    I mean trout I seen quite a few movies this year but a lot of the ones that were maybe excellent films I have yet to watch so there's my list of trout that was enjoyable at least

    if you flame me i'll kill you
    Good list! I totally forgot about Chronicle, that was a great film...
    Think mine would be

    Avengers
    Skyfall
    Hunger Games
    Chronicle
    Prometheus

    (Don't think I saw a good movie for 5th, Silent Hill sucked.)
    I'm going to see that new Dreamworks one, maybe that can go on

    Scratch that, I saw both Prometheus and Spiderman, totally forgot about those. I know Prometheus kind of tanked, but I enjoyed it, and of the films I got to see this year it's up there

    There are so many movies coming out this month and the beginning of December. Most of them will most likely be the Oscar nominated ones (hint: Lincoln, The Hobbit...), so I will hold off on my list. Zero Dark Thirty—Kathryn Bigelow's new film—is coming out soon.

    While I like every movie I've seen this year thus far apart from Breaking Dawn Part 1 (okay it came out 2011 but I refuse to watch this in a theater) and Snow White, I honestly don't think wow to any of them with exception of Prometheus. I really liked Syfall as well, but I was sipping champagne while watching it, so I have a feeling that had a lot to do with it.

    Also, I have yet to see The Dark Knight Rises and I really want to even though my gut tells me that this last installment is going to fit into the super hero trilogy curse where the third is just bad in comparison to the other two.

    I watched 21 Jump Street last night, it was awesome. Probably not good enough to be in my top 5, but.. actually yeah, change it for Prometheus, it was so good!

    1. Marvel's Avengers
    2. The Dark Knight Rises
    3. Probably Skyfall (haven't seen it yet)
    4. The Hunger Games
    5. Ted (possibly soon to be replaced by Wreck It Ralph)

    I'm sure once I see The Hobbit it will go up there at least at number 4 but maybe higher.

    1. The Odd Life of Timothy Green
    2. Brave
    3. Hunger Games
    4. The Five-Year Engagement

    I plan on seeing Life of Pi, Wreck-It Ralph, The Hobbit, and Les Miserables before the end of the year. I don't go to the movies often, because it's exy.

    Since it seems I won't be able to see The Hobbit/Zero Dark Thirty double feature free screening ;___; here's my list - in no particular order:

    1. Avengers
    2. Lincoln
    3. Sinister
    4. Prometheus
    5. Brave -- while Wreck-it-Ralph, ParaNorman, and Rise of the Guardians was funnier and more enjoyable this was better written. Still not as good as other Pixar films, but they are still the kings of storytelling and whole mother daughter thing got me man, it got me. If I were to go overall and say what animated film is probably going to win this year and deserve ultimately Rise of the Guardians will probably take the cake. Wreck it Ralph was a very original story so it's hard to say on who really is going to get this as they're all really good, but not Up good so neither of them are good enough for Best Picture, but at least they'll get their noms for Best Animated.


    (Also have still yet to see Dark Knight Rises and will be seeing The Hunger Games in like two days)

    I forgot I haven't seen Ted and Seven Psychopaths either, but I've been wanting to so bad. I tried watching Spiderman, but it bored me to tears. When does it get good? Because the first 30 minutes are so are brutal.

    1. Lincoln
    2. The Avengers
    3. The Hunger Games

    I can't say anything else I've seen deserves to be on this list, although I still haven't seen Looper or Skyfall.

    I recently saw the new Spiderman movie, Cabin in the Woods, The Dark Knight Rises, and Ted, but I liked Spiderman more. It's definitely one of my favorite films of the year.

    Still on my list to see eventually: Seven Psychopaths, The Hunger Games (I will seeing this in a few days when it premieres on EPIX), Impossible, and Beasts of the Southern Wild.

    Zero Dark Thirty and Argo I heard were amazing. I MUST SEE THESE.

    I have zero interest in seeing The Master as it looks extremely prententious and Daniel Day Lewis isn't in it.
