What is the best movie of 2012?

Hey, He-Dad, check out the product description for the McRib and tell me you still feel the same way. Not a fan of tripe and heart.

And Dr. Kain, your alluding to "quick and easy" makes me think about the Guillotine.

I maintain my previous statement......and my Grandma's stuffing has scarier ingredients including heart, gizzards, and livers to name a few but is still delicious! Fine dining at it's best!

On a side note, I'ld like to add Craigslist Joe to my list of best movies....was very entertained.

Yep. Still something I, as well as millions of others will continue to eat!

[Heeeere's Olesker!]

I get that. And look, I'm a former Chicago guy and my Kim is a former Nebraska gal, so we don't eat anything that didn't have parents. I suppose it's subjective to a degree. But tripe...?! Jeez. My last post on this matter as I'm going waaaaay off-thread. But I can't resist. As my mother would have said, "Gross!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tripe Mmmmmmm... McRib!

I love the McRib, but don't want to know what it is made of. I learned long ago to NEVER question the food you eat or you won't eat anything that you don't personally grow in your own garden. lol.

Dark Shadows, Revenge of the Fallen, Dark of the Moon and Rise of Cobra were all far superior to TDKR

Uh...

oh...

sorry, I forgot who I was about to respond to.

Is that some kind of insult

I'd have to go with Marvel's The Avengers as the best one, with The Dark Knight Rises & The Amazing Spider-Man tied for second.

End of every year I like to compile a list of my favorite films and ones I'd recommend plus I like to read everyone else's picks as well.

One of those rare years where I could make a top ten I feel good about, usually I make a top 5. Really confident in my top two. Loved Zero Dark Thirty, extremely well put together and acted. The Dark Knight Rises people can pick apart to death, but I loved the story telling, Bane's voice and eye acting, Catwoman, Alfred, Gordon, Blake, Batman's goodbye, all of it. The rest are interchangeable.

Top 10

1. Zero Dark Thirty
2. The Dark Knight Rises
3. Life of Pi
4. Django Unchained
5. Argo
6. The Silver Linings Playbook
7. The Cabin In The Woods
8. Dredd (best action movie of the year)
9. The Avengers (most quotable movie of the year)
10. Skyfall

Recommendations

Contraband
Haywire (only if you love Gina Carano)
Underworld: Awakening (best of the series)
The Grey
Chronicle (surprisingly good superhero film using found footage)
Project X (Chronicle meets Risky business on steroids and ecstasy)
Safe House
Gone (surprisingly good)
John Carter
21 Jump Street (made me a Channing Tatum fan)
ATM
Lockout
Safe (one of the better Statham movies)
The Dictator
Men in Black 3
Mansome
Prometheus
Safety Not Guaranteed
Ted
People Like Us
The Amazing Spiderman
The Bourne Legacy
Premium Rush
Resident Evil: Retribution (if you liked all the others)
End of Watch
Looper
V/H/S
Flight
The Bay
Hitchcock
Killing Them Softly
The Collection (2nd best horror movie of the year)
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (wanted to love it, but it's no LOTR)
Jack Reacher

If I had to choose one, it'd be:

1. Dredd

If I can add few more, they'd be:

2. Dark Knight Rises
3. John Carter
4. Expendables 2
5. Avengers
6. Amazing Spider-Man

Dredd, an exceptional film.
Soooo miserable at it's failure (and no chance of sequels). But, Blu-Ray out in a week so that will compensate a little.

[MrRoboto]

I'll probably be the only one (and so be it!) but Expendables 2 was the best for me. I'm an Action movie fan to the core and seeing these guys together (i don't care if they're old timers LoL) in the one film was cool. The Hobbit & The Avengers are another couple that deserve notable mentions. 2012 wasn't a great year for outings to the cinema. Haven't seen Skyfall yet but will try to get to that one so can't obviously include that for 2012.

Looking forward to some films in 2013 a bit more (hopefully they don't let me down...) such as Jack Reacher, Pain & Gain, GI Joe, Stand Up Guys, Movie 43, World War Z, Man of Steel, The Last Stand, Snitch... Geez that's a fare few! Pretty sure there will be more...

[TheShadow]

The only movies I saw in 2012 were...
Dark Knight Rises
21 Jump Street
Ted
Dark Shadows
Beauty and the Beast (3D)
Rock of Ages
The Raven

And I guess my top pick would be...
21 Jump Street or Ted (since Beauty and the Beast is a re-release).

I continued my dislike of the Nolan Batman films, though TDKR was the best out of the three.
