My Top 10 Best Movies of 2013

Hey guys, Movie Maniac here, and I'm bringing you my favorite movies of 2013. I won't go into too much detail of each movie because I think they speak for themselves when it comes to their Awesomeness. Remember these are MY favorite 10 films of 2013, so if my list don't agree with your list, well then that is ok because it is MY opinionated list, the movies I enjoyed when I saw them, not what you may or may not like.  So without further ado, here is my list:



Honorable Mentions: 12 Years A Slave, The Heat, The Wolverine, American Hustle, The Wolf of Wall Street, Bad Grandpa, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

• 10. Star Trek Into Darkness: It was another great film by JJ Abrams. I love this Star Trek Universe that JJ Abrams has created. We all know the movie's problem was not promoting Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan, but it was still a great film, to me anyways.
• 9. This Is The End: This movie was caused so many emotions for me, but for the most part it was hilarious and I was eating it right up, all the jokes and little quips, it was very good comedy.
• 8. World War Z: I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this film. It was shockingly enjoyable and I can't wait for the sequel.
• 7. Kick-Ass 2: I loved the first film. I could not wait for this one to come out. Of course, it wasn't as good as the first, but, it was still a good time and it is a shame it did not get as much love as it deserved.
• 6. Pacific Rim: I didn't go for the acting, I went for the action and I got a little bit of both. This film should have gotten more love than it did, but, it was still a great popcorn flick to watch in theaters.
• 5. Man of Steel: You know what I like about Man of Steel? It went there with killing ZOD! I did not anticipate Kal-El a.k.a. Superman killing Zod. It was a lot of backlash to it and you know what it was a good move and it was a very smart and, dare I say it, human move for him to kill Zod. All that and more is why this is my number 5 favorite film of 2013.
• 4. Fast and Furious 6: I couldn't wait for this film to come out, especially following how much I loved Fast Five. This film did not disappoint, I ate the action sequences up like the plane scene, the scene where Luke Evans' character was toppling cars with his super go kart. The only sad thing about the film is the tragic passing of Paul Walker.
• 3. Thor: The Dark World: I absolutely loved this film, the dynamic between Loki and Thor is just incredible. I also loved the film even more because one of my favorite actors who portrayed "The Doctor" in the long-running series Doctor Who was in it, which of course is Christopher Eccleston. It wasn't as good as the first one to me, but it was a damn good follow-up.
• 2. Iron Man 3: I adored Iron Man 3, it was way better than Iron Man 2, to be honest, I think it is better than the first film as well. I can watch this film over and over again. I did not mind the Mandarin switcheroo that they did, and for awhile I did not understand the hate until I carefully thought about it. I will discuss that in a later post, but for now, I just all around adored Iron Man 3.
• 1. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire: There is one reason why I absolutely adore this film, and surprisingly, it's not just how perfect Jennifer Lawrence's acting was in it. The reason I love this film so much is because it surprised me at how good it was and how much of a great movie it is. Not too often have I found a movie as Catching Fire and thought "wow that was not just a great movie for it's target demographic, but it was a great movie for all audiences." This was just a great film all around, I have seen this movie many times and I stay by my word that The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is a great movie going experience.

Well that's my favorites of 2013, I hope you enjoyed my lists of Worst and Best Films of 2013, and I would love to hear yours.


And As Always, I'm the Movie Maniac, and I'm Frantic About Film :D
