Every film (that I can remember) that I watched in 2012 is listed below in the order that I watched them. It totals 184 features films, which is about 150% of the total number I watched in 2011, and 121 short films. The percentage of films I saw in the theatre dropped, as I didn't manage to make it to MIFF and a few other festivals this year.

My Top 10 of 2012 will be up shortly, though below is a good guide to what I enjoyed. This list includes films seen in the theatre or at festivals which are Bolded, or those seen on screeners or any other method. Red highlights are for films of ratings of 8 or higher out of 10 and are my highlights of the year, and don't forget to look out for some great "short films" also. Enjoy!
