Vote For Your Favourite Movie of 2012

[Vivek]

Vote for your favourite movie of 2012 and list it among your top 5 or top 10 movies. Choose one movie from the above poll to cast your vote.

Movies in the poll are listed in release date order and we have listed way too many of them (65 to be precise) just to act as a refresher for some of the major movies released during the entire year, but there are many more studio and independent films missing from the list.

There is also another thread posted (little early back in November) discussing favourite movies of 2012.

My Top Favourite Movies of 2012
I managed to watch only about 24 movies of 2012 and I saw 18 of them in the theatres. Lincoln, Zero Dark Thirty and Django Unchained are yet to be released in India and I've yet to watch Dredd.

The Avengers remains my #1 favourite movie of the year. It was entertaining and the most fun I had at the theatres in 2012. And even after watching it four times at the theatres, for me the movie still holds up.

1. The Avengers
2. Looper
3. Moonrise Kingdom
4. Argo
5. Life of Pi

Honorable Mention (in release date order): The Raid: Redemption, The Cabin in the Woods, End of Watch, Cloud Atlas, Skyfall, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

This list just shows me how many films I haven't seen this year (although there's a number on there I don't want to see)
For me it came down to Brave and The Hobbit, with Brave nearly winning due to The Hobbit being a little long and me having a VERY full bladder by the end.

Honourable mention to John Carter. I liked it, even if Disney didn't. In fact it made me want to go read the books.

 

[YenChih Lin]

Oh Man! I can't vote since,I haven't seen The Hobbit yet and Madagascar 3 is terrific…

 

[Michael Bergeron]

Of the ones I saw Skyfall was heads & shoulders above the rest. Only one that got multiple viewings out of me.

Samesies! I did like Looper quite a bit though.

 

[Lost21stJedi]

I voted Avengers. Out of the movies I saw this year, this is the only one I bought on Blu Ray

 

[EyeofSauron]

avengers is my choice too. i have to admit i havent seen all of the movies from the later months, as they arent released here yet. so im missing some i want to see desperately.

 

[BlobVanDam]

The only film I've seen from that list is Skyfall, and hopefully I'll be seeing The Hobbit this week sometime, so I should probably abstain from voting, at least for now.

I voted others.

Snow White and the Huntsman.

Sorry, I loved it best this year :lol !

It's number 15 in the overall top grossing, more than many others mentioned in this poll :lol, so I'm not alone either :lol

I picked the DKR even though I'm aware it had its faults. Avengers I just found boring until the last 45 mins. Snow white and the huntsman would of been my second film ever I would of walked out of had my wife not wanted to watch it all. (The first was spiderman 3).

 

[Jeyl]

Avengers. It's not only an all around great movie to watch, but the way the studios handled it is, dare I say it, inspiring. They let Joss Whedon, a man who's only directed one film up to this point (which sadly bombed) have the reigns to the biggest film Marvel has produced yet. And it actually worked! Take THAT Paramount for thinking they could just throw Stuart Baird in Star Trek Nemesis and assume it will be an instant hit. We got folks who actually give a crap about the source material.

Fair enough . My bad, I can't believe I forgot to include it in the poll. I have now included that in the thread list.

You didn't have to !

I doubt anyone else will vote for it anyway :lol

Humbug.

I'm in touch with my feminine side & you're just jealous :sleep.

[crabra comander]

Who voted for Sound of My Voice and why?

 

[Vivek]

Who voted for Sound of My Voice and why?

Nobody voted for it, maybe you noticed the votes below it for The Avengers.

For a very low budget independent film I thought Sound of My Voice was quite a engaging film with few good tense moments as well.

 

[The Mad Professor]

As much as I loved The Avengers, Cabin in the Woods was a wonderful subversion of the horror movie genre. It was Joss Whedon at his absolute best: writing a hip, self-referential horror flick.

Possibly my favorite scene:
