The Best of 2013 According To Me



Best Albums:

Most of these were on the Rolling Stone list of best albums which reinforces my theory that I have great taste.

HAIM - Days Are Gone
Lorde - Pure Heroine
Arcade Fire - Reflektor
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Tegan and Sara - Heartthrob
Vampire Weekend - Modern Vampires of the City
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Soundtrack
London Grammar - If You Wait
Portugal.the Man - Evil Friends
M.I.A. - Matangi




Best Movies:

Now this is just a list of the movies that I saw this year that I enjoyed the most.  In order of release date, not quality.  

There are lots of movies that I saw this year that are not on this list.  Like 'Thor: The Dark World' and 'Beautiful Creatures'.  They are not on this list because they were not good. 

And there are lots of movies not on this list that are great and are going to be nominated for Oscars and such.  Like 'Gravity' and '12 Years a Slave'.  They are not listed because, with a few exceptions, I found that I just didn't feel like watching anything that wasn't going to make me laugh or involve explosions and/or supernatural creatures.  

Warm Bodies
Side Effects
The Sapphires
Iron Man 3
Now You See Me
Much Ado About Nothing
This Is The End
The Bling Ring
The Heat
The Way Way Back
The World's End
Ender's Game
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
Frozen
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug




Best TV:

I watch a LOT of television.  And I generally don't watch things I don't enjoy watching.  

So this is just a list of the shows I enjoyed watching the most in 2013.  Ranked in order of how much I looked forward to them each week and how torturous it was for me to wait for them when they were on hiatus.

Breaking Bad
The Walking Dead
American Horror Story
Game of Thrones
The Originals
Scandal
Orphan Black
Brooklyn Nine-Nine
The Mindy Project
The Killing
Veep
Family Tree
