At long last, here are my favourite films of 2011. If you asked me earlier, I would have said that it was a weak year for film. In the past few weeks though, I caught up with some wonderful smaller films which changed my perception. I gave my 5-star rating to 30 films in total. It was really tough to choose my #1 this year, as I loved "A Separation" and "Moneyball" with equal gusto. I finally decided on "A Separation" as it accomplishes so much for such a minimalist production (there isn’t even a single note of music in the film). So here's my top 30, starting with my #1 - "
A Separation".
A Separation
Moneyball
The Help
Bridesmaids
Contagion
Attack the Block
Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Great list. I still need to see Attack The Block and A Better Life from your top ten, but can't disagree with any of your other selections. I also like that you have quite a mix of different genres represented!
ReplyDeleteThanks, I try not to discriminate against genres. I love dramas, but I definitely appreciate a good action/comedy film. Do you normally do a year's best list?
ReplyDeleteIt's actually my first year blogging, so I haven't decided whether to do one yet. Will definitely be after the Oscars though, since my "viewing year" runs from March to February instead of January to December.
DeleteAaaah, yay for A Separation.
