” series, but have yet to see the 7th movie. I am looking forward to checking it out.
One of my favorite movies this past year had to be “The Martian” I suggest you check it out if you ever get the chance!
The book was far better than the movie and I suppose that’s why there was no best director nomination for Ridley Scott, but “The Martian,” the movie, was very entertaining. (Banner Year for Sci-Fi movies, too since Mad Max:Fury Road and the Martian were both nominated for Best Picture by AMPAS.)
No Hateful 8???
Nope.
You didn’t like it?
Clearly not enough for it to make this list.
I thought it was great!!! Kurt Russell and Sam Jackson were Top Notch. What didn’t you like about it?
I don’t like having to explain myself when I don’t have to and I won’t.
cool.
Interesting choices—Jem and Fantastic, ok. I always wanted to see Lila & Eve although some major critics panned it and it zipped past me in Detroit. Maybe I can catch on Netflix.
