37.) Love and Mercy [6/12/2015]

Growing up with Full House, I have always had a soft-spot for the Beach Boys, even as I grew up and realized most of their songs were about being high on the beach; this excellent bio-pic of the genius behind the group, Brian Wilson, and the album that broke him, Pet Sounds, was quite excellent and enjoyable, due in no small part to John Cusack (his best acting since High Fidelity), Paul Dano (his best since Little Miss Sunshine) and Elizabeth Banks (maybe her best ever).
