Ultimate Movie Year finds the best films from weekends past to build an all-star lineup of cinema.

"Mad Max: Fury Road"
Released May 15, 2015
Directed by George Miller

The fourth Mad Max film begins quickly. The protagonist is immediately captured by a group of male zealots called the War Boys. When one of the group's top lieutenants goes rogue in an escape attempt, the captured Max is strapped to the hood of a machine designed for violence and destruction to give chase, alongside dozens of other heavily armored vehicles racing across a desert wasteland in pursuit. This is just the first 20 minutes.

If anybody watching was wondering what kind of movie they were watching, one moment clears it all up. The drum beats of the War Boys are heard and then seen. Several pale men are pounding their barrels on the back of one of the vehicles, and then the camera pans to the front, where a masked guitarist, clad in all red in front of giant speakers, continues to shred. A flamethrower erupts out of the guitar.

These riders bring their own soundtrack.
