#19. The Amazing Spider-Man

412 Points | Votes: 50 | Peak: 1 (1 Time)

Directed by Marc Webb
Starring: Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone, Rhys Ifans

Rotten Tomatoes: 73% | iMDb: 7.2 | Watch Trailer

"A well-chosen cast and sure-handed direction allow The Amazing Spider-Man to thrill,
despite revisiting many of the same plot points from 2002's Spider-Man." - RottenTomatoes

The Amazing Spider-Man was right on the edge of top 20 for me. I really liked Garfield's take on Spidey, and really liked the movie at first. But ater repeat viewings, the Lizard as the villain really brings it down for me.

1. The Dark Knight Rises
2. Life of Pi
3. The Grey
4. Les Miserables - #23
5. Argo
6. Prometheus
7. The Avengers

[Jasonic]

Wow, my number 19 and 20 almost coincided with this, just switched around is all.

#18. The Grey

417 Points | Votes: 43 | Peak: 1 (2 Times)

Directed by Joe Carnahan
Starring: Liam Neeson, Dermot Mulroney, Frank Grillo

Rotten Tomatoes: 79% | iMDb: 6.8 | Watch Trailer

"The Grey is an exciting tale of survival, populated with fleshed-out characters
and a surprising philosophical agenda." - RottenTomatoes

[chrisron]

20. 21 Jump Street - I must admit I didn't find it very funny. Maybe I just expected something else, since I loved the original series.
19. The Amazing Spider-Man - Haven't seen it yet.
18. The Grey - Liked it, but not as much as many seem to do. Not in my top 40.

[jlou44]

Never saw The Grey. Don't know why, just never took the time.

[MarkJ801]

#17. The Hunger Games

458 Points | Votes: 48 | Peak: 1 (1 Time)

Directed by Gary Ross
Starring: Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Woody Harrelson

Rotten Tomatoes: 85% | iMDb: 7.2 | Watch Trailer

"Thrilling and superbly acted, The Hunger Games captures the dramatic violence,
raw emotion, and ambitious scope of its source novel." - RottenTomatoes

[Tony208]

The Grey in the top 20 a little surprising

[Jasonic]

The Grey comes pretty closed matched with my placement with it as well. One of the few that didn't like The Hunger Games, biggest disappointment of 2012.

Yeah, sorry, I've been way busier than I thought I would be the past couple days. I'll try to get them all posted tonight, but I might have to post the last few tomorrow afternoon.

#16. Life of Pi

465 Points | Votes: 42 | Peak: 2 (2 Times)

Directed by Ang Lee
Starring: Suraj Sharma, Irrfan Khan, Tabu

Rotten Tomatoes: 88% | iMDb: 8.2 | Watch Trailer

"A 3D adaptation of a supposedly "unfilmable" book, Ang Lee's Life of Pi achieves the near impossible;
it's an astonishing technical achievement that's also emotionally rewarding." - RottenTomatoes

"It's fantastic, witty, beautiful, charming, and gripping all at once. I would have written it all off as a fine and dandy light-hearted
adventure flick, up until the end, which spins the entire story in a wholly different light." - Al_The_Strange

[Jasonic]

Yeah, I actually would change to put The Impossible and Dredd in my top 20, instead of having 21 Jump Street and Amazing Spiderman. But Oh well.

Would of liked to see Life of Pi in the top 10.

[jlou44]

And here come the Best Picture Nominees. I had Life of Pi at 5, barely edging Django. I'm a sucker for a gorgeous looking film, and this one definitely is.

[MarkJ801]

#15. The Master

479 Points | Votes: 29 | Peak: 1 (9 Times)

Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson
Starring: Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams

Rotten Tomatoes: 86% | iMDb: 7.4 | Watch Trailer

"Smart and solidly engrossing, The Master extends Paul Thomas Anderson's winning
streak of challenging films for serious audiences." - RottenTomatoes

"I think The Master could be looked at in the future as a film in front of it's time. It's definitely
a film that demands re-watching, and a film I'd be happy to revisit time after
time as the film seems like it'll shape very differently every time I'll view it." - Foggy

[chrisron]

17. The Hunger Games - Better than expected, but far from a top 20 movie IMO.
16. Life of Pi - Fantastic movie. #4 on my list.
15. The Master - Great movie, but not in my top 20. Phoenix was fantastic in it though.
