Been watching a lot of movies from these years recently. Nearly done with 2012. Have a top ten list ready, but will watch the remaining thirteen movies before posting it here.

That's ten movies
Mine would probably be something like:
Mulholland Drive (Lynch) Fight Club (Fincher) Do The Right Thing (Lee) Vertigo (Hitchcock) 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick) Birdman (Iñárritu) Barton Fink (J&E Coen) Broken Embraces (Almodóvar) Upstream Color (Carruth) Blue Valentine (Cianfrance)
I guess I like movies that start with the letter 'B'

Seeing these four above Inception is freaking me out.
How to train your dragon is definitely better than Inception. I liked troll hunter but it’s been a decade since I saw it - I remember thinking it was fun but really only like 45 minutes worth of movie stretched into 90

Avengers is an embarrassing choice, though i will say it kinda represents a death of my childhood (but in a good way). Pretty impressive logistical feat if nothing else. Marvel is easy to hate now, but they actually treated those original characters very well. Props to them for not turning Captain America another dull "liberal" mouthpiece.
Not sure why Darjeeling is on my old list but Life Aquatic isn't. I don't remember much about Darjeeling except that I like it. Life Aquatic is much more pleasingly right wing. What a man that Steve Zissou is!
