The Best Films of 2013
Scott, thank you for your writing and focus on the films you review. I live nowhere near a decent cinema, so I don't get to see too many quality films up on the big screen, but I rely on you and a few others to let me know about films worth tracking down. Thanks to your lists and reviews over the years, I've caught some wonderful films, challenged my own ideas, and gained more intellectual investment in the films I watch. Granted, we have some similar tastes, but even/especially when our opinions diverge, I learn quite a bit from your writing and use it to fuel my own approach to film-watching. Cheers to 2014!— January 5, 2014 12:44 p.m.

You mention a film "about a woman doctor wanting to flee East Germany" and call Scott out for not introducing his readers to that film. I wish you'd done the research to include the film title...is this the one you're referring to? http://www.sandiegoreader.com/movies/barbara/ I haven't seen all of it yet, since my wife watched most of it while I was off shoveling snow or something, but I'm looking forward to seeing it, and I appreciate Scott's review as an introduction to it.— January 5, 2014 12:33 p.m.
