Interesting that so many good films did well at the box office, that isn’t what people expect but I think people do want quality films. Check out my favorites for the year http://amandalovesmovies.com/2012/12/28/best-of-2012
Loved from your list: Beasts of the Southern Wild; Moonrise Kingdom; and Safety Not Guaranteed. I have yet to see Lincoln, but it is on the top of movies I want to still see.
