2o13 was an unusually good year in film. While there was never any doubt what my number one film would be, it took me considerably longer to narrow down my other favorites to just 25 movies.
Also complicating matters is that a film that I’m very much looking forward to, Spike Jonze’s Her, is not going to be opening here until next weekend. Because I haven’t seen it, I could not consider it for this list. If, after I do see it, I feel that it belongs in the top 26, I will add it.
(Update: I have since seen Her and I have modified my original list. — LMB, 1/1o/14)
You may be asking, “Why 26 films?” Lisa doesn’t do odd numbers, that’s why.
Without further ado, here’s the list!
(Now that you’ve seen my favorites of 2013, check out my picks for 2010, 2011, and 2012!)
