#9. Lincoln
Sally Field is intoxicating as Mary Todd Lincoln, the perfect match for Daniel Day-Lewis’ presidential performance. Lincoln will likely be the recipient of many statues this awards season.

#8. Silver Linings Playbook
This bi-polar love story depicts two people who are given a second chance. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper play two of the quirkiest, messed-up characters this year. Good thing they found each other!

#7. Argo
Ben Affleck outdid himself in this thrilling, real-life story about the Iran hostage crises where the federal agents pretended they were going to Iran to film a sci-fi movie. This wild idea makes Argo stunning to watch.

#6. Skyfall
This deliciously dark and moody Bond film had more depth and emotion than any other 007 film in recent history. Though feeling his mortality, Daniel Craig again proves he’s still swoon-worthy in Skyfall.

Hugh Jackman yanks our heartstrings in this fantastic musical, where Anne Hathaway gives the performance of her lifetime. We dare you to get out of the theater without shedding a tear.

#2. The Hunger Games
Who can forget Katniss’ burning gown or all the fabulous eyelashes? The Hunger Games had strong female characters, sexy dudes and lots of action. We can’t wait for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire!

#1. Magic Mike
OK, so maybe this flick isn’t an award favorite, but of all the movies we saw this year, Magic Mike was the most entertaining for its nearly naked dance routines with some super hot studs. If we had to see any film again, most certainly this stunning stripper story would be it! Channing Tatum and Joe Manganiello win our award for entertaining sex appeal.
