My Top 25 of 2013
Here's MY Top 25 for 2013. I have yet to see all the films on my 2013 watchlist - but I've seen most of 'em. I'll add anymore that I see that deserve a spot. IT'S JUST AN OPINION - so don't get bent out of shape about it.
It is a particularly exciting year for me at the movies. My two favorite directors, Wong Kar Wai and Brian De Palma released new movies, and a bunch of sleepers are dominating the list.
A Few months ago - I thought that 2013 might have been a pretty weak year for movies, but now that I've come to the end of the watchlist, it was actually a VERY GOOD year for movies. Seldom do I have so many 9's in my top 25, and seldom do the 8's go nearly to the bottom of the list like this. By the time I'm done there may not be a 7 on the whole list. Amazing.
will edit as I see films that deserve a spot on the list. (last edit was out of NINETY-THREE films viewed from 2013). Will likely/eventually be out of about 110.
Sometimes my top 25 lists(see previous yrs) might include films that imdb says were released the previous yr... but I go by the us dvd or major u.s. theatrical release dates... not festivals etc..
at times it was rough. had to cycle through some rough patches... Spring Breakers... it "looked" good, but what the heck was that about? Pain and Gain... much, mUCH more pain than gain... Rapture Palooza? Take me Away.
here's the Just missed list:26.The East 27.Mental 28.Nebraska 29.Blue Jasmine 30.Only God Forgives 31.The Prey(french)32.Warm Bodies, 33.StarTrek:Into Darkness 34.Maniac, 35.Fruitvale Station, 36.Before Midnight, 37.Disconnect(last of the 7's) Captain Phillips, Redemption, Grandmasters, Rush, Eden, Side Effects, Man of Steel, Gangster Squad, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, Oblivion, Last Vegas, Trance, Dark Skies, Extracted, Hatchet 3, Stoker, Olympus Has Fallen, Red 2(last of the 6's)
I suggest inverting the list.............................................\/
