Nominations for best films of 2012

Once I see The Hobbit I'll rank my top 5.

 

That's my plan as well. Need to get the hype down before i rank anything.

 

i know the hobbit won't be on my list, as i can't stomach the LOTR movies, as much as i really, really want to.

but movies like Les Miserables, and Django Unchained make me not able to participate until the end of the year.

Les Miserables looks incredible.

 

I'm in the same boat, Rain. I can't stand the LOTR movies.

 

Yeah there are a decent amount of movies coming up...

The history buff in me is hoping for more love for Lincoln though, thats a powerful movie if you ask me.

 

Yes.


But I know what my top 4 are.


1 Ted
2 The Hobbit
3 The Avengers
4 The Dark Knight Rises

 

This is probably the greatest .gif in existence.

Cabin in the Woods
Para-Norman
DKR
Avengers
Ted

Hon. Mentions:
Looper
Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

 

Ok, here's my toip 5. I'll bump this up on Boxing Day to remind everyone to get their rear in gear.

While I loved all the epics that were named, I also loved alot of other films and I'll nominate those since we all know films like TDKR and Avengers will make it regardless.


#1 Looper
#2 Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
#3 Ted
#4 Moonrise Kingdom
#5 The Raid Redemption

If this was a top ten, I'd also have thrown in the popcorn flicks everyone else is nominating like Avengers, TDKR, Hobbit, Skyfall, and Prometheus.
