Some of these movies will probably be confusing (ie Perks of Being a Wallflower as there were a number of other films before it on my  Top Films of 2012  list) but I think that theres a difference between an excellently made film, and a film that you feel a connection to, or one that really stands out to you. I chose most of the pictures because I felt they really represented what each film was about. So here they are, my top 10 films of all time. 10.) The Godfather A lot of people are definitely thinking that this should be higher on the list, but there are just more movies that I had a stronger reaction to.

10.) Zero Dark Thirty Such a great film, so intense and although I have no idea how much of it actually happened, most of it seemed pretty realistic, and it seemed to have the general gist of what I knew to have happened. Even if 90% of it is BS its still a fantastic film, such a thriller and its definitely action-packed.  Jessica Chastain  was really great in this one, she's almost unrecognizable in every movie I've seen her in.  Kathryn Bigelow  directs the films who also directed The Hurt Locker, I think I might like this one more, but I don't really remember  The Hurt Locker  much despite the fact that it epically won the Oscar in 2010 against her ex-husband  James Cameron  who directed  Avatar  that year. The movie was nominated for 5 Oscars winning 1 for Best Sound Editing.
