Designer1 Posted December 10, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2011 Your Top 5 (in no particular order) and it's UK release date that counts, not original release. My five... Tyrannosaur Melancholia Submarine 13 Assassins Confessions All fantastic, all highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 13 Assassins is brilliantly bonkers . One of the best battle scenes ever committed to film ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briggaman Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I went over by one as I felt wrong not including these films. Therefore, mine is a top six and I'm a bit of a cheat. I also think 'The Artist' may be joing this list come the end of the year. I haven't seen it yet but it really does sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Designer1 Posted December 10, 2011 Author VT Supporter Share Posted December 10, 2011 The Guard and Drive (along with Snowtown) were amongst my 'bubbling under' choices. It's quite difficult to get it down to 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevMur Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Another vote for 'Drive'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 15, 2011 VT Supporter Share Posted December 15, 2011 I've seen so few new films this year, I can hardly produce a decent list. The top 5 films I've actually seen this year would be: Not sure all of these were strictly 2011 though as some I saw on blu-ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Apart from the dreadful Harry Potter with the wife , I've mainly seen films with the kids this year so for me it would have to be 1. Tin Tin 2. Yogi Bear 3. Alvin and the Chipmonks in Chipwreked 4. Kung Fu Panda 2 5.Mr Poppers Penguins FML ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSufferingVilla Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Best experience I had in the cinema this year, by far: The rest: No they weren't "Acclaimed" by art house critics. Nor are they considered "Important Motion Pictures". They don't even have Laurel Leaves like that Cedar Rapids flick but for my money they were the most entertaining.

Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Kings Speech for me. Could not fault it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briggaman Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Being a big X-Men fan, I was actually quite disappointed with the latest film. It was good, yet far from perfect. 'X2' was still the highlight of their films in my opinion. 'The King's Speech', 'Black Swan' and 'True Grit' were all last year aswell so stop cheating people!

theboyangel Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Apologies, if not all films were indeed released in 2011 - having a young family certainly trashes chances of going to the cinema so I have to rely on Lovefilm! In no particular order 1) Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy Makes glasses cool again!!! An acting film unreliant on special effects or gadgetry - just big heads on the big screen acting it out - awesome! 2) Submarine Great directorial debut by Richard Ayoade, a touching comedy with an outstanding performance by the mulletted Paddy Considine! 3) Cedar Rapids I never knew Insurance Conventions could be so much fun. Quality kooky comedy (and another great showing by John C Reilly!!!) 4) The Fighter Deserved all it's plaudits at the Oscars - a great film (watched eventually in September!!!!) 5) True Grit As per The Fighter - great return to form by the Coens, well shot and typically brilliant dialogue! 6) The Way Back Amazing tale of escapees from a Siberian Gulag walking to freedom to India - astonishing cinematography 7) The Animal Kingdom Aussie based family crime thriller - great performances, particularly the family patriach in a film that doesn't leave you with the feel good factor afterwards! 8) Morning Glory A rom-com (I know, I know) but a great comedic turn from Harrison Ford in a movie set around morning television! (The weather man story is worthy alone!) 9) The Secret In Their Eyes Argentinian thriller spanned across decades, following a prosecutor tracking down the murder of a young woman. The ending is jaw-dropping! 10) Buried How can a film about a man in a box keep you captivated for 90 minutes.....? this one can!!! Notable Mentions: Captain America Thor Bronson Red Hill Going The Distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
