Top Movies of 2013

It’s that time of year again, where the Movies.ie journalists sit down and work out how many hours we spent in the dark, eating popcorn and slurping fizzy drinks.

Between January and November 2013 we spent the equivalent of four solid weeks locked inside a cinema eating popcorn. It was tough narrowing several hundred films down to just thirty. After many fights and tantrums we agreed on the below list, a jolly mix of art-house and blockbusters and surprisingly two Irish movies made it into the top 10… both are available now on DVD so you can still catch them if you haven’t yet.

Disagree with any of our choices? Let us know your top 10 movies below… 

1/ Gravity
2/ Captain Phillips
3/ This Is The End

We weren’t lucky enough to see all of Decembers movies before completing the poll. 

Its pretty likely that FROZEN, ANCHORMAN 2 and the upcoming HOBBIT sequel would all make our revised top 30.
