I need a complete list because I don't even remember what all came out last year... and a lot I do remember I don't want to put in a top 10 list. >_>

LOL @ Safety Not Guaranteed. Best true story ever.

Anyway my top three might be Avengers, Argo, and Lincoln. There were others I enjoyed but not enough to bother ranking them right now.

I'm being a fanboy and voting for The Hunger Games. \:D/

But I've basically seen nothing.

I have a feeling if I had seen Blue Like Jazz I would've voted for it...maybe. But I went for The Dark Knight Rises, although Lincoln may have been it.

Well, of the movies listed, I've only seen:

Les Miserables
The Avengers
The Amazing Spiderman
Wreck-It Ralph
The Hunger Games

And honestly, I liked all of these films very much. I was skeptical but excited about seeing both Les Mis and The Hunger Games, and neither disappointed, and Wreck-It Ralph turned out to be an unexpectedly touching story. And I'm not that into superheroes, but Spiderman and the Avengers were both pretty awesome in their latest incarnations. (Fun fact: I've never seen any of the Avenger-related movies that contributed to this latest cast of characters. \:D/ Actually, the only big name superhero movies I recall watching are the other Spiderman and Supermant II, the latter being so hilarious because it was so bad.)

For me, It was a close tie between the Hobbit and The Dark Knight Rises, but I chose the dark knight rises.

1. Rise of the Guardians
2. The Avengers (even though it was the most anticipated, by far)
3. People Like Us
4. This Means War
5. Lawless
6. The Dark Knight Rises
7. Wreck-It Ralph
8. The Hobbit
9. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
10. The Hunger Games

I originally did NOT like The Hunger Games, but it has grown on me. The reason it's at the bottom of the list. And I DID like TDKR a lot - Tom Hardy was amazing - but it definitely was not the best I had seen through-out the year. And I did see Argo finally, and it was FANTASTIC!!! Overall, 2012 was really good :) I'm actually happy I got to watch the movies I saw.

EDIT: And I have seen Brave and Lincoln, from the poll list. Neither made my top ten of the year though. Lincoln was great. Brave was funny, but that and the animation was all it had in it for me.
