FINALLY! French Toast Sunday takes a look at the best of the past film year with a series of top 5 lists. By using a ranked score from our collective lists, we determine the overall highest rated choices. Let’s kick things off by taking a look at the films from the past year that we think deserved a little more recognition. Here’s our top 5 Underrated Movies from 2015.

#05 / The Visit

Who would have thought M. Night Shyamalan had another good film in him? Sure he had to resort to the found footage style to pull it off, but that’s not such a bad thing. This horror flick about two kids visiting their grandparents for the first time – and filming it for a documentary – had genuine scares, good acting, and a subtle (for Shyamalan) twist. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come for the director turned punchline. – Robert

#04 / Focus

Releasing early in the year, Focus bombed at the box office despite it’s likable leads. Starring Will Smith and Margot Robbie, the movie is about con artists that get wrapped up in attraction. The film’s marketing tried to rely on the attractive people in the forefront without letting on just how fun it actually is. It’s not perfect but has a few moments that border on it. It’s sexy and clever and will keep you guessing throughout. Overall, it is a very enjoyable flick that I hope finds an audience. There is a spectacular scene with BD Wong that makes the entire movie worth the watch. – Lindsay

#03 / Shaun the Sheep Movie

It’s a film about sheep. Normal, not-talking, pretty boring sheep. There’s a great big fat sheep, and a tiny little lamb, and various sizes and shapes in between. Given that at no point in this film do these sheep actually talk – nor in fact do any of the others characters, including the humans – it’s not all that surprising that it wasn’t breaking box office records worldwide. However it does deserve your attention because, like all the other Aardman stop motion films such as Chicken Run and Pirates!, it’s hilarious, adorable and made from the heart. It’s British to a fault, but then again so am I, so what’s wrong with that? – Jay

#02 / The Man From U.N.C.L.E.

I was so frustrated in the weeks following The Man From U.N.C.L.E.’s release as it performed poorly at the box office. My hope and desire to see a sequel to this incredibly fun, stylish movie filled with interesting characters and a great set up for films to come, withered immediately. This movie should have been a bigger hit and its criticisms did not click with me. I loved this movie and will continue to recommend it to everyone I know (and maybe those blu ray sales can somehow secure a sequel). – Jess

#01 / What We Do In The Shadows

What We Do In The Shadows flew under the radar in early 2015 but is a brilliant, laugh-out-loud funny movie that deserves to be seen and talked about for years to come. Co-written and co-directed by Taika Waititi (who has since been tapped to direct the next Thor movie, Thor: Ragnarok) and Jemaine Clement (of Flight of the Conchords fame), this mockumentary follows a group of vampires living together in New Zealand. The film is hilarious and way more clever and astute than it should be, deriving laughs from everything from cheesy, classic vampire lore and other related horror genre conventions, to the banalities of everyday life with roommates (including washing dishes or trying to get into nightclubs). Having these bumbling bloodsuckers operate within such mundane situations (and negotiating those elements with more supernatural ones), and structuring the entire film as if it were a real documentary, makes this one of the most unique, fun, and smart movies of 2015. – Sara
