Best of 2012

Tools    





I watched "Spring Breakers" recently to see if it held up and it did:- 10/10 for me. They wanted moment to last forever is all. Coolness transcends skimpy bikinis and bathing in alcohol. How far can they go with Britney's "Everytime" used as hymn for their journey.



You haven't seen Seven Psychopaths?

Probably one of the better comedies in recent years

I have also watched various great arthouse/unconventional narrative films: A woman's revenge, In search of Emak Bakia, 36, Otel·lo, Mi loco Erasmus, Final cut: Ladies and gentlemen, Viola, Caesar must die.
Yeah this is the stuff i'm looking for mostly. All recs are welcome but these are the ones that often go under my radar. Thanks will take a look at those and add some of them.

Think i've seen all the others you recd except Wolf Children will add that too.

A few people i trust that liked In Bruges told me to stay away from this but it has been getting praise here so i'll check it out.

Its not as good as In Bruges but its still pretty fun



Seen them all except Life of Pi; planning on reading the book first but i'll get around to it.
Dude, how can you miss to watch Life of Pi, supposedly the best movie of 2012?

If you can watch it on a BIG screen, do it, and you won't regret.

According to who? Genuinely curious i've not really heard anyone call it the best of 2012.

As i said i own and want to read the book first i'll get to it.

Well, if you want off-piste you could always add two-thirds of Ulrich Seidl's Paradise trilogy (Love and Faith are both 2012 releases if you go by IMDb; Hope is 2013). "Interesting" would be the word I'd use.

According to me, and I was right on this.

Thanks hadn't heard of that. Added Love and Faith and i'll add Hope to the 2013 one when i get round to it.

Think i'm probably done with 2012 for now, already up to 24



I quite liked Killing Them Softly. Matter of fact, it might be time for a second viewing of that movie.
This film was really good. It's time to rewatch.

Flight is my favorite 2012, so obviously I recommend that.

Also recommend The Impossible. Love Naomi Watts in that.

Unconditional, Les Miserables, and The Guilt Trip recommended too.
Have tried to watch Les Miserables twice and turned it off. Flight was superb.




Stories We Tell
Thanks again Mark, going to add this because i've heard good things to take me to 25. Will definitely return to this post when i've got through some of the list.

Mea Maxima Culpa is one of the few Gibney docs i haven't watched, it's mostly the reaction i had to Deliver Us From Evil being brought up Catholic and the horrific nature of the crimes really gets to me. I will at some point though.
