Renting the 3 of these this week, and going to see Silver Linings Playbook on Friday. Has anyone seen all 4, and if so, how would you rank them?
12

I have a ridiculously biased view of "Beasts," so that slants my judgment, I'll just throw that out there in the interest of full-disclosure.
1. Beasts
2. Moonrise Kingdom (Polarizing, if you're a Wes Anderson fan you'll more than likely think it's tremendous, if you're a WA detractor just pass on it. For me it was right below The Royal Tenenbaums on my WA scale)
3. Silver Linings Playbook (just a hair below Moonrise Kingdom, could probably call it 2a & 2b)
4. Perks

This for me too. But it's close between all three.

Perks is just a really well done coming of age movie. I'm probably biased because I love these types of stories / movies. It is sort of like Freaks and Geeks, which is one of my favorite shows of all time.

Seen all four.
Honestly it doesn't do much good to rank them because I think they're all in the same category of good movies, not great.
If I ranked them on which movies I'd watch again, either for the cinematography, or to catch something in the story that I may have missed. Not because either is better than the other....

Beasts is an extremely slow paced and overrated movie. Here is the best way to view it; turn on the English subtitles and watch it in fast forward.

Have you done this?

Yes. I had suffered enough and had to get on with it.

I read "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" a few years back and thought it was a decent story. I've heard the film version is a good interpretation.

There's not much separating these three, all are very good in their own way and all 3 will be on my top 10 of 2012 list.

I haven't seen SLP.
1) Moonrise Kingdom
2) Perks of Being a Wallflower(I also read the book and I think that it probably makes the movie more enjoyable.)
3) Beasts of the Southern Wild
I like all three movies. All three are somewhat polarizing. I still haven't decided if I really "enjoyed" Beasts of the Southern Wild, but I appreciated it for what it was.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why not just turn it off?

I'm in this camp. I mean, I guess on some level I can understand you wanting to finish it so if people ask you about it you can say you watched it or whatever, but really you can't even make that argument because you didn't watch it in the way that it was intended. It's basically like reading the blurb of a book and using that to formulate an entire opinion on it. Just kinda absurd, IMO

I saw perks and moonrise. Both solid flicks. I'm a big Wes Anderson fan so I give moonrise the nod over perks.

Just to see how it ends. It's that simple.
