Lists of Five
This week our Lists of Five: The Five Films we Enjoyed The Most in 2012. Forget the best films of 2012, what did we actually enjoy the most.
Just a reminder, because we never like to just make things easy on ourselves, our lists are not necessarily top five lists, they are more or a less a list of film recommendations within the theme of the list.
