Honourable Mentions: The Girl, a magnificent made for TV film, definitely one to look out for.
Superman Vs. The Elite, a great animated superhero film.
Elephant in the Room: The Dark Knight Rises, this was coming nowhere near my top 10 list, because I don't think it's that good, despite how everyone else raves about it.
10. The Woman In Black
Splendidly spooky horror story that was just dripping with atmosphere, I had to go see the Muppets right after to cheer myself up again...
9. Moonrise Kingdom
Quirky Comedy about a boy and a girl who run away together. Brilliantly funny and filled with a lot of heart.
8. The Raid
Magnificent action film with a hugely simple plot. The fight scenes have to be seen to be believed.
7. Looper
Intelligent Sci-Fi with wonderful characters and mounting tension that's hard to top.
6. Killer Joe
Dark, disturbing and wonderful. You'll never, ever forget the KFC scene.
5. Seven Psychopaths
Hilariously dark and full of some absolutely top-notch performances. Martin McDonagh continues to deliver.
4. The Pirates! In An Adventure With Scientists!
Splendidly British animated comedy. Every joke hits and the characters are quite likable too.
3. Prometheus
Mysterious, interesting and scary. Could be retitled, 'dude, don't touch that...'
2. Paranorman
The biggest surprise on my list, I love every second of this. It's clever, funny and really struck an emotional chord with me.
1. Shame
Film about the life of a sex addict, with one of the best performances of Michael Fassbender's career. Definitely the best film of 2012.
