This is a list of all the films I’ve seen for the first time in 2012, i.e. not rewatches. They’re grouped by numerical ratings I’ve given, and then sorted in alphabetical order by their US release titles. If I’ve written a review for a film, you can click on the title to see it. My ratings are highly subjective and influenced by my personal biases, and if you want to know more about them, click here. And if you want to go back to last year and find out what I saw in 2011, click here.
