Films of 2013

The other day I was chatting with a friend about the good films we had seen last year. We were struggling to remember what our highlights were, so this gave me an idea. I found a list of every film released in the UK last year and have given each one I saw my star rating.

5 * - One to watch at the cinema (or would be if it was still in cinemas)
Django Unchained
Trance
This is the end
Now you see me
Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa
Rush
Prisoners
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues
American Hustle

4 * - One to buy on DVD
The Impossible
Side Effects
Despicable Me 2
Kick Ass 2
We're the Millers
Captain Phillips

3* - One to stream or borrow from a friend
I give it a year
Wreck-it Ralph
Star Trek Into Darkness
The Hangover Part III
Monster's University
The World's End
The Heat
2 Guns
The Way, Way Back
Turbo
One Chance
Thor: The Dark World
Gravity
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

2* - One to watch on tv
Cloud Atlas
Man of Steel
The Internship

1* - Don't bother
Oblivion

So, not a bad year at all.

And looking ahead to films coming out this year, I'm particularly looking forward to The Wolf of Wall Street, The Amazing Spider-man 2 and 22 Jump Street.
