2012 Awards -- AFI Top Ten Films of the Year

The American Film Institute has chosen their Top 10 Films of the Year. This is something they've been doing for about a decade now. In fact, to be exact, this is the 13th year that they've done this. It's actually a decently big deal to be chosen, as the selections are made by a jury process with involved film scholars, producers, actors, critics, and the AFI Broad of trustees. And their selections for the Best Films of 2012 are...

ARGO -- (Ben Affleck)

BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD -- (Benh Zeitlin)

THE DARK KNIGHT RISES -- (Christopher Nolan)

DJANGO UNCHAINED -- (Quentin Tarantino)

LES MISERABLES -- (Tom Hooper)

LIFE OF PI -- (Ang Lee)

LINCOLN -- (Steven Spielberg)

MOONRISE KINGDOM -- (Wes Anderson)
