Your Top 10 Movies of 2013 List


Kyyle23

Recommended Posts

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?

Should be an interesting mix given the types of movie watchers we have here like Caulfield, Qwerty, Milkman, BRIAN

 

If you feel so inclined you can seperate International movies and Domestic.

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

Agree on Blackfish and Sound City. Need to see Act of Killing. Hope it goes up on Netflix soon.

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.

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.

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

Personally, I thought it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

 

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!

OK seriously why was Spring Breakers such a good movie. I even saw the Redeye critic give it a good review.

 

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.
