Top 10 Films of 2012 (version 1.0)

2012 was an interesting year for films, and by "interesting" I am kindly trying to say that there were not that many stand out, and unforgettable experiences. Not to say there were not some really fantastic films released this year, because in my humble little opinion there were some really incredible releases. Not to mention in its defense there are a small plenty of great looking films I have yet to see.

This year it seems some of the films I liked the most also came along with very mixed and argued opinions, and in one very serious case one film in particular will carry with it the memory of a tragedy. It felt for a while that every film I saw and loved was being picked apart and critisized by the masses. Alas, I stick by my choices, even if I do fall into a minority.

This years list was a challenge, it was actually hard coming up with a top 10 list at all. It took no time for me to decide what my top 5 films were, and my #1 selection was decided instantaneously after the first viewing. However beyond the fifth choice is where I really had to stop and think about what to pick, they just didn't really fall into any particular place. So my top 5 choice are in fact an accurate presentation of my absolute favorite films of 2012, and in the correct order. 6-10, well I will avoid calling them "Honorable mentions" because they deserve better, so maybe we can just call them "The rest of my favorites". Keep in mind that if you know me you should expect that if I am to see any of the many, many films I missed out on in the near future this list may get a refresh, a 2.0 if you will.

So here it is,
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) Django Unchained


2) Lawless


3) ARGO


4) The Dark Knight Rises


5) Prometheus


6) The Avengers



7) The Flowers of War (Technically a 2011 film, but the North American release was August 2012)




8) Cloud Atlas




9) The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey



10) Lincoln

  1. Of course it is all about taste and definitely some good movies in your list, but Flowers of War (if you want to see it as a 2012 movie) was below standards. Definitely not Zhang Yimou's best work. But I really liked End of Watch, Detachment and the French movie Intouchables.

  2. Thanks! I am definitely in the minority for "Flowers", and agree its not Yimous best, but it just seemed to gel with me I suppose. I really want to see End of Watch.

  6. Often we hear experts on television that report a certain stock is gonna soar and now is the time to buy.
    This business will likely be operated from the owner's home and will likely be done entirely for
    the internet. A well-developed business plan is a lot like your blueprint for victory.
