December 27, 201312 yr Should be an interesting mix given the types of movie watchers we have here like Caulfield, Qwerty, Milkman, etc. If you feel so inclined you can seperate International movies and Domestic.
December 27, 201312 yr My movie watching has slowed down considerably with a toddler so here's what I've seen this past year, ranked by favorite: Gravity American Hustle Spring Breakers World War Z This is the End Elysium We Are What We Are We're the Millers The Conjuring Only God Forgives Plan to watch Prisoners this weekend so I'd expect that to be in the top 5. EDIT: How the heck did I forget Spring Breakers? Edited December 28, 201312 yr by BigSqwert

December 28, 201312 yr Author QUOTE (Brian @ Dec 27, 2013 -> 05:08 PM) Jerk. Shut yo mouf and make your list
December 28, 201312 yr I can't include American Hustle, Wolf of Wall Street, etc., since I haven't had the chance to see many of the late December offerings, so just the movies I've actually seen so far this year. 1. 12 Years a Slave 2. Gravity 3. Frozen 4. Rush 5. Fruitvale Station 6. Captain Phillips 7. Saving Mr. Banks 8. Prisoners 9. World War Z 10. The Conjuring 11. The Last Stand (just because I was pleasantly surprised by this one) Hon Mention: Iron Man 3, Hunger Games, Monsters University, Fast & The Furious 6, Thor, The Heat DOC/Foreign Films 1. Blackfish 2. Sound City 3. The Act of Killing 4. Pacific Rim (because it actually made more money here in China than the US) 5. Blue is the Warmest Color (France) 6. A Touch of Sin (China) 7. About Time (England) 8. Drug War (China) 9. Personal Tailor (China) 10. No by Pablo Larrain

Personal Tailor (China) 10. No by Pablo Larrain Agree on Blackfish and Sound City. Need to see Act of Killing. Hope it goes up on Netflix soon.
December 28, 201312 yr Just realized I forgot a couple. The Butler should definitely be at the back end of the Top 10, as well as the Hobbit/Smaug (just watched, enjoyed a bit more than the first). And The Past (same director as A Separation, the Iranian director's great movie about a divorce dispute over a child)...maybe the best foreign language film.

I've been wanting to see Sound City since well before it came out, and still haven't done it. Shame on me. Didn't see a ton of movies, but in no particular order here's a few I did like... Wolf of Wall Street This is the End Thor 2 I was pretty disappointed in Star Trek. Edited December 28, 201312 yr by farmteam
December 29, 201312 yr We definitely could make a Top 10 for comedy movies... It would have The Heat, This is the End, Anchorman 2 (good but not great, a bit too redundant), We're The Millers, Grown Ups 2, Identity Thief (there are a lot of people that disliked that one), definitely NOT the Hangover 3, Bad Grandpa (although I didn't care for it), The Best Man Holiday and Warm Bodies.
December 30, 201312 yr My tentative Top 10, which will change in a few weeks after I see American Hustle, Wolf/WallStreet, Her, and Short Term 12. In no order for now. Blue Jasmine 12 Years A Slave Gravity Blackfish Kings of Summer Fruitvale Station Sound City In A World Spectacular Now Place Beyond the Pines

December 30, 201312 yr OK seriously why was Spring Breakers such a good movie. I even saw the Redeye critic give it a good review. Edited December 30, 201312 yr by pettie4sox
December 31, 201312 yr 1. Gravity 2. Man of Steel 3. Star Trek: Into Darkness 4. Thor: The Dark World 5. Pacific Rim 6. Elysium 7. Iron Man 3 8. This is the End 9. Hunger Games 10. A Band Called Death ( I think this actually came out in 2012, but didn't wide release until 2013)

I guess you have to be at the level to understand the movie. However, James Franco was pretty funny in that movie. LOOK AT ALL MY s***TTTTTT! Edited December 31, 201312 yr by pettie4sox
December 31, 201312 yr I don't think I've seen enough movies this year to compile a true top ten, but here are some of the movies I thoroughly enjoyed: Elysium The Conjuring Catching Fire We're The Millers Kick-Ass 2 Pacific Rim This Is The End

Young tits and ass meets Natural Born Killers. That is the only explanation. The only thing that kept me watching was the hope for more nudity. My wife was out after 45 minutes and then questioned (while knowing full well the answer) why I wanted to watch it in the first place.

January 17, 201412 yr Ok, here goes. 10. Spectacular Now 9. Sound City 8. Before Midnight 7. Kings of Summer 6. Blue Jasmine 5. Fruitvale Station 4. Blackfish 3. Lone Survivor 2. 12 Years A Slave 1. Wolf of WallStreet
