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? :D
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!)
