They tally various end of year polls/lists to create a sort of master list for the films in each given year. Pretty neat.

 

[Evil Rabbit]

1. Gravity
2. Wolf of Wall Street
3. Rush
4. Spring Breakers
5. Blackfish

4. The Hobbit
5. Star Trek Into Darkness

A superhero movie didn't win last year.

 

[b&jy77VjiKn$#F]

A superhero movie didn't win last year.

I think what he/she meant is no superhero movie in the top 10.

1. Iron Man 3
2. Star Trek: Into Darkness

[BertramCooper]

I've got about 4-5 movies left to see before I'd feel comfortable making a list.

I should knock a few of them off this weekend.

 

[Borgnine]

Ok so is Mud 2012 or 2013? I need a ruling.

 

[Ridley327]

Ok so is Mud 2012 or 2013? I need a ruling.

I go by the year a film is in general release in the US, which is why Maniac and The Battery are on my list. Most people don't even realize that Frances Ha is also a 2012 film, too, and that's shown up quite a bit.

 

[EvaristeG]

Ok so is Mud 2012 or 2013? I need a ruling.

2013 in my country. Don't give a shit about US.

 

[Teptom]

I still have a ton of movies to watch before I make a list.

If I wanted to see 12 Years a Slave before voting ends, I'm pretty much screwed, right?

 

[Blader]

Ok so is Mud 2012 or 2013? I need a ruling.

I only ever go by actual theatrical runs and disregard festivals myself, in which case Mud is 2013.

A quick look at IMDB says that the only 2012 screenings Mud even had were at Cannes and another French festival.

 

[Linius]

Damn, both Her and 12 Years a Slave are being released after the voting ends. That's rough

About Mud, the movie got its wide release in the US in 2013. So even in the US it's a 2013 movie.

 

[Ridley327]

I still have a ton of movies to watch before I make a list.

If I wanted to see 12 Years a Slave before voting ends, I'm pretty much screwed, right?

Actually, I would think that it's going to be a nice boost in screens next weekend, to capitalize on the Oscar hype.

 

[Expendable.]

Yeah, Mud is definitely 2013. The first time it was released in theaters for the public to see.

With shouts to Inside Llewyn Davis, Philomena, Don Jon, Kings of Summer, The Spectacular Now, Escape Plan, In a World, American Hustle, Bad Grandpa, All is Lost, Captain Phillips, Rush, Prisoners, Act of Killing, Computer Chess, The World's End/This is the End, Iron Man 3, Fast and Furious 6, The Hobbit: DoS, August: Osage County, Dallas Buyers Club, The Conjuring/Insidious 2, Spring Breakers, Frozen, Pacific Rim, The Place Beyond the Pines, Blackfish, Tim's Vermeer, Saving Mr. Banks, Let the Fire Burn, THG: Catching Fire and a whole bunch of other great movies I'm forgetting.

And a big fuck you to

5. The Great Gatsby
6. Oblivion
7. Man of Steel

for all being absolutely terrrrrrrrrible.

Biggest disappointments are easily Anchorman 2 and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.

All in all, 2013 was a wonderful fucking year. Hope 2014 keeps it up!

 

[Teptom]

Ah, that's right. I hope I'll be able to catch it then.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Ok so is Mud 2012 or 2013? I need a ruling.

You can add a movie if it was released in your country within the year.

I usually go for the year of release mentioned on IMDB, but there are exceptions.

 

[Borgnine]

All right I'm going Mud 2013. It's just that actual critics all have it on last years list.

 

[Linius]

All right I'm going Mud 2013. It's just that actual critics all have it on last years list.

Yeah, these guys visit all the festivals like Cannes and Sundance so they probably see a lot of screenings of movies long before the big crowd can see them. The Place Beyond the Pines had a similar release story.

 

[smokeandmirrors]

1. Her
2. Gravity
3. American Hustle
4. The Wolf of Wall Street

4. Monsters University
5. Jack The Giant Slayer
6. Rush
7. Kickass 2
8. Star Trek Into Darkness
9. Thor 2
10. Oblivion

 

[t-ramp]

I haven't even seen any of the Best Picture nominees, so my list seems somewhat lacking. Here's where it's at now, though.

1. The World's End
2. Evil Dead
3. The Place Beyond the Pines
4. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
5. Pain & Gain
6. Star Trek Into Darkness
7. Trance
8. Spring Breakers
9. This Is the End
10. Side Effects

 

[Commodore]

1. About Time
2. Short Term 12
3. Gravity
4. 12 Years a Slave
5. Before Midnight
6. Pacific Rim
7. Her
8. Captain Phillips
9. The World's End
10. Saving Mr. Banks

Still need to see Inside Llewyn Davis, but I think its mostly settled. The top spot was a complete come out of nowhere shot in the heart for me. It's really nothing that you assume it is. Go in blind, and you'll somehow find exactly what you're looking for.

 

[Rhomega Beta]

1. Gravity
2. 42
3. The Croods
4. Star Trek Into Darkness
5. Thor: The Dark World
6. Iron Man 3
7. Despicable Me 2
8. Oblivion
9. Pacific Rim
10. Monsters University

 

[WadiumArcadium]

Coincidentally I watched ten films in 2013 but I would have liked to have seen more.

1) Gravity
2) The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
3) Django Unchained (It came out in January 2013 here in the UK - seems like bloody ages ago.)
4) Iron Man 3
5) Pacific Rim
6) Star Trek Into Darkness
7) The World's End
8) Man of Steel
9) Kick-Ass 2
10) Oblivion (It probably wouldn't be here if I'd seen more but visually it was excellent.)

I missed out on Captain Phillips and Thor 2. Hopefully I'll catch 12 Years A Slave and The Wolf of Wall Street at some point.

 

[Kadayi]

1. 12 years a slave
2. Gravity
3. Her
