The Master Close 2nd- Django Unchained
Score: 1
Django unchained
Score: 2
Hmm... probably Django, just in terms of pure enjoyment. I also really liked Moonrise Kingdom, Zero Dark Thirty, The Avengers (kind of dumb but really fun), Lincoln, The Loneliest Planet, and Jiro Dreams of Sushi.I have yet to see The Master though. Having just finished a great book on Scientology this afternoon, I'm even more interested in it now.

Cloud AtlasDon't buy the negative spin. It's a puzzle you have to put together.

It's more about cult mentality, but the film has arguably the 2 best performances this year. It's a hypnotic fever dream of a film that makes you feel you were drugged once it's over.

I've always planned on seeing it since I've liked or loved everything PTA has done to date, but the subject of religion, cults, and scientology has been on my mind a lot over the past week or so.Hmm... probably Django, just in terms of pure enjoyment.

Also if you dig that dirty sleazy sort of material, the show Shameless on show time is great.The Masteryou and i have very similar tastes in movies my friend.

Django Unchained by far. I never go see movies in theaters and I saw it twice in theaters

Les Mis was up there. Yup. I said it. That musical f***ing rocked. I also liked Moonrise Kingdom, Silver Linings Playbook and Dark Knight Rises. Still haven't seen Django Unchained.

hobbit, hands down.saw it 3 times already.
Score: 2
@frump said: hobbit, hands down.I was a little disappointed. I felt it didn't have the charm of the LoTR trilogy. I also feel Jackson brought things into it that were NOT in the book....spoiler(nothing major but still a spoiler) alert below!
saw it 3 times already.
Why oh why did Jackson bring orcs into the equation. There is no group of Orcs chasing after the Dwarves. It really really irked me that that was introduced into the movie. I felt it ruined the scene when they escape from the goblin mountain only to stumble upon the Wolf/Warg meeting ground.
I'm going to have to see it again, but I just didn't enjoy it as much as I enjoyed the LoTR films.

I only saw Argo and Flight, and though both were great I thought Argo was better all-around. Denzel's performance is Flight was pretty incredible, though.

@frump said: hobbit, hands down.Yeah, I'm with @dyn0mite on this one. I didn't think it was very good. Way too action-movie-ish and it didn't fit the tone of the book at all, which is much more whimsical and childlike than the LOTR trilogy. Every little tiny skirmish or chase in the book was turned into some epic ten minute battle.
saw it 3 times already.
It was like Jackson wanted to do another LOTR and was willing to throw away the source material whenever it was convenient in order to do so. (Plus the whole breaking it up into three movies thing is also lame in the extreme, but that's a different issue.) I will say that the scene where Frodo gets the ring from Gollum was great though; straight out of the book and well acted. But I thought the rest of the movie was just way off tonally and too long.

Really really really liked cloud atlas!Django was great too.
Score: 1
I try to see all the best movies of the year and here's what I have concluded to be a part of my personal favorites: The Master (The title speaks for itself)
Django Unchained (QT at his best)
Cloud Atlas (Beautiful and Complicated)
Moonrise Kingdom (Visually stunning and quirky as hell)
Looper (Smart and interesting cinematography)
Killing Them Softly (A new blend of gangster films and comedy)
Silver Linings Playbook (Surprisingly great)
Killer Joe (Weird and awesome)
Skyfall (Best Bond Ever)
Score: 1
I only saw one film in 2012; Moonrise Kingdom. I was really disappointed.

I thought The Hobbit was freakin' awesome! I never read the book, so I didn't have the book/movie comparison influencing my opinion. I don't know if I would rate as well as FOTR, but Freeman was definitely a much more likeable hobbit than Wood.

The Master was by far the most intriguing movie I saw.
Score: 0
1. The Master2. Django Unchained
3. Argo
4. Zero Dark Thirty
5. Moonrise Kingdom
I saw Lincoln and just didn't like it. I felt it was long and boring and not that great of a performance. I feel it is getting so much hype because of the Spielberg-Day Lewis combo and should be great but just comes up short.
Killing Them Softly was decent but I felt it was too heavy-handed with the recession talk (the long clips of speeches on televisions and radios) and it smothered what would have been a good movie.
