Soon after, his sunroof starts caving in, but he manages to stop it from collapsing by using tape and a tire lock. He drinks his remaining water and regrets it instantly as it was all the water he had left. He draws a cross on the back of a seat and starts praying. Later, when water starts dripping through the cracks of the sunroof, Jackson makes a funnel out of one of his credit cards and props the empty water bottle below where the water is dripping from. He takes apart a camping chair and attempts to slide the pole through a small hole in the sunroof, but it doesn't work, so he scrunches up a newspaper to cover the hole.

2013 Films
The following tables list films released in 2013. Three popular films ('' Top Gun'', '' Jurassic Park'', and '' The Wizard of Oz'') were re-released in 3D and IMAX. Evaluation of the year Richard Brody of ''The New Yorker'' said, "The year 2013 has been an amazing one for movies, though maybe every year is an amazing year for movies if one is ready to be amazed by movies. It’s also a particularly apt year to make a list of the best films. Making a list is not merely a numerical act but also a polemical one, and the best of this year’s films are polemical in their assertion of the singularity of cinema, as well as of the art form’s opposition to the disposable images of television. The 2013 crop comprises an unplanned, if not accidental, collective declaration of the essence of the cinema, an art of images and sounds that, at their best, don’t exist to tell a story or to tantalize the audience (though they may well do so) but, rather, to reflect a crisis in the life of th ...
