Favorite Films of 2012

Having seen Zero Dark Thirty this weekend, I'm ready to post my favorite films of 2012. I don't feel qualified to say which films are "best", it's a very subjective term. No one can argue with me on my favorites, because they are mine. Going through all of the films I saw released in 2012 I came up with 30 I really enjoyed. From there, I found my way to the conventional number of 10. I'm going to list them in alphabetical order because I liked them all equally. Click on the titles to see what I thought.

Argo ~ A thriller based in a true story. The editing in this film is outstanding.

Cabin in the Woods ~ A crazy horror story that was a ride I was happy to take.

Django Unchained ~ A love story based in pre-civil war south wrapped in a bloody ride.

The Intouchables ~ A story of friendship and comment on how you live your life.

Magic Mike ~ A stripper wants more. This story is elevated by it's acting and sincerity of its characters.

Moonrise Kingdom ~ A sweet story of young love. Filmed in RI, this one has a special place in my heart. Someone called it a lovely jewel box. So true.

Ruby Sparks ~ A creative spin on the crazy girlfriend story.

Seven Psychopaths ~ A roadtrip extraordinaire

Skyfall ~ A wonderful addition to the Bond franchise

Sleepwalk With Me ~ A true story that made me smile.

The other 20? The Master, Zero Dark Thirty, Frankenweenie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Cloud Atlas, Robot & Frank, The Sessions, Lincoln, Silver Linings Playbook, Flight, Killer Joe, Chronicle, Hunger Games, Sound of My Voice , The Avengers, Ted, The Dark Knight Rises, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Lawless and Looper. All solid films and worth a look. On to 2013!
