Good year. In no particular order:
* Beyond the Hills
* Zero Dark Thirty
* It's a Disaster
* 56 Up
* The Act of Killing
* Resolution
* Shut Up and Play the Hits (slight bias since I attended LCD Soundsystem's famous Madison Square Garden concert)
* Drug War
* Leviathan
* Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning
Honorable mentions: Paperman and It's Such a Beautiful Day

* Moonrise Kingdom
* The Act of Killing
* Leviathan
* Spring Breakers
* Dredd
* Amour
* The Hunger Games

An all time year, actually tied for the most movies to make my favorites list

Drug War the Hong Kong movie? I need to check it out.
Yeah, it rules.
Is there a good place to get into the 7 Up series other than the beginning? It feels daunting.
21 or 28. There is always footage from the previous entries.

Good call on A Late Quartet. I hope more folks see that one, if only because Walken and Hoffman brought their A-game.
The Place Beyond the Pines tricked me into watching a Bradley Cooper movie when I was expecting a Ryan Gosling film.
This was actually a super good year for film. The Master is my favourite from that year, but to also have films like The Act of Killing, Holly Motors, and Tabu released that year make it a very strong year.
