The Lair of Filth's Top 20 Films of 2012


Well well, it's that time of the year (it is for me anyway) in which I decide to post a list of my top 20 favorite films of the year. I never post 'Best of' lists, as I don't agree with them, I just like to list the films that I enjoyed the most. All the films below received their either Blu-ray, DVD, Screener or Theatrical releases in 2012 in either the US or UK; for example, Shame got a theatrical in late 2011 but didn't see its Blu-ray release until April 2012, so it made the list. Whereas Accident was didn't get a Blu-ray release until October 2012, but was first released in 2009, so it didn't make the list. Like I say though, this is a list of films I enjoyed from 2012, and it is always a tough decision to decide what makes the list and what doesn't. It's always a tough list for me to write, and this year was no different as my first draft had over 30 films on it. It was a hard decision to cut some and keep others, but that's the way it goes.

Badass list! Great to see Michael in the Top 10 :)

Cheers, J!! Inbred was great fun. Wonderfully sick and twisted.

Michael was just a stunning film. Understated and creepy, and very real.
