I remember you not being too happy with my affection for Trash Humpers. LOL
I have complicated feelings about Trash Humpers. I was one of the few people in the audience who stuck around for the whole duration when it screened at a festival down here. At the time I said it got stale and boring quickly, but I then realized I found it seriously disturbing and couldn't get it out of my head for days. It's an easy film to make fun of, 'cause... y'know. But I think it accomplishes what it sets out to do, and it's genuinely disquieting. Today I view it a lot more favorably than I did at the time. But I don't know that I ever want to watch it again.
Dev, you should check out The Rebellion of Red Maria, a similarly disturbing Greek film from a couple of years ago. Based on your reaction to Trash Humpers, I'm interested to know what you'd think of that one.
As far as Spring Breakers, I think I was annoyed by it on first viewing and ranked it way at the very bottom of Harmony Korine's filmography, but found myself re-examining it with time and want to watch it again.
Overall, I think 2013 was a really strong year for movies, especially smaller independents.

Can someone tell me which are the movies mentioned in this thread that are not part of the following categories: action movies / wizards and shit / something epic / character overcomes something
Only God Forgives, Ain't Them Bodies Saints, and Upstream Color.
I meant good ones only.
Then Only God Forgives.
Isn't that one a movie Harry Lime likes? I wouldn't feel comfortable watching it then.
it's not.
for me the best film of 2013 is either Only God Forgives or A Field in England
