12. Killer of Sheep – Although I found it interesting in its style and history, I found practically no enjoyment from this movie.

11. Freaks – Again, I found the political message regarding the use of people with physical handicaps in circuses to be interesting; however, the entire movie simply felt strange and uncomfortable. (Maybe that is how I am supposed to feel)

10. Detour – Overall, a somewhat entertaining movie; however, the plot was not earth shattering.  

9. Sherlock Jr. – I found this film to be funny and enjoyable with its slapstick humor and general cartoon nature.

8. Awara – Although this movie was incredibly long and sometimes drawn out it definitely had a good storyline that kept me intrigued and interested.

7. Frances Ha – I enjoyed the realistic nature of the film where it showed our current generation and what we truly sound like on a day to day basis.

6. Wendy and Lucy – The minimalist approach that was used to show poverty in the US was interesting. Also, it definitely captured the emotional bond between a human and his or her pet.

5. My Own Private Idaho – I really enjoyed the Shakespearean theme where the dialogue between characters was artistic and well thought out.

4. The Vanishing – It was interesting to go inside a psychopath’s mind and see how he planned his terrible actions against the main characters.

3. The Good the Bad and the Ugly – The way in which all of the separate stories of the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly come together at the end is simply a masterpiece. (Also the one-liners are pretty awesome)

2. Moonrise Kingdom – This was simply an enjoyable movie. I enjoyed the way in which the scouts were portrayed… and the acting by the two kids was phenomenal.

1. O Brother Where art Thou – This was definitely my favorite movie. I enjoyed the music, the story, and the blend between humor and serious topics. I would definitely watch this movie again!
