End of the year favorites – movies

Not a great year for movies, but we still went to see quite a few.  I waited until I saw Les Miserables (we saw it last night). 1. Argo – you know how it ends, and they still create tension.  It also gave me a nickname for a good friend.  Alan Arkin and John Goodman were absolutely brilliant 2. End of Watch – not on anyone else's list, but the brutality and believability of the performances and the plot moved me.  Great acting IMHO. 3. Silver Linings – an interesting twist on a romantic comedy.  Not sure why I like it so much, but I found it delightful 4. Lincoln – maybe the "best" movie, I did not enjoy it so much as respect it.  The movie provides an important civics lesson.  The acting is superb and the subject matter important.   5. Dark Knight Rises – always like Batman 6. Moonrise Kingdom – quirky, confusing and brilliant No Les Miz does not make my list.
