I've only seen 3 movies (will see Hobbit next week sometime) but I'd rate them

Gravity
Pacific Rim

a punch in the junk

Man of Steel

Really enjoyed Before Midnight, Fast and Furious 6, and Gravity. So far, at least. Missed a bunch I expect to like, and there's still some good stuff this month.

seriously, though, Last Vegas or Grudge Match are the best movies this year. Robert De Niro is finally coming into his own as an actor.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #3 on:** December 11, 2013, 01:56:51 PM »

Oblivion
Pacific Rift

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #4 on:** December 11, 2013, 02:36:20 PM »

F&F6 and Gravity are the two I enjoyed most, but looking at my Letterboxd, I've missed a ton (particularly Pacific Rim, apparently).

Robo · « **Reply #5 on:** December 11, 2013, 02:46:29 PM »

I've missed a bunch, and there a lot of movies coming out in the next few weeks, but I've enjoyed these the most of the others I've seen this year:

Dallas Buyers Club
Gravity
12 Years a Slave
Star Trek Into Darkness

Sorta enjoyed Spring Breakers, This Is the End, Man of Steel and World's End.

Fast 6 was butt mud.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #6 on:** December 11, 2013, 03:08:20 PM »

Gravity
Worlds End
Inside Llewyn Davis

Uh

Couple documentaries were good too. Muscle Shoals and Inequality for All.

The World's End

Haven't seen anything not dumb and violent and I had fun to varying degrees with Star Trek, Pacific Rim, Man of Steel, and Wolverine. But with The World's End I was able to enjoy the movie wholly without grading on the summer movie curve.

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #8 on:** December 11, 2013, 03:19:09 PM »

I didn't watch anything this year but mainstream tat, so obviously Gravity was at the top of that lot.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #9 on:** December 11, 2013, 03:20:15 PM »

Before Midnight
No
The Act of Killing
Much Ado About Nothing
12 Years a Slave
Philomena
Dallas Buyers Club
Gravity
Frances Ha

Favorite dumb movie of the year:
Pacific Rim

I'm actually surprised I managed to see as many films as I did in the theater this year. Used to go every Friday, but not any more with Lil' Gundam...

Eric P · « **Reply #10 on:** December 11, 2013, 03:45:09 PM »

I missed all of the big run films. Most of my movie going experiences were to Chinese / Korean first run theaters showing in Times Square or to retrospectives at MoMA and Lincoln Center. Most of my first run mainstream stuff will wait until Blu Ray or Netflix or something similar because the cost is ridiculous here.

I did the math and my discount and free films basically paid for my membership to Lincoln Center, so I'll definitely be doing that for this coming year. I may also do the same for Anthology Film Archives who had a ton of great weird stuff this year.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #11 on:** December 11, 2013, 04:15:29 PM »

Ah, shit. While I haven't seen The World's End yet, I *did* see This is the End after it released on dvd and thought it was funny as fuck. Easily Channing Tatum's best performance to date.

You should all do yourself a favor and watch You're Next.

I'm waiting for a decent rip to get released but nothing so far.

World's End was ok, but a let down for me after Shaun and Hot Fuzz.

Steve Contra · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2013, 04:45:38 PM »

Pacific Rim? I saw like 3 movies this year, and only one in a theater.

12 years a slave is the only movie this year worth a shit. Bad year for movies.

edit: Europa report was pretty good too.

Verdigris Murder · « **Reply #30 on:** December 13, 2013, 05:09:28 PM »

My fave film of this year: my fave scene from my fave film of this year:

There's a brief moment when the director plays a brief moment, almost snatched, from one of many aspic(thought aspic) moments.

Aspic is worth knowing about, as we are just space aspic. Our aspirations, and normality suspended, to preserve the core idea. Which is either lamb shank, or The Business.

I feel like I've seen many movies this year but only a few were etched in my mind. So with that as a criteria my top 3 picks for this year are:
1. 12 years a slave
2. Prisoners
3. Wadjda

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #39 on:** December 16, 2013, 12:20:32 AM »

Am I supposed to know its source material or something? Other than some cool effects and Idras Elba, it was entirely forgettable, as is all of del Toro's flicks are.

TakingBackSunday · « **Reply #40 on:** December 16, 2013, 12:22:20 AM »

oh oh also, I need to mention A Hijacking even though it was a 2012 film. I think it got a release in the US on 2013 only...it was phenomenal

What makes this so fitting is that the derpy guy kinda looks like BrandNew.

PacRim honestly wasn't that amazing, but it was a good movie. Good pacing, humor, music, action, characters, acting (aside from Mariko who was absolutely horrible.) Saw it twice in IMAX 3D. I stand up for it because it's one of the few completely original action-blockbusters.

chronovore · « **Reply #43 on:** December 16, 2013, 12:47:05 AM »

Eh, Pacific Rim was a lot of fun. It's anime and monster movies in a slick presentation. It has no love story, so bonus points for that. Del Toro gave us yet another fantastic marketplace scene. BrandNew doesn't know how to have fun.

Intellectual Property-wise, I mean. Same reason I give Oblivion props. Obviously it borrows tons from other mecha and kaiju media.

Yeti · « **Reply #46 on:** December 16, 2013, 01:21:45 AM »

Pacific Rim delivered on it's promise of giant robots fighting giant monsters. How much you liked the movie depends on how much you like those two things.
