Just the ones that actually came out last year, whether you saw them on DVD or in the theater... rank 'em 'best to worst'. For me -- The Dark Knight Rises Django Unchained John Carter The Avengers Looper 21 Jump Street The Bourne Legacy Dredd Brave Skyfall The Amazing Spider-Man Prometheus Premium Rush Men in Black 3 Ted Here Comes the Boom The Expendables 2 The Dictator The Campaign Snow White & The Huntsman Total Recall Rock of Ages The Grey Wrath of the Titans

The Avengers. Hunger Games. Women In Black. Amazing Spider-Man. Skyfall. 21 Jump Street. Cabin In The Woods. Dredd. Resident Evil 5. The Hobbit. And Total Recall.
I'm pretty sure more will come to mind. But those are all I can recall at the moment.

I ranked them in the 2012 movie thread, but I have seen a few more:
The Dark Knight Rises The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Django Unchained
Looper Rise of the Guardians Wreck-it Ralph Skyfall Argo
The Avengers The Amazing Spider-Man John Carter 21 Jump Street Cabin in the Woods
The Grey Brave The Bourne Legacy Hotel Transylvania The Expendables 2 Red Lights Dark Shadows Casa de mi Padre The Dictator Zero Dark Thirty The Campaign.
Prometheus The Woman in Black Taken 2 Underworld: Awakening Wrath of the Titans.
----
Unsurprisingly, Django became a favorite. I loved Argo and while at first I got caught in the hype, then I realized Zero Dark Thirty wasn't really that good. Also, I had forgotten The Campaign and Wrath of the Titans. The first one was forgettable and the second one I wanted to forget.

My favorites were:
Django Unchained....another classic from Tarantino. The movie loses a bit with that final shoot out but up to that point....5 stars.
Silver Linings Playbook.....this is my wife's favorite film of the year and I agree...it was fun to see at the movies. Great cast and a compelling story.
Lincoln.....loved the history lesson and Daniel Day Lewis was fantastic. Who knew that Repubicans were once such hereos?
Looper.....a dark film but still I really enjoyed this sci-if tale.
The Hobbit.....I enjoyed the journey once again. Better than I expected.
Skyfall......real good Bond film.
The Impossible.....true story and wow is it compelling.
Also enjoyed many of this years past films including:
The Dark Knight Rises
The Avengers
Prometheus
Cabin In The Woods
Hunger Games
Moonrise Kingdom
End Of Watch
Worst movie?
Dark Shadows.....it has it all, cast and director but whoa what a disappointment. Shoulda been awesome, turned out a boring turd.
The absolute worst movie though and not unexpected is Pirhana 3DD. Even That's My Boy had a laugh or two.

Hm, since I saw it in January, it didn't click for me that "Django" is actually a 2012 movie.
Hm. Django vs. Avengers. Tough one. I really loved both of them.

My top ten:
Avengers Lincoln Skyfall Pirates! Band of Misfits Life of Pi Hunger Games Moonrise Kingdom Django Unchained The Campaign Zero Dark Thirty
(Keep in mind that I can, of course, only rank the movies that I've actually seen. THE CAMPAIGN may not be the funniest movie of 2012, but it's the funniest one that I saw. I did not see TED, however, and many seem to think that that one was very good.)
Worst movie I saw in 2012: Probably The Bourne Legacy
Most Overrated Movies of 2012 (imho): Amazing Spider-Man and Argo (Now...THAT ought to get people talking!)
