[re-upload from the now defunct wanderingimage tumblr January 2013]
my personal favorite moments from films to receive a 2012 U.S. release. Not all of which made my actual “Best Films of 2012” list, but at least had incredible segments that stayed with me since first viewing. Scenes that I’m sure I’ll want to re-visit again and again.
