Top 10 Films Of 2012 (ALL 10/10):
In 2012, by the end of the year, I will have been to 120 cinema screenings. This is made up of 54 films that were originally released before 2012, 57 new films (including 21 foreign language & 9 documentaries) and some repeat screenings.
This top 10 was relatively easy to come up with. I considered all new films that I had regarded as '10/10', of which there were thirteen, decided which three to leave off ('10/10' Films to not make the top 10: Skyfall, Anna Karenina & Magic Trip), and then considered the ordering of the top 10. In 2011 there were only seven films I considered to be'10/10', so had to fill out a top ten with some that were just very good. For a considerable period of time I did not expect 2012 to equal or surpass 2011 for quality films, though I am pleased to have been wrong.
