The 25 Best Movies of 2013



Before I get into my favorite movies of the year, I want to wish melancholy happy trails to Blockbuster who finally went under this year (sure the name lives on but like Napster before it, Blockbuster as we knew it is dead). It was basically my main source of movies for the past decade and with it gone, this may be my last Best Movies list for a while because I do not care for steaming movies. With Blockbuster dead, I have only seen one movie in the past month and really have not missed them because good Hollywood movies seem to be far and few in between anyway. So without further ado, here are the 25 movies I saw this year (not necessarily ones released over the past twelve months) that I did not absolutely hate.

1. This Is the End

2. Zero Dark Thirty

3. Pitch Perfect

4. Iron Man 3

5. Silver Linings Playbook

6. Django Unchained

7. Looper

8. Skyfall

9. The Watch

10. This Is 40

11. The Great Gatsby

12. Evil Dead

13. Spring Breakers

14. Moonrise Kingdom

15. Man of Steel

16. Snitch

17. Side Effects

18. Oz the Great and Powerful

19. Olympus Has Fallen

20. Premium Rush

21. The Man with the Iron Fists

22. Don't Be Afraid of the Dark

23. Flight

24. Argo
