Alright folks, we're winding down on 2013, and we do this every year. I've still yet to see a ton of 2013 stuff, but here's my list thus far:
1.) Pacific Rim
2.) The World's End
3.) Pain & Gain
4.) Man of Steel
5.) Maniac
6.) Evil Dead
7.) The Wolverine
8.) Mud
9.) Don Jon
10.) Only God Forgives
7 and up are probably mostly safe, unless some of the films I haven't seen REALLY strike a chord with me.
Honorable Mentions: Warm Bodies, John Dies at the End, The Way Way Back, Elysium, Side Effects, Curse of Chucky, Hunger Games: Catching Fire, Iron Man 3.
Need to See (Bolded are highly anticipated by me):
Hatchet 3
Despicable Me 2
The Spectacular Now
You're Next
Riddick
Gravity
Machete Kills
12 Years a Slave
Carrie
Ender's Game
American Hustle
Wolf of Wall Street
Thor 2
Escape from Tomorrow
Ultimately a pretty tough list for me to come up with...there were really only 3 films this year that I absolutely LOVED (my top 3 selections), and then after that, a lot of my stuff on the honorable mentions could occupy any slot on my list and I'd be mostly satisfied.
Not a spectacular year for movies, in that there aren't a lot of movies on my list that I feel compelled to own, but a really solid year for movies in that there were legitimately 18 films that I liked, and when I run down the list of movies I've seen this year, the number of movies I liked FAR exceeds that of movies I didn't like (RIPD, A Good Day to Die Hard, The Bling Ring, After Earth, Spring Breakers, Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Jack the Giant Slayer, Lords of Salem, Gangster Squad, Oz the Great and Powerful, 21 and Over).
