The Year of the Blockbuster
Mad Max: Fury Road
Oh, where do we begin with this post-apocalyptic masterpiece? Mad Max: Fury Road was more than just a movie; it was an experience. With its stunning visuals, badass female lead (hello, Imperator Furiosa!), and a practically non-existent plot (because who needs one when you've got action?), this flick left audiences craving more. And the best part? It was a practical effects extravaganza, proving that you don't need CGI to blow minds.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
The Force was strong with this one, as J.J. Abrams kicked off the latest Star Wars trilogy with a bang. The film introduced us to new heroes Rey and Finn, brought back classic characters like Han Solo and Princess Leia, and gave us a tantalizing taste of the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke. Plus, who could forget the epic lightsaber battle between Kylo Ren and Rey? Swoon
TV Shows That Had Us Hooked
Game of Thrones
Oh, 2015. The year Game of Thrones finally answered the question: "Who will sit on the Iron Throne?" (Spoiler alert: it was a bit of a bloodbath.) With the epic "Hardhome" episode, the heart-wrenching "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken," and the explosive "Mother's Mercy," season 5 had us on the edge of our seats. And let's not forget the infamous "shame" walk. Brrr
Jessica Jones
Before she was snapping selfies with Captain America, Jessica Jones was kicking ass and taking names in her own Netflix series. This gritty, no-holds-barred take on the Marvel universe introduced us to a flawed, complex heroine who wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Plus, David Tennant's Kilgrave was one of the most terrifying and mesmerizing villains we'd seen in ages.
Music That Rocked Our World
Adele - 25
After a four-year hiatus, Adele returned with a vengeance in 2015, dropping her third studio album, 25. With heart-wrenching ballads like "Hello" and "When We Were Young," Adele had us all reaching for the tissues and asking, "Why did you have to go and make things so complicated?"
Taylor Swift - 1989
Speaking of pop queens, Taylor Swift also had a massive 2015 with the release of her fifth album, 1989. This synth-pop masterpiece gave us anthems like "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," and "Bad Blood," and solidified Swift's status as a pop culture powerhouse.
The Year of the Viral Sensation
Harlem Shake
Remember when the Harlem Shake took over the internet? This meme turned dance craze started with a single YouTube video and quickly spread like wildfire, with everyone from schools to businesses to celebrities jumping on board. It was the ultimate example of how a simple, silly idea can capture the world's attention.
The Dress
In a year filled with viral sensations, none were quite as divisive as the dress. Was it blue and black, or white and gold? The world may never know, but one thing's for sure: this humble frock sparked a global debate that had everyone weighing in.
