Top 36 Favorite Film Discoveries of 2012
I would have done individual picspams like I did last year, but I didn’t have the time and patience to do that.  Plus this year I watched so many more films than I ever have before, so I had many favorites and it was hard to narrow it all down to the random number 36. Unfortunately I didn’t watch as many films released in 2012 as I would have liked; I’ll probably end up watching more of those this year as I watched more 2011 releases in 2012.  Also, I decided to start a film blog on WordPress, and my first post details my top 36, which you can read here. The films are pictured in order of which I watched them.
