Your favourite movie of 2012

Havent managed to see Les Miserables yet, technically that is this year, here its released on boxing day, so that might end up my no 1

Aside from that Looper is my favourite movie of the year, not exactly original, some concepts seen before, but still felt fresh and clever, and Bruce is always a sure bet


Et toi?

 

Alex Cross

 

not current in my movies but i did mange to see ''savages''...it was an ok time waster...

heard a revue of les miz...''ghastly from start to finish''....the dude playing the bishop is colm wilkonson...i worked with him for 500 phantom of the operas in toronto

 

I've just seen 'Flight' for the first time last night and I think that'll definitely land in my Top 5. Yikes, I actually said 'land'! Total accident. Very much enjoyed 'Argo', 'End of Watch', 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'The Bourne Legacy' too despite it's terrible reviews!

 

I am not good with these "Best Of" surveys - since I like things for different reasons so it is not easy to categorize. So, looking at the 61 movies I have seen so far this year, here is a list of those I have seen two or more times in theater.

Chronicle
John Carter
The Avengers
Safe
The Amazing Spider Man
Total Recall
Twilight: Breaking Dawn 2 (3X)

I have also gotten the DVD of all those except Twilight, which I will get in March.

Also, movies I have seen only once in theater but liked enuf to get the DVD were:

Red Tails
The Cabin in the Woods
Savages
The Dark Knight Rises
The Bourne Legacy

And gonna get DVD of:

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
Silver Linings Playbook
Jack Reacher
Django Unchained

 

Total Recall was the biggest dissapointment of the year, it shouldnt have sucked as much as it did

 

I only went to the movies three times in 2012. Generally I think that TV shows are better than movies. However, the movie I most enjoyed this year was The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

 

Wow, the only two in your list I've seen is Django Unchained and Savages.

 

Underworld: Awakening
Cabin in the Woods
Prometheus
Brave
Magic Mike
Odd Life of Timothy Green
ParaNorman
Resident Evil: Retribution

 

It appears I have not seen any new movies in 2012 So it is pretty nice to see these best of lists here :cheers2:

 

berberian sound studio
into the abyss
sightseers
skyfall
the dark knight rises

but i've been reliably informed that when i get round to watching them, a royal affair and this is not a film will be making my list as well

 

Been watching movies alk my life. Love em. Last one been watching boys dnt cry. Great movie. What do u think bout it

 

Boys Don't Cry is a great movie.

 

Thought 2012 was a pretty week year for going to the movies. Me and the missus like to go if there's a good film out but I dont think I went once in 2012.

We meant to go and see Silver Linings Playbook but never got round to it.

Saw Life Of Pi last night, I enjoyed it but she very distinctly didn't and now I'm in the bad books

 

I want to see LIfe of Pi

 

I think this year my favorite movie was "Zero Dark Thirty" thus far - I also loved Argo, but I have yet to see Lincoln, Le Mis (don't really wanna see this one - can't imagine Russell's Crowe can actually sing), and Silver Linings Playbook (I have a feeling this one may actually be my favorite by the end from the things I've heard about it)

 

The best movie I saw last year was Carnage, from Roman Polanski.

 

My favourite movie of 2012 is 'The Sweeney'. Yeah, I really liked all the blockbusters, too. But this little film was well done for a fraction of the price (I think two million - including promotion)

I think I've only seen Skyfall and Argo. Argo was very nice. Skyfall was bad.

 

I enjoyed Life of Pi, thought provoking to say the least.
But thus far the best to come out of 2012 and possibly the decade thus far is Cloud Atlas.
If you haven't seen it yet I highly recommend it. Just watched for the second time in a week last night and I know I'm going to be watching more than a few times more, and getting something completely new with each viewing.
Yes it is that good and compelling.
