Cinemonk's Film Rankings of 2012

Here is the complete list of movies I reviewed over the past year in order from best to worst. Coincidentally I saw an even 100 movies this year this is not something I was trying to do, it just ended up that way (If you're being technical, I saw 101 if you count Star Wars and Star Wars Uncut as two different movies, but I listed here together). This is a VERY loosely organized list. Most of the films I saw this year were good to great, this coupled with the fact that the differing genres and types of films make them very difficult to organize into such a list. So don't write to me saying that X movie is better than Y movie, because A) this is a subjective list, and B) this list is far from perfect. I did my best, and that's all you can ask of me. Each entry on this list is linked to my review of that movie so you can use my own words against me in the creation of these rankings. List after the jump.
