Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful holiday/solstice/new year. Props by the way for surviving the Mayan Apocalypse! And seeing as we are all a bunch of Grade-A survivors, who better than us to decide which films of 2012 were the bestest?
Now we're well aware that the number of 2012 releases you've seen is likely to be somewhat limited. We get that times are tough and nobody here has a benevolent parent company behind them to set up free and advanced screenings or provide them with screener DVDs. For this reason we are only requesting of you a Top-5 list. As per usual, these lists will be polled together to generate a master list of 2012's best films. No greater emphasis is placed on your #1 choice vs. your #5 choice, so don't sweat that stuff. This is all just about which films show up on the most lists.
The deadline to submit your list is January 13th at 10pm PST, so there is still time to check out a few more movies at your local cinema or on Netflix Instant. You can submit your list either as a comment on this post or you can message us via our Facebook. Results will be posted on Friday January 18th. We can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Happy listing!
Woo! Movie homework is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteWeekend directed by Andrew Haigh*
ReplyDeleteSkyfall directed by Sam Mendes
The Cabin in the Woods directed by Drew Goddard
Moonrise Kingdom directed by Wes Anderson
And I'm stuck choosing between Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and The Artist (both released here in 2012) for the 5th spot!
Oh, and I'd say an honourable mention goes to My Week With Marilyn (released here in 2012, once again we had to wait) for Williams' performance.
*Released in Australia in 2012.
(They're all very predictable choices haha)
