The Most Listiest Time of the Year. Christmas is just a couple days away, which means time is almost out on 2012… Time to roll out all the Year-End Lists!
Of course, the only ones of interest to me are the Worst Movies of 2012 lists. Especially this year, which has been universally recognized as a banner year for films.
So what does a Worst Movies of 2012 list look like this time around? Surprisingly respectable.
By that, I mean it appears we weren’t deluged with Waylan Brothers comedies or Katherine Heigl rom-coms this year. Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy only appear on The AV Club’s list, and such regular offenders as Sarah Jessica Parker, Lindsay Lohan and (God bless him) Nic Cage were nowhere to be seen.
More surprising is how deep these sites had to dig. All of the sites I’ve linked to below had to dig pretty deep to round out their lists, either with limited releases or documentaries. I guess 2012 was a banner year for films after all.
