My favorite movie released in 2013 was either Gravity or The Heat. A good year for Sandra Bullock. Notable movies from previous years that I saw for the first time in 2013: Winter's Bone, Hotel Terminus, Red Beard, Good Morning, Calamity Jane, The Uninvited, Letter from an Unknown Woman, Dead of Night, Caged.
Another one that I liked was "After the Fox." It's not hysterically funny, but it has a great premise and some of the scenes are very amusing. Some of it is surreal. Peter Sellers is great as usual and I've developed another layer of respect for the talents of Victor Mature.
