1. Gravity
2. Man of Steel
3. Captain Phillips
4. Thor 2
5. Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
6. The Croods
7. Hangover Part 3
8. Frozen
9. The Great Gatsby
10. The Way Way Back
11. Now You See Me

Well, from what I have watched I think that I need to watch a lot more before compiling a top 10, however I can already say that Gravity, 12 Years a Slave and The Garden of Words will be in my top 10 for 2013.

I guess this would be your list of 2013 movies you have watched as of now from best to worst?

Yeah that's all I've seen so far. I usually use January and February to mainly watch 2013 films.

Yeah. I have watched about the same number of 2013 movies. So I think that in about 6 months I will have a decent top 10 for 2013.

I would expect Her, Wolf of Wall Street and American Hustle on my top 10 when I get to seeing them.

At this moment in time:



----------------------------------------------
1. Gravity
2. The Great Beauty
3. Escape from Tomorrow
4. Side Effects
5. Before Midnight
6. The World’s End
7. The Spectacular Now
8. The Way Way Back
9. The Counselor
10. The Great Gatsby
----------------------------------------------

Still have to see a whole bunch of seemingly great 2013 movies from some of my favorite directors that haven't come out here yet, though, so this list will probably change a lot during the next two or three months.

I will keep you updated!

Why?

Had to update my list after I saw Frozen. Saw it twice in the theater, same with Wolf of Wall Street.

Okay, I also saw the new Hobbit movie twice in theaters, but I saw that cuz my care was in the shop getting new shocks and tire alignment. A movie theater is right next door to the shop, and I figured a three hour movie would be a good idea to pass time. So that was more out of a time waster and not because I really wanted to see it again.

1. The Wolf of Wall Street
2. Frozen
3. Prisoners
4. Gravity
5. Thor 2: The Dark World
6. The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug
7. Escape Plan
8. Don Jon
9. Pacific Rim
10. Iron Man 3

AKA you have seen about everything

Sexy's Top 10 of 2013 (if he has 10 movies):

1. Dallas Buyers Club
2. The Place Beyond The Pines
3. This Is The End
4. Prisoners
5. Behind the Candelabra
6. Bullet to the Head
7. The Great Gatsby
   
8. Curse of Chucky
9. Sharknado
10. Texas Chainsaw
    

I think that's all I've seen that I could reasonably put on the list.

Two Bad Movies of 2013:

1. A Good Day to Die Hard
2. Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa

And a bunch of stuff I still either need to see or need to feel interested in seeing, if it happens. All depends on Great Spirit's wishes for me.

I didn't count Frances Ha as a 2013 film, because I'm going by the IMDb standards. It would be 7th on my list if I did count it (it's fifth on my 2012 list).

Use whatever criteria you see fit, but the IMDb is a tool, not the gospel. It premiered at the Telluride, Toronto, and New York Film Festivals at the end of 2012, but it was released in cinemas and for Academy Awards qualification in 2013.

HERE are the 289 films eligible for the Academy Awards that played in 2013.

Those MoFos who live elsewhere around the globe, other than the United States, may not have access to many of these films for months, yet.


Use whatever criteria you want. But Frances Ha is a 2013 film except for the six or seven hundred people and critics who saw it at those festivals in 2012, no matter what the IMDb has it listed as.

I agree. It's just that I use it as a catalogue for keeping track of the films that I saw. I simply categorize everything by the standards of that site. That's why I have it on my 2012 list.

I can't give noms this year... I didn't see enough newly released movies.

Oh, Curse of Chucky -- I saw that one. I have eight, then.

Oh, wait, I have nine -- Behind the Candelabra.

God, if only I could think of a 10th movie.

Gravity was the only film that met or exceeded expectations.

Star Trek was decent.

Everyone else ranged from meh to major disappointment as far as big movies went.

Really enjoyed the UK documentary "Class of 92" that I watched yesterday.

Of course there's loads I haven't seen.
