Talkhouse Film contributors and a select few friends of the site voted on their favorite theatrical releases of 2015. The results of the Talkhouse Film poll are below, showing all the titles that received multiple votes; individual ballots will be posted tomorrow. Ten points were awarded to first place films, 9 points were given to second place, etc.; for unranked lists, each selection was awarded 5.5 points, the average of 1 to 10, giving each equal weight. (N.B. As ballots were due on December 21, some awards season contenders released after that date figure less heavily in these lists.)
