JR Late Night Blogs publishes a yearly list on the 20 Best Films for the Year. As the year 2012 comes to a close, it is a great time for JR to present his latest list of the Top 20 Movies that rocked the entire year. Movies which premiered from 01 January 2012 to 24 December 2012 that earned a huge box office and a huge internet fan base were the ones chosen by JR in this year's list. Movies with big names entered the list like The Hunger Games, The Avengers, Spider-Man, and Twilight. Some movies which may have not earned a lot in the box office but earned a lot of praises from the internet community like Zero Dark Thirty, Django Unchained, and Les Miserables entered the list. Abraham Lincoln did good this year as his movie Lincoln and Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter stays in the top 10. Tim Burton enters two movies in the list - Dark Shadows and Frankenweenie. Which leads us to action being the genre of the year with 11 entries this year. Animation is not that good this year with only two of them in this year's list - Brave and Frankenweenie. This year belongs to James Bond as his movie Skyfall is listed at #1 in this year's edition of the Top 20 Movies. JR now unveils the Top 20 Movies of 2012.

In 1865, as the American Civil War winds inexorably toward conclusion, U.S. president Abraham Lincoln endeavors to achieve passage of the landmark constitutional amendment which will forever ban slavery from the United States. However, his task is a race against time, for peace may come at any time, and if it comes before the amendment is passed, the returning southern states will stop it before it can become law. Lincoln must, by almost any means possible, obtain enough votes from a recalcitrant Congress before peace arrives and it is too late. Yet the president is torn, as an early peace would save thousands of lives. As the nation confronts its conscience over the freedom of its entire population, Lincoln faces his own crisis of conscience -- end slavery or end the war.

But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet-or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy...until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Bouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better...
