You have 'this is the end' at 96 therefore your list is invalid.

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

This is the end was my favorite movie of the Summer, but I haven't seen any indies yet. I'm gonna spend the next few weeks catching up on indies.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I really wish The Place Beyond the Pines had been released later in the year. It was one of the most unique films this year but is being totally ignored for the big awards because it didn't come out in Novermber-December.

Pineapple Express is one of my favorite movies ever do I pretty much went into This Is The End knowing I would love it. If you're basing it on plot or the story then yeah it's pretty crummy, but I was in for the laughs and it did not disappoint in the least. Endless hilarious quotes and scenes.

 

[kedrell]

I don't think this was a very good year for comedies. I only saw two and they were both just ok but nothing special(The Heat & This Is The End). Of course I have yet to see Anchorman 2 which I'll be shocked if it doesn't easily end up as my #1 comedy of 2013, given the pedigree it has(I absolutely love the first one) and the weakness of it's competition this year.

I liked the story. It was stupid and ridiculous: very appropriate when it comes to Apatow crew.


I thought it was the funniest movie I've seen all year and the most fun I've had at the movies.

I think it a shame that movies NEED to be released during the fall- winter period in order to get critical acclaim.
You Always get into oscar bait mode when releasing movies during this time and when something is good but released early in the year , it's often ignored.

[DyeLorean]

Let's see... my favorite top 10 movies this year so far (I still have a lot of movies to see that might end up there, I just couldn't yet.)
Without any particular order:

Gravity
The Way Way Back
Prisoners
Iron Man Three
Star Trek Into Darkness
The Hunt
Side Effects
Oblivion
World War Z
Thor: The Dark World

 

[Crosswind Ghost]

"Her" is absolutely, without a doubt the best film of the year. With a disappointing year in films, this managed to become one of my favorite films in years. Spike Jonze knocks it out of the park, with a sci/fi exterior, this film nails the essential power points of human emotion. I can't praise Phoenix enough for his outstanding performance. Go see this movie. Okay I'm done.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

....You couldn't have put that in the "Her" thread?

 

[Crosswind Ghost]

....You couldn't have put that in the "Her" thread?

Probably will. But i just got back from seeing it, and was compelled to say it here.

 

[TheNextNolan22]

Lucky. Really want to see it as I'm a big fan of several of the people involved.
