As we get into award season and more contenders start to be released, I thought I would let you know my current standings.
1) Moneyball (for the conviction and passion)
2) Tree of Life (beautiful, but not for everyone)
2) Drive (for the stylized character study and homage to the 80s)
3) The Help (for giving us the best villain of the year)
4) Anonymous (interesting story - well rounded film)
5) The Descendants (Simply authentic.)
6) 50/50 (for the funny lines, serious subject, and great music)
Deliciously anticipating...
- Take Shelter
- A Dangerous Method
- Flowers of War
- Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
- The Artist
- Shame
- Melancholia
Ides of March (simple, generic and trite)
What are the best movies you have seen to date? What are you looking forward to seeing?
Interesting picks Curiosity Buff! Moneyball just missed my list.
ReplyDeleteMy Top 5 so far in 2011:
5. Super 8. Squeaked into the Top 5 thanks to the awesome movie within the movie in the end credits.
4. Midnight in Paris. The year's best art house/movie snob flick.
3. Paul. The year's most underrated comedy, buried and left for dead at your local multiplex.
2. X-Men: First Class. The year's best prequel, best superhero flick and runner up for the year's best blockbuster to...
1. The Harry Potter Final. Maybe the first time a movie franchise started weak and ended strong. That may have required actual magic.
