The Best to Worst 2013 Releases


So this year I have seen some movies... a lot of movies more like it. Here is my list of my top movies released in 2013 (as listed on Boxofficemojo.com). When I put a list like this together, it isn't just my favorites and it isn't how I rank them as a 'film'... it's a bit of a combination, and I have no idea what the percentages are... Well, here you go. (Also, at the end is a list of what I haven't seen yet, so don't get mad if you don't see a certain movie or two in the ranks). I would say around #55'ish is where the movies start to trend noticeably downward.

Here is what I haven't seen (so far) from 2013. Some will be seen in the next two weeks, others I will have to wait til I have time to rent them, or re-released before the Oscars. I'm also not saying these are all going to be contenders, in fact, I lothe to see some of these... but these are the noticeable movies I missed.
