My Top 10 Movies of 2013

Each year, Mike Kasper, Willie Waffle and myself pick our favorites movies that were released within that year. This year was a lot easier for me than years past.

Of the thousands of movies that were released in 2013, I was able to see 42 of them. Of that 42 I narrowed it down to my top 10 favorites. One of the biggest things I take into consideration when deciding if a movie will make my top 10 is how I felt walking out of the theater? Was I moved by this movie? Could I not wait to talk to someone else who saw the movie? Am I dying to tell a friend to go see it? I also try and see movies that Mike won't so that we don't end up with the same list. Give a little variety.

My 10 Ten Movies of 2013

10. Olympus Has Fallen-Saw this 2x in the theater
9. Fast and Furious 6 -This movie franchise is my guilty please. RIP Paul Walker
8. The Heat-Saw it by myself and laughed out loud
7. Prisoners- I was so uncomfortable yet I couldn't stop thinking about the ending after I left the theater
6. The Conjuring-Scary Movie Sunday was never the same!
5. Now You See Me Kept me guessing the entire movie
4. 42- I loved how Hollywood portrayed this historic moment
