Movies From 2013 Which I Rated 9+ on IMDb
This is effectively the long list which went into my
"Top 10 of 2013" list. It contains every 2013 release which I have rated 9/10 or 10/10 on IMDb. This is out of over 400 movies I've seen this year with over 150 being 2013 releases eligible for this list. My peak year for movie viewing remains 1990 with over 1,100 movies.
Since I live in the UK and release dates often differ from the US, at the time of writing I had yet to see a number of movies which may otherwise have made this list, including The Wolf of Wall Street, American Hustle and August: Osage County.
This list contains narrative features only, my top documentary for 2013 is The Crash Reel.
The titles are listed in alphabetical order.
