Films Watched in 2013

2013 was a strange year for movie watching, and by strange I mean I really didn't watch many at all.  It was all for good reason as my son was born in early February, and from that point on and for most of the duration of the year my life was a busy one, and the time to watch movies, and go to the theater was slim. Granted my reason for such a short list goes beyond just my busy life, there was a good amount of free time spread through out the many evenings and sleepy afternoons of the year that was devoted to revisiting television series in their entirety that could have been used to watch movies. 

Up until about the last month or so this had also been a very dull year for new film releases, and a very mediocre and empty summer.(made up for by an extremely fantastic and busy fall that I am currently struggling to catch up on). We made a few trips to the drive in and was able to catch a few summer releases, but very few left a lasting impression. January was my strongest month, and in it I was able to see some absolutely amazing older films for a first watch, The Conversation, Harold and Maude, and Cinema Paradiso being my two favorite first time watched on this year! Then finally December was another strong month to help bookend this year with a lot of great rewatches, and a few really great first time watches. Only God Forgives and The Place Beyond the Pines will be making a return when I get my Top 10 list completed.
