Top Films of 2011

Here's my picks for 2011! What a great year it's been for movies.


1. The Muppets
I cried tears of joy. Like, for realz. Also worth mentioning that Amy Addams had a great wardrobe that I intend to steal for 2012.
2. Drive
Believe it or not, I don't have a crush on The Goz. He always seems a little simple to me (like Gump simple). However this movie was unexpectedly awesome and the soundtrack is great. A real huuuman beeeeing AND a real heeroooo...


3. The Woman
Controversial as heck, and not a film I'd recommend to just anyone, but Lucky McKee's The Woman was top notch black comedy/ satire.
4. Tucker and Dale Vs Evil
Most clever, funny horror/comedy movie I've seen in a very long time.


5. Being Elmo: A Puppeteers Journey
A must see for Henson/Muppet fans. Surprisingly emotional.


6. Submarine
Very funny underrated film that reminded me a lot of Harold and Maude.
7. Rango
Interesting style of animation, very grotesque (in a good way!). Great storyline and cool cameos.
8. Cedar Rapids
Another great, underrated dark comedy.


9. Winnie the Pooh
Very funny, classic Pooh bear story with a nice soundtrack by Zooooey with the extra o's.


10. Tree of Life
Beautiful, with dinosaurs! I would have actually enjoyed the long version of Tree Of Life, I feel like I could have watched it for six hours. 


Also worth a mention was Paranormal Activity 3, which was surprisingly great! Directed by the Catfish guys, the film contains some great set design and an actual sheet-ghost!
