Better late than never. As is evident from the list, I didn't go to the cinema enough last year and missed the likes of Captain Phillips, Stoker and Upstream Colour. I'd also liked to have caught Side Effects, Star Trek into Darkness, Mud and Elysium, although the latter's reviews were a bit disappointing.
1) Gravity
2) Much Ado About Nothing
3) Iron Man 3
4) Spring Breakers
5) Before Midnight
6) Django Unchained
7) The World's End
8) A Place Beyond the Pines
9) Life of Pi
10) This is the End
Other films that are worth mentioning - I didn't hate World War Z nearly as much as I thought I would, and thoroughly enjoyed the Evil Dead remake. Controversial perhaps, but the idea that they were staying at the cabin to help their friend come off smack or whatever, was an excellent plot device - they had to keep her there 'no matter what she said' and anything she did say (at least initially) could be written off as side effects from going cold turkey, rather then being raped by a tree and poisoned with a demonic being. Evidence that a remake with purpose and something new to say, is worth making.
