"What's YOUR favorite films of 2013?" Tue Dec-03-13 05:48 PM by bwood
Since some of us are handing in ballots for our retrospective guilds and associations, I ask what are your faves of 2013? I know most of you won't be able to make this list until maybe January 14th the latest, but I'd figure why not start now.
1. 12 Years a Slave 2. Gravity 3. Fruitvale Station 4. Her 5. Omar 6. The Wolf of Wall Street 7. American Hustle 8. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty 9. Short Term 12 10. Blue is the Warmest Color 11. Frances Ha 12. Prisoners 13. Spring Breakers 14. Captain Philips 15. Mud
My brain is fucking mush right now so this may or may not change.
2. Spring Breakers 3. The Act of Killing 4. The Spectacular Now 5. Frances Ha 6. Short Term 12 7. Pain & Gain 8. Mud 9. Fruitvale Station 10. Gravity / Like Someone in Love / Blackfish / In a World...(cheating badly)
missed Blue is the Warmest Color in theaters unfortunately
Will be updating this. Plan on watching Prisoners and Act of Killing soon.
1. 12 Years a Slave 2. Gravity 3. Furious 6 4. This is the End 5. Side Effects 6. Mud 7. Short Term 12 8. The Spectacular Now 9. We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks
1. 12 Years a Slave 2. Gravity 3. Nebraska 4. Furious 6 5. This is the End 6. Side Effects 7. Mud 8. Short Term 12 9. The Spectacular Now 10. We Steal Secrets: The Story of Wikileaks
Not surprisingly, Red 2 didn't make the cut. Somewhat surprisingly Inside Llewyn Davis and Prisoners will likely struggle to stay in my top 20.

There's still a dozen or so more I need to catch, so it's possible half (or more) of this list could change.

16. "1. Prisoners, 2. Despicable Me 2" In response to Reply # 0
those got my highest marks (technically tied). i saw a lot of mainstream fare on the big screen this year and some of the smaller movies either there or on video. two of my favorite movies of last year i saw at the end of december or at the beginning of this year (zero dark thirty and django unchained), so i wouldn't rule out something beating either of those next year when i see them. of what i saw, there were a bunch of good, solidly entertaining movies but not many standouts that at least i personally will be recalling and wanting to see again for years to come.
