Looking at that list, who else thinks Moonrise Kingdom is Wes Anderson's worst movie? Something about it doesn't click with me as much. Still not an awful movie by any means.
Wow Dredd made it to the top 10. Well deserve. Did not see much movies came out this year tbh, I mostly watched films from the 90s or from the recent years. Maybe I'll drag my ass to the theater and watch the Hobbit tomorrow.
Dredd is so bad, I don't get it.
Amen. I loved Django Unchained as well though, a close second for me.The Master was the best film to come out last year.
Must have been some better things to check out, mxgt!
You could/should have known all of those would be bad.
Elysium - major disappointment after district 9. plus points for jodie fosters ridiculous accent, turned it into a comedy.
The main role was first offered to Watkin Tudor Jones (aka Ninja), a South African rapper, who despite being a fan of District 9 (he has a D9 tattoo on his inner lip) did not take the role. The role was then offered to rapper Eminem, but he wanted the film to be shot in Detroit. That was not an option for the two studios, so Blomkamp moved on to Damon as his next choice.
I thought Damon brought absolutely nothing memorable to the table, such a bland 'performance'.

Better?Even more bland.

He brought a nice vulnerability to action heroes, seeing him get fucked up and keep on going was great. Brought back a little John McClane when other movies wouldn't go for that. Just more believable that he could be a real agent, but also had the stern look for being the dominating force in a scene. Doug Liman and Greengrass did great directing to fit him into the role, while no movie/director could ever sell Renner as an action hero or as decent talent. What a bitch as Hawkeye, what a bitch as a Mission Impossible sidekick, what a bitch as a crook in The Town.
Let see, movies from 2013 that I have seen:
Man of Steel
The Wolverine
Pacific Rim
Gravity
Oblivion
...huh. This is worse than I thought. I've just checked my nearby theater and they are playing Catching Fire, Hobbit, and Frozen. Well, I haven't gone outside for a while, so I guess I will go for a marathon.

Top 10 in 2013 for first time:
1. Floating Clouds
2. Early Summer
3. Last Year at Marienbad
4. A Moment of Innocence
5. Au hasard Balthazar
6. The Searchers
7. Playtime
8. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives
9. Profound Desires of the Gods
10. Utamaro and His Five Women.
I'll have to watch those first two movies promptly because Marienbad is one of my all time favorites.
On another note, I'm not sure which movies are really 2013 movies... what date do you guys go by? I liked To The Wonder, Frances Ha and What Macie Knew but those are 2012 according to IMDb.

Both Floating Clouds and Early Summer are available on Hulu Plus. The former having no DVD release in Region 1 yet. Of the films I listed I think that A Moment of Innocence is the most like Marienbad, though - not for content, but because it is another film that challenges our ideas of filmic conventions, using a story within a story with unclear boundaries all presented as semi-documentary/recreation. But it's also a lot more joyous and cheerful (and easy to follow) than Marienbad was.
Usually IMDB lists the first date the film was available for public viewing, which is often at festivals that could predate the wide release by months or a year even, but all release dates (domestic and international) should be listed further down on the film's page.
Basically the date of the widest release in my country (the US). All of those are 2013.
I love that this cut was an accident. It was originally supposed to be a dissolve but the editor messed it up and did a hard cut instead. It's up there with the bone to spaceship cut in 2001 for best transition of all time.
Thanks for the information, much appreciated, but I'm in Europe so no Hulu Plus for me. Thank the gods for BFI Video, right?
I'll just wait for some lists from you guys and filter out the ones I like![]()
