I'm the Founder and CEO of IMDb and here are my choices for the best movies of 2014. This is drawn from a longer list of all my 9/10 and 10/10 movies from 2014 (choosing just 10 is really difficult and I also have a few hotly tipped 2014 movies left to see).

Here are the 10 most significant character deaths of the 2014, as well as a few runners-up for good measure.
