Title: DTF Movie of the Year 2011: Round 1
Post by: Accelerando on January 05, 2012, 12:45:59 PM
I was going to do a count-down list of the top 20 movies I saw in 2011, but then I decided that it might be more fun to get the entire forum involved. So I am stealing this idea from Nick's   DTF Album of the Year 2011  (https://www.dreamtheaterforums.org/boards/index.php?topic=30287.0) thread (which yall should be participating as well)


Post your top films of the year. You may include up to 10 films in your list. Post in this format

1. film
2. film
3. film


****Please do not include any straight to home entertainment releases. These feature films should have had a theatrical release or had some sort of distribution in the film festival market in the 2011

I like Nick's point system, so ill steal that as well:
Your number one film will get 10pts, second film will get 9pts, third film 8pts, etc, etc, etc


Please re-edit your list if you wish to make changed. Do not repost a new list.


This round will end at 12am on 1/13/2012


That's Friday The 13th...I gotta make some sort of film jest, right?  :xbones


Edit: Be advise, this doesn't have to be an Academy Award winning list. It's almost impossible to see every movie that is released in a year. Ticket prices are miserable.  So just post the films that you saw this year , even if it's 3 or 4.

Here's a comprehensive list, by the way. Mouse over the dates for more titles.

https://www.movieinsider.com/movies/-/2011/

Anyway...

1. Thor
2. Captain America
3. Deathly Hallows

I just realized those are the only movies I saw in 2011. Oh well.

10. Transformers 3
11.Green Lantern

But I don't watch much in theaters, and there's a fair amount of movies I'm sure would radically shake up this list once I see them.

I really hate ranking and I still need to see the goddamn muppets but this is what I got so far (will likely edit):


1. Pariah
2. The Skin I Live In
3. The Artist
4. Deaf Jam
5. Never Make it Home
6. Midnight in Paris
7. Melancholia
8. The Help
9. The Descendants

1. Drive
2. Warrior
3. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
4. Source Code
5. The Adventures of TinTin: The Secret of the Unicorn

Going with these 5. I have seen more, but I don't want to nominate movies like Thor, Captain America or Green Lantern (which I felt were pretty mediocre movies), and I'd rather keep it at just 5 then.
There are still a few movies I've heard good things about and been meaning to see, movies on my list: Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Moneyball for example.

4. Drive
5. Sherlock Holmes: Game of Shadows
6. X-Men: First Class
7. Rubber
8. Cowboys and Aliens
9. Harry Potter
10. Captain America

Pretty meh year for me (though there's a bunch I still need to see). Melancholia was the only thing that really hit me, the rest were just enjoyable watches but nothing special.

AW SHIT, I FORGOT RUBBER. Totally adding that to my list.

AW NO, I JUST REMEMBERED JULIA'S EYES. GOD DAMMIT

Edit: Done. Also, Rubber reminded me of Julia's eyes because the cinema I used to work for was advertising Rubber in a big leaflet thing we had about Julia's Eyes.

It had a very good premise, but whoever wrote the script just absolutely refused to take it anywhere interesting. Same with whoever wrote Insidious. It failed from the "Meh, good enough *shrugs shoulders*" effect.

Oh, I also forgot to put Hanna on my list. While I enjoyed that film, I'm not entirely sure I'd normally put it on my 'best of' list for a year, but it was 2011, so on it goes. I would certainly recommend it for an enjoyable viewing experience.
