A Year In Film: 2012

Well, I have finally totted up the numbers… Over the course of last year I watched a total of 165 films, with 119 virgin viewings, 46 old favourites, and a measly 4 in the picture palace.

That compares with 169 films last year, 102 in 2010, 345 in 2009, 252 in 2008, and a whopping 359 in 2007.

My top 20 recommendations, based on what I watched in 2012, would go like this (in purely alphabetical order):

• City Of Life And Death AKA 南京! 南京! (2009)
