I really loved Hugo. Saw it in 3-D, too.
A beautiful film.

I'd love to see the rest of the films on this list as well. Some of them I have seen and enjoyed (The Tree of Life, Another Year, Bridesmaids, etc.) But so many I haven't.

Oh well, at least my personal favorite movie of the year (13 assassins) made the list.

Seriously though, I'm a movie nerd and I'd only heard of about half of those, and seen maybe a quarter. The writer was clearly trying to go as obscure as possible.

bob_ross: 50 eh? Wasn't that like, all of them?

No Bob, there was actually 52 movies made, but 2 of them went straight to video.

Mark Ratner: FishyFred: Mark Ratner: Thanks for the tip. I like mostly anything to do with outer space and futuristic movies so I'll have to check it out, even though I've never heard of it. 2001 was pretty cool, but the deal with the monkeys seemed out of place to say the least. Oh, and the light show at the end was neat looking, but I was like Wtf?

Um... I cannot guarantee your Tree of Life viewing experience will be a good one.

No way, brahski. Movies about outer space are like pizza. Some are better than others, but they're all good.

The Tree of Life is not about outer space but has some of the best astrophysics porn I've seen. The dinosaur shots.... not so much. But it really has its beautiful moments. I'd say it's a pretty sad movie overall.

As others have said, nothing I've seen, and very few I've even heard of.

Not that I see more than 1 or 2 per year in the theaters, but none seem like the type of movies I'd even like much.

Haven't seen Dragon Tattoo or Tintin yet but here's my top 10

The Eagle
Rango
Attack the Block
Warrior
Super 8
Hugo
Muppets
Mission: Impossible 4
Captain America
Drive, best I've seen this year

On any given day I never know which FARK I'm going to get in the Entertainment tab. Apparently today is the movie equivalent of the "I don't even own a TV" day.

Well, when the link seems to be the movie version of 'today on Masterpiece Theatre', you're going to get a lot a 'WTF is this?' comments.

HappyThankYouMorePlease we really enjoyable
I suggest checking out the trailer

"Goddammit so much for inline'ing every HD youtube trailer for each movie."

Agreed. Just because you can do a thing doesn't mean you should. I think a better route would've been a text link to the preview on YouTube

It's very rare that I get excited about seeing a new movie anymore. There were more good movies being made a few years ago, IMO.

doglover: W. T. Fark: /yeah I know, doesn't mean they're not the "best"

I mean watch Drive Angry. It's a steaming pile.

Agreed. That movie sucked harder than I'd thought possible. Then I saw Rampart and realized this style apparently passed for good.

That was an Artsy-Fartsy list, with an emphasis on the Fartsy.

It was run on a disappointingly low number of screens, but anyone who has the chance should get out and see Martha Marcy May Marlene. Elizabeth Olsen's performance is haunting, if for no other reason than seeing genuine talent come out of that family. If she keeps it up, there could easily be an Oscar in her future

SilentStrider: I REALLY want to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. I have heard great things about that movie. Not to mention the cast list is amazing.

Another remake. You might check your local library for the Obi Wan Kenobi mini-series.

I didn't like "Attack The Block" because the characters were punks, I was actually rooting for the aliens to kill them.

FishyFred: 31. Cave of Forgotten Dreams
3-D skeptics might have to rethink their stance after witnessing Werner Herzog's stunning tour of the oldest cave drawings ever found.

I'm still a skeptic, but it was absolutely the best use of 3-D I've seen yet.

I only saw it in the 2D, but it was fascinating.

robsul82: Drive - numero uno.

I wouldn't call it the best movie of 2011 but it definitely had the best soundtrack.

robsul82: Drive - numero uno.

I feel like I'm the only man on earth who doesn't think that was a great movie. Didn't anybody else walk out of the theater thinking "Well... what was THERE was good, but where the hell was the rest of it?" I mean, it was artsy and I liked it and I can't say anything bad about the casting or performances or the soundtrack or the direction... but it just felt like there were huge gaps in the narrative. It was 100 minutes long, felt like 80, and seemed like it needed another 30 minutes to tell what happened between the scenes we saw.

To be clear, I have no problem with the [VERY MINOR SPOILER] ambiguous ending [/SPOILER], it was the entire narrative of the movie that felt half-done. Pretty much the entire 2nd and 3rd acts seemed like they were coming out of nowhere (and the first act seemed to set up an entirely different plot).
