I'm not so sure I'm looking forward to this countdown

I mean I'm super curious mostly because I have no idea what's actually going to win

[baumer]

I don't have any proof of this but I have a feeling that The Perks of Being a Wallflower is definitely something North Americans might get behind more than people from different parts of the world. Again no proof of that just a feeling.

 

Although @Noctis loved it.

It was real nice but I do feel it's strangely highly rated here. It's probably in my top 10 somewhere.

[baumer]

Whats so wrong with having Perks high up? If a movie speaks to you then it's done its job. Perks definitely spoke to me.

[baumer]

Maybe perks of a Wallflower reminded me of all of the really good John Hughes movies from the eighties and nineties. And it also reminded me of high school which even though I am more than 25 years removed from it, I still recall very vividly.

[Ethan Hunt]

Perks is very sentimental to me for reasons that are hard to think about right now so I pushed it down to #3 instead of #1 because I'm a bitch like that.

[aabattery]

But did you watch Boy, @Ethan Hunt?

 

?

This count down will be hard to watch because 2012 was so poor that SLP and Perks actually can be top 10 material

Be honest though. Is it really going to be worse than the actual list we did in 2012 where TDKR won?

Sent mine in - I waffled a bit between my #1 and #2 - then again my top 5 was all pretty equal.

Also Mud is ineligible, wasn't released till April 2013.

 

I did not realise The Grey was 2012. This pleases me. Got a busy week ahead of me but I'll try squeeze a couple of these in.

Give it time Ethan there were much better films in 2012 but overall the year was a yawn fest

The Grey was just outside my top 25

yeah I don't really love 2012 but Perks is legit amazing. SLP is half of a great movie but then Cooper and Lawrence magically start fixing their problems and they turn into super boring ass characters.

The best film of 2012. Perks, Cloud Atlas, and Zero Dark Thirty were by far the best films. 

[Ethan Hunt]

Perks will forever be known as the film that can make Ethan, Noctis, and baumer all be on the same page
