It's a little bit late to do this, but I seem to have forgotten to post my top 10 of the year 2013. As you may know from my 2013 Burt Awards, the list is topped by "12 Years a Slave". I consider it to be a filmmaking masterpiece, the acting is mesmerizing, the direction and the screenplay, everything works perfectly. I also think in other categories, like will it be a film that I will remember from that year. Will it? I'm sure I will. It's powerful and important. As well as the remaining 9 on the list, they are all memorable and extremely watchable (although I don't consider 12 Years a Slave to be watchable). They may be a little bit different from my Awards nominees, as I had time to rematch and reconsider. So here they are:
1. 12 Years a Slave (Steve McQueen)
2. The Wolf of Wall Street (Martin Scorsese)
3. Her (Spike Jonze)
4. Gravity (Alfonso Cuaron)
5. Philomena (Stephen Frears)
6. Dallas Buyers Club (Jean-Marc Vallee)
7. Captain Phillips (Paul Greengrass)
8. Side Effects (Steven Soderbergh)
9. Inside Llewyn Davis (Joel & Ethan Coen)
10. American Hustle (David O. Russel)
So that is my list. Of course probably over the years as I will be re-watching them, it will change. But for the time being that is my 2013 TOP 10.
