'Female First' magazine gives TH: AUJ fourth place for 2012

 Online magazine Female First is counting down its 'Best Movies of 2012', and today it revealed that it has The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey at the number four spot. They call it 'an utter triumph ... a film with real heart'; which makes one wonder, what could have beaten it and claimed the first, second and third spots? You can read their article - and see the top ten so far, plus the winning three films on future days - here. What would be your top ten of 2012? Would An Unexpected Journey snag the number one position?

The only movie I might rate ahead of AUJ that I have seen would be "Skyfall", which I really enjoyed, and which I felt was an outstanding Bond with unusually good acting performances for that franchise. I like Craig in all of his, and Judy Dench was given more to do than usual in this one, and was fantastic. I can imagine others might put this year's Batman and Avengers entries ahead too (but I wouldn't, though I saw both). Then there are serious, critically acclaimed movies like "Lincoln" (which I have not seen - I rarely go for those, there is always DVD...).

but since getting married three years ago i've had to focus on just watching the ones i'm really interested in. this year my top 5 would probably be:
1. The Master
2. The Hobbit
3. The Dark Knight Rises
4. Looper
5. The Hunger Games
interested to see Zero Dark Thirty when i can. also am a huge Les Mis fan but not sure if i will make it to the theater for that one. pretty great year for genre movies even if i didn't like The Avengers half as much as the rest of the world seemed to.
somewhat more in line with the OP, i think it's great that a movie like The Hobbit, which has all of five minutes of screentime for a female presence, can get high praise from an online magazine called "Female First."

if PJ had put up those shelves like he promised, he probably would have got first place.
