Favorite movie of 2011

J.J. Abrams was the writer-director of Super 8, Spielberg was a producer.

Although there was an excess of lens-flares, per usual, Abrams did a good job with all the kids into making an enjoyable movie.
Pretty suspenseful for a family film. I liked it.

 

Oh wow..completely mis-wrote that..I stand corrected..JJ did a excellent job with the story..Spielberg really brought it to life. That you for the correction Freman.

 

I'm going to go with a comedy movie. The previews made it look not so good but it truly is a hilarious movie. Ive watched it so many times I cant keep count. THe movie is Horrible Bosses. Its got good sexual humor.

 

Anyone seen the new Sherlock Holmes movie? Going to try to see it later this week.

 

I have a friend's dvd of that on my shelf.
Thanks for the positive boost. I'll definitely watch it much sooner, now.

 

I saw "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy". I read the book probably 25 years ago and had forgotten most of it. It's a damn good movie with some pretty interesting twists. Gary Oldman does more without saying a word or doing more than adjusting his glasses than I think any other actor I've ever seen. Best performance I've seen in a long time.

 

I look forward to hearing what you think of it Fremen.

 

For me: The Tree of Life. Loved it. X-Men: First Class was also quite good, but I'm an X-Men mark.

 

Senna documentary I think.

 

Hope to go see Sherlock Holmes. Didn't really love Super 8. I was one of the few who like Cowboys and Aliens even though it wasn't as good as I thought it would be.

 

The most satisfying move of the year for me was The Muppets. It was everything I was hoping for.

I just checked http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_in_film and of the ones I've seen, I'd have to say Fast 5 was my favorite.

 

Bridesmaids. I saw it at a $1 theater a few months ago, going just to score some points with the wifey. Funnest movie I have seen since Me, Myself, and Irene (Jim Carey). I had several instances of true uncontrolled laughter.

 

Bridesmaids with Kristen Wiig Very funny, watched it last week.

 

Another Earth. It stayed on my mind long after watching. Will never figure out the ending though, which presumably was by design.

 

I actually enjoyed Bridesmaids way more than I thought I would. I basically watched it because my fiance and her sister were watching it at my place. I half expected to get bored but I found myelf laughing throughout. I wouldn't say it was the funniest movie of the year by a long shot, but it way exceeded expectations.

 

mine was clearly twilight.

I would say super 8 - i only saw 5 minutes of it but it was pretty cool. Don't think I saw many movies in 2011...
