"Holy Motors"
Cahiers du Cinema has released its Top 10 Films of 2012, and it's appropriately eclectic, with Leos Carax's berserk "Holy Motors" topping the list. David Cronenberg's "Cosmopolis," Miguel Gomes' "Tabu" and Hong Sang-Soo's "In Another Country" also make the cut. Jeff Nichols' 2011 poetic, apocalyptic "Take Shelter" also represents, as does Francis Ford Coppola's "Twixt" and Abel Ferrara's "4:44 Last Day on Earth." Full list below.

Check out our TOH! review of "Holy Motors" here.

    Forget about Kodak and Fuji not making film stock. I wish BASF was making high-quality reel-to-reel audio tape on which to record the sound of laughter in my household at the sight of not one, but TWO, deeply disappointing Abel Ferrara films occupying slots on the Cahiers "10 Best" list.

    Loved the list and Holy Motors and Tabu. Absolutely great!

    Not a pretentious/poor list at all...... Not even Rex Reed or Armond White could have been this "creative".

    Cahiers du Cinema is the worst
