Definition of eternity? Waiting for Blu-ray log on - and 5 films I'd recommend from 2013

I certainly did not give the Israeli documentary The Gatekeepers a fair trial - I was supertired and fell asleep for a while; when I wanted to pick up and watch it again, turned blue-ray back on, and of course am at the beginning of the long sequence of trailers - Sony Pictures is absolutely the worst offender - 15 minutes of trailers is like an eternity (after the 5 minute blu-ray log in) - we have geniuses who can put a device in our pocket that can navigate us around the entire planet but no one can figure out how to skip over the ads at the beginning of a DVD? Anyway, The Gatekeepers might be a great movie for someone who closely follows Israeli politics, but since I knew nothing about the men being interviewed and little about the various historical events alluded to, the film did not contain for me any great revelations: I have always assumed that the Israeli secret police is ruthless, efficient, amoral, and totally effective - and what choice do the Israelis have, despite the blunders of the Begin era and the idiotic settling of the West Bank - they are still surrounded by enemies, who are supported by Arab thug fake princes who want nothing more than for their impoverished and oppressed masses to blame it all on the Jews. A hopeless situation, it seems - but despite all that not a very gripping movie (Israelis might feel the same way about the similar American film, The Fog of War, which I found moving and troubling). So with that said, I will take a moment to respond to query from friend PM: how many movies to I see a year? To date this year, it's 31, so I can estimate about 60 a year, which to me doesn't seem like a lot, not even enough, considering all the great ones huddled helplessly toward the bottom of my Q. And then PM asks, so what would I recommend? I do a 10 best at the end of the year, and looking now at the half-way point is not exactly a prediction of the top 5 on my list - there are some from that I saw during the first half of the year that will make my best list but I won't necessarily recommend to all - classics and unconventional films, for the most part. But for 5 films I've seen this year I'd recommend to general movie-goers, shooting for some variety in the mix:

Much Ado About Nothing - best Sh. adaptation I've ever seen, maybe
Zero Dark Thirty - an excellent thriller that feels almost like a you-are-there documentary
The Loneliest Planet - beautiful to look at and though slow at times very real and vivid about human relationships, a very honest film that will surprise you. Almost totally unknown and unwatched I think.
Searching for Sugarman - a terrific documentary about a lost, legendary rock musician, a story about the music industry and about fame and reputation - great
Best ExoticMarigold Hotel - not my kind of movie, but as good as it gets for this type of feel-good comedy of manners about mature adults
