As 2014 draws to a close, it’s time for us to look back on another year’s worth of gratuitous movie pirating. And surprisingly enough, this year’s most torrented movies weren’t actually all that terrible. You’ve got taste, ya thieves.
Of course, that’s not to say that all 20 were winners. But according to Variety’s data from security firm Excipio, quite a few Oscar nominees hit the top 10, which is more than we can say for last year’s set. And there is some weirdness, heresince Excipio for some reason decided to count the 1987 Robocop and this year’s as one movie. But that little hiccup aside, here are your 20 most pirated films in all their unpaid for glory:
1. The Wolf of Wall Street (30.035 million)
2. Frozen (29.919 million)
