2013 was a year that started off pretty meh for me. Over the first few months I got to experience Texas Chainsaw 3D, Oz the Great and Powerful, Bullet to the Head, John Dies at the End, and The Great Gatsby, and I wondered if I was ever going to have a single satisfying movie experience from that year.* But then I was surprised.
In naming my top ten, this is only a matter of personal preferences. I realize that several of you will disagree with several of these choices, but it's my list and I would appreciate it if you could be civil in your disagreement. Also, this is only going by what I've seen so far. I haven't viewed The Wolf of Wall Street or Gravity yet, but I'm sure I'll love them when I get around to it.
10. The Wolverine
9. V/H/S/2
8. This is the End
7. Man of steel
6. Frankenstein's Army
5. Scenic Route
4. American Mary
3. The World's End
2. Kick-*** 2
1. The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

So what are some of your favorites from last year? It doesn't have to be a top ten, of course. You could just do a top five or one. I'm not going to tell you what to do.

*I realize that some of those "meh" films are well liked by some people - with the exception of the first one, I hope. But again, this is just a matter of personal taste. Disagree by all means, but please do so without biting my head off. Thank you.

Some of these films I'm listing are listed as 2012, but didn't get released (outside of festivals) until 2013 like American Mary and Maniac.
