    Interesting you have Safety Not Guaranteed #1. I saw it, I thought it was "okay," but you and a lot of people think very highly of it. Maybe I need to rewatch it.

    There are still a lot of movies I've been meaning to watch this year but haven't been able to. Hopefully I get to it soon. End Of Watch, Argo, The Imposter, Seven Psychopaths, Killing Them Softly, Looper, Lincoln, Wreck-It Ralph, Django Unchained, The Master, The Man With The Iron Fists, Skyfall, Zero Dark Thirty, Lincoln, and The Perks Of Being A Wallflower. Jesus Christ my wallet hurts just looking at that list.

    No idea. I've seen so many that I can't remember the highlights. Looper and The Raid would probably be on there. I need a huge list of 2012 movies just to remember what I've seen.

    I've only seen Ted so far this year. It was a great movie though. I almost cried when his stuffing got ripped out.

    It's hard to make top 10 when I've seen only 30 movies this year so far and some of them were from 2011.
    But my favorites from 2012 include Moonrise Kingdom, Wild Bill, Safety Not Guaranteed...

    I like your taste in movies...These movies are on my list too :)

    tbh though on another forum KTT, i pointed this out when some guys list had over half of the 10 with The's starting the title. Crazy how many The movies came out this year

    Spoilers man :/

    But nah, it's alright, I already saw a picture that spoiled the ending of the movie for me.

    I like your taste in movies. Sadly to the average movie goer, Moonrise Kingdom and Safety Not Guaranteed will go under the radar, when they are brilliant pieces of work.

    It's just opinions, I could see why someone might not be into it. everyone i've seen enjoyed it, but not everyone will enjoy a movie. It is a bit weird, but it's a bit of a quirky hipster movie (for lack of a better term). I just loved the direction, the story, and everything about it. Plus Aubrey is so hot. My background of my laptop is a slidshow of pictures of her, lol.

    haven't seen argo yet or 21 Jump Street but nice list, Happy that there are others on here who liked Moonrise Kingdom. except the beach scene kind of makes you feel like a pedophile lol. It was brillaintly directed. I also agree with your looking forward too list except The great gatsby (will suck, I only care about it because I like the cast, especially Leo, my favorite actor. But I hated the book so yeah) and The Hobbit (don't stone me, it's because I have never seen the LOTR movies, ok stone me. But seriously I will get around to watching them someday).

    I've only seen 18 movies from this year so far, and one of them was Finding Nemo 3d
