Movie List so far:
Dark Knight Rises
Avengers
Cosmopolis

What about best comedy? Doesn't seem like there were a lot of good ones this year.
21 Jump Street
Ted
Goon
The Dictator
what else was there?

Life of Pi deserves to be on here simply for how great it looked.

These are the best movies of the year but they don't fit the profile of what's usually in these polls

Holy Motors
Himizu
Kotoko
Livid
Maniac
Elena
The Hidden Face
The Ambassador
Sleep Tight
Rust & Bone

Still need to see a handful of films that look like likely candidates.
Whether to Jason of Philaflava or John Podesta, I will speak my fucking perspective openly

Might be wrong but I thought Livid was last year.

I have Kotoko sitting in the unwatched pile and I really need to see Sleep Tight.

Best documentary poll is interesting but i can't see it getting more than a handful of people even voting in it or who would have seen even enough to vote properly. Would make for a better forum thread topic than a poll.

Would be interested in peoples nominations for best actor/actress in both TV and Film.
Best villain poll would be fun too, I think we need to get faggotass Joffrey in a poll somehow.

I think Safety Not Guaranteed was a good movie. But shouldn't get any best of the year votes. I think its faults are overlooked due to the people involved (the Duplass brothers, Plaza, etc...) I mean, that ending... :lol:

It's a good flick, and I think you could put it in a comedy category, but yeah, it's not the best movie of the year or anything.

It's definitely one of the most palatable romantic comedies I've ever seen.

Still two weeks out, may not make the cutoff for the polls. Not sure when Gloss wants to put the year end forum up.
Django for certain will have to be reserved for next years poll.

Dredd & Raid should both be included imo since they do different things and Bruce Lee and Cyber City been had that idea anyways.

Cosmopolis
Killer Joe
Argo was solid
