The (new) Movies I Saw This Year (in order of appreciation)

So this isn't a true top of the year list by any means, but what you see below is a list of every film that I saw for the first time this year (including ones that came out in other years - many go decades into the past) and the order in which I enjoyed them.  Full disclosure - I didn't go into a painstaking thought process with this list, and if I were to make this list tomorrow there's a good chance that the order might shift in places here and there.  (I do think the top ten is pretty solid though... shame Moneyball and The Muppets didn't sneak into there though ;-) ).  Also keep in mind that I'm terribly behind on a lot of new films, so you'll probably see those in my next year's list :)
