Thinking back on 2012 and wanted to get thoughts on what people thought were the best movies of 2012 were.

Iain I haven't seen that one yet.

Harry You said the Avengers?

@Iain i have not checked out Looper or Cloud Atlas yet. Why are they your Favorites?

Looper is one of the best movies I've seen in years, and easily the best time travel story I've ever encountered. Wholly unpredictable, & a completely original screenplay—no graphic novel roots, no book adaptations, just 100% creativity. There's more going on than meets the eye. If you care about critical reviews, it's still tracking a 94% approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes.

As for Cloud Atlas, it's amazing to see how such a creative, experimental novel could be adapted to screen equally as imaginatively. The Wachowskis / Tom Twyker cleverly leverage film as a medium to perfectly pace the intertwining stories and thus leave the viewer interested for the full 2 hours and 49 minutes. Even those new to the novel will be captivated.

I have been trying a new Thing where I try my best not to read any reviews our watch many trailers. It ends up spoiling the experience for me. It's so hard not to but I want to keep up with that.

That's what I did with Jack Reacher. I didn't read anything about it our see anything about it. A friend asked to go see it (He payed) and I enjoyed it a lot more. It's not an amazing movie at all but knowing nothing about it helped with expectations and I could enjoy it more. (Decent film if you don't want to think. Nothing ground breaking)

I want to see looper a few people have told me it's amazing. Have you checked out the Life of Pi?

Was that worth a watching?

I haven't seen Life of Pi yet. It looks like an epic, but terribly sad story. I tend to shy away from that anything sad. :)

DId you end up seeing Life of PI?

I did not. I got a chapter into the book, but it wasn't for me.

However, I did see Cloud Atlas and Looper, both are close, but #1 and #2 respectively.

I think mine as I have had time to think about it is the Movie Flight. That movies has stuck with me since I saw it. I did enjoy silver linings playbook as well
