Best of 2012 - The Anticipated List
This is how I think the final "Best of"-list will look like, right now.
It'll be fun to see how it measures up to the real one...
Movies that were on here, but were taken off
Lawless
Skyfall
The Bourne Legacy
The ABCs of Death
The Raid
One Direction - Up All Night: The Live Tour(because no matter how much I love it, it's going to be kicked off the final list - too many good "real" movies here to stay)
Beasts of the Southern Wild (I really, really wanted this on the list, but I can't bring myself to remove any of these films. Plus, I am seriously uncertain on whether I'll love or hate Beasts - I haven't read or seen that much about it, but I think either I'll fall completely in love with it or feel it's incredibly pretentious and shit.)
Inside Llweyn Davis (mostly because it's unsure whether it comes out in 2012 or 2013)
Beyond the Black Rainbow (as Letterbox has it as a 2011-film, and IMDb as 2010)
This is probably not even going to be close to the finished result. I won't touch this list after today (12th of June 2012), so it'll be very interesting to see the finished list.
Here's the "real" list; letterboxd.com/watchinpreacher/list/favorites-of-2012/

Well this is probably already way off - I didn't like The Dark Knight Rises THAT much, and WB are moving Gangster Squad to 2013. Goddammit.
The Five-Year Engagement has now been seen and is nothing more than an alright romantic comedy. Review here.
The Raid was merely okay.
The Great Gatsby moved to 2013, The Bourne Legacy was dull stuff and The Perks of Being a Wallflower haven't even gotten distribution in Norway so I won't be able to see it at the movies. :(
This is so off already I can't even begin to fathom it. Oh well. Seeing Paranorman in not too long, so hopefully that's as excellent as I think it should (could?) be.
Perks of Being a Wallflower now has distribution in Norway! Woo! It's coming out early November, so I'll see it then.
Another bit of sad news though; Paranorman, with original English audio, got taken off before I had a chance to watch it. :(
In addition, V/H/S was good, but not "best of 2012"-good. Oh well. At least I enjoyed Looper a lot.
I have no idea why Killing Them Softly isn't on this list. I just wanted to say that.
After seeing Gangster Squad it became apparent that it wouldn't have been on this list anyway. Brave won't be there either.
Seven Psychopaths, The Hobbit and Perks of Being a Wallflower were all brilliant though.
