The Best Films Of 2012: THE RESULTS!

Well the results are in! And though We were only collecting Top-5 lists from people, a tie for 5th place left us with a total of 6 films which is kind of an odd number. Seeing as there were also two-way ties for 6th  and 7th place, We made an executive decision and turned this into a Top-10 list! Forget The Academy, this is where the real good stuff is.Also - please feel free to peruse the ballots of all the wonderful people who submitted lists to us. All hypertext titles will take you to This Cinematic Life reviews of the films in question. If a contributor's name is in hypertext, give it a click and check out the cool stuff that they are up to.

Thank you all so much for participating and be prepared 'cause we've got another cool list idea percolating for the months ahead! And now without further ado...
