I did the same thing for 2011, and while this list comes a little early I think it is safe to say that I will not watch another film this year. My parents are going to be visiting in just a few days and stay until the end of the year. So, onto the ranking of films of 2011 and 2012 which were viewed in 2012:
1. Moonrise Kingdom *
2. Looper *
3. The Hobbit *
4. The Big Year
5. Skyfall *
6. The Artist
7. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo *
8. The Dark Knight Rises *
9. The day he arrives
10. Weekend
11. Kokuriko-zaka kara
12. Oslo, August 31st
13. My week with Marilyn
14. Cloud Atlas *
15. God Bless America
16. Rango
17. What women want (2011)
18. L’Apollonide
19. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
20. Drive
21. Larry Crowne
I have not seen as many films in 2012 than in 2011 (only 107 as opposed to 163 from 2011), and that also applies to the most recent films. However, I did go to the movie theater more often than before (see the films with an asterisk) and wonder if seeing a movie in theaters makes me want to rank it higher. Also, I have a tendency to see films from 2009 or 2010 instead of the “really” recent ones. “Never let me go” is a perfect example of that – I really liked that one.
I love year-end lists! (Random side note: I am also browsing some music blogs for their year-end lists and I always discover so much!)
There are some surprises (Skyfall so high? Drive so low?). As I have seen only 6 of 21, this gives me a good view on what to watch next.
Yeah I have an irrational thing for Skyfall; I don’t know why XD But Drive is just really bad! Whcih 6 movies have you actually seen?
Music huh… I have started listening to Pandora but I don’t like it enough, it seems like I have finally grown out of the music thing and all I am listening to is kpop and the stuff I used to listen to as a little child – mostly classical music.
