We agreed on 6 of our top 10, which makes you the closest to me of all the lists I've seen so far. For which I say "You've got great taste!"

It's great to see Moonrise Kingdom up so high at #3. That was my favorite movie of 2012, and it's been cool to see it on so many lists. It's interesting that your lead acting choices are really close to the Oscars. I can't argue with the ones that I've seen, though, so it's good with me. I haven't seen Les Mis, and it feels like a movie that people either adore or dislike pretty strongly because of Hooper's direction. I've also heard the same thing about Cloud Atlas, so it will be interesting to check out too. Nice work!

Thanks Dan. Yep, Moonrise Kingdom was so much emotional and funny that I still get smile on my chicks. I had pretty close matches in predicting acting categories at Oscars, surprisingly we matched :))

For me Les Mis was one of the best watching experiences this year, though I did not like the camera work that much. But it does have a soul that makes me a huge fun of it. Cloud Atlas is kind of movie that I don't generally watch more than one time, however I saw it three times at the theater. It totally got my attention.

Thanks for participating!!!! Don't agree with you on ATM though... Sure its no Scream or Sinister for that matter but I found it a bit entertaining.

My pleasure. Yeah, it is debatable, however, ATM was not really my type of horror.
