2012 was a great year and I had a difficult time cutting the list down to 10 but in the end, some paintful cutting left these titles behind.

A few other movies that nearly made the list are: Shuffle, The Hunt, ParaNorman, Killing Them Softly, The Raid: Redemption and Zero Dark Thirty.

Other honorable mentions: Magic Mike</span>, Compliance, History of Future Folk, Blackbird, The Master, 21 Jump Street, Beasts of the Southern Wild and The Master.
