Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

Everyone list their best films of 2011. Lets say top 10 in order.

We will then allocate points, 10 points for first, 9 points for 2nd, 8 points for third etc etc. Maybe even give the top 3 films bonus points like 15 points for first, 12 for 2nd 10 for 3rd then 7,6,5,4,3,2,1.

Then in a few months when everyone has had a chance to see the films they want from 2011 and placed their votes we will write up a Top 10 list based on points allocation from everyones personal top 10 choices.

Much the same way a film magazine has a reader's top 100 list.

I would go first but there are a few films I'm still waiting to see.

Also if you want put your Worst 3 films and we will do a "razzies" for 2011.

Best:

1. The Artist
2. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
3. Carnage
4. Midnight in Paris
5. The Help
6. 50/50
7. Bellflower
8. Take Shelter
9. The Descendants
10. The Muppets


Worst:

1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
2. Terri
3. Thor

It's a bit early for normal people to make a definitive Best of Year List, as this side of the pond hasn't had a lot of releases that seem likely to make the cut. Not to mention time to see them all

I did say give it a few months to allow people to see everything. Say April ish. Besides you can always edit your post, before we do a final count of the votes.

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

1. The Artist
2. Melancholia
3. 13 Assassins
4. Black Swan
5. The Illusionist
6. Poetry
7. Incendies
8. Hugo
9. Drive
10. 50/50

As for the rest of the films of 2011, i couldnt care much about them. All I can say is that this is a crappy year for films.

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

BEST:

1. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
2. Super 8
3. The Descendants
4. Hugo
5. Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part II
6. The Help
7. Source Code

WORST:

1. Transformers: Dark of the Moon
2. Something Borrowed
3. Green Lantern

I'll have to work out that top ten soon, but there haven't been many other films this year that I've really liked. Though I still have to see Drive, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and The Artist.

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

Expect my "best of 2011" list some time in late 2012/early 2013.

So Far......

BEST
1. Paul
2. Gnomeo and Juliet
3. Tangled
4. Rango
5. Cars 2
6. Transformers 3 : Darkside of the moon
WORST
1. Sucker Punch
2. Super 8

Tell me about it! It can take me years sometimes to catch up. At the cinema I usually catch the big blockbusters, comedies and the last computer animated offerings from Pixar and Dreamworks etc. And then on DVD or TV I catch up with the rest.

As I said this could be a work in progress. There are still tons of films that I need to see from "last year"(2011) so I expect that it will be quite a while before I write my definative top 10. See if we can start to put together a list based on everyones choices by say late spring/summerish. I'm sure that most people will have seen the films "worth" seeing by then.

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

It's really early for a 2011 list, but:

1. The Descendants
2. The Artist
3. Hangover Part 2
4. Midnight in Paris
5. Cowboys and Aliens

and no, I wasn't a huge fan of #5....just haven't seen much.

Void.

Are they not 2011? I was pretty sure they were. If not, my appologies, I will re-pick then.

Just change Season of the Witch to 127 hours. And don't worry about the Worst List them.

If they ARE 2011 and you said Void becuase you didn't like my choices, then don't switch them out because I personally LIKED Season of the Witch and would like it to remain on my 2011 list.

Oh and I put the pts system as 10 being the BEST TOP # so if you didn't understand the list it's:
1. Soul Surfer (BEST)
2. Trespass (2nd BEST)
3. Adjustment Bureau (3rd BEST...)
4. HPDH P2
5. Battle: LA
6. Grave Encounters
7. The Reef
8. Trust
9. Paul
10. Season of the Witch

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

Nope, I was just saying void as Season of the Witch was atrocious. Though if you want to get technical it has been sat on the shelf for some years, most likely for reason mentioned already :)

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

127 Hours I'm pretty sure is 2010 as well

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

Lol it couldn't have sat on your shelf for some years becuase it's only been out for like ONE year. Well, the good and bad thing about opinions is that everyone has different ones; You find it atrocious and I find it good. Obviously as on my list of top 10 movies it's #10 only earning 1 point--Meaning the 9 above it I like MORE.

Pyro Tramp, lol, it's not my top 10 list of my life-time. Just for 2011 alone. :)

Don't worry, I know you're not arguing with me--I'm not arguing back. :cool:
Just simply having a rant-on-about. :p

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

Not sat on MY shelf, sat completed on the studios shelf before they wanted to release it.

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

Source Code was a very underrated movie. I've noticed it in a few top-10's which surprises and delights me in the same instance. Maybe I'm just fond of Jake Gyllenhaal :/

Just seen "Warrior", great movie. Would defo make my top 10 somewhere.

Need to see or re-watch (re-watch; mostly films I watched on an airplane):
The Artist, The Flowers of War, Shame, The Adventures of Tintin, Batman: Year One, A Separation, The Descendants, The Adjustment Bureau, T.J. Miller: No Real Reason, Larry Crowne, Contagion, Kill List, Human Planet, Tyrannosaur, The Tree of Life, J. Edgar, The Skin I Live In

My Favorite 2011 Movies:
Real Steel
The Adjustment Bureau
Source Code
The Descendants
Midnight in Paris
Moneyball
The Sunset Limited
Take Shelter
Another Earth
Hop
Mr. Popper's Penguins

Re: Can we do a Movie Forums Best Films list 2011?
 

The Skin I Live In
The Help
Killer Joe
A Separation
Source Code
Drive
Rango
Bridesmaids
The Eagle

Just seen The Descendants, excellent cinematography of gorgeous filming locations. Well acted by a good looking cast. Touching story with a subtle twist. It's the overall subtlety throughout the film that makes it so engaging. Requires the right mood and some patience. I would say top ten of 2011 for sure.
