Looking at your list I realise that I seem to have missed most of the major films of last year!
Errr... I'll have to have a think about what I actually did see.... did I see anything? haha
Oh.. Troll Hunter.. that's definitely one for my list!

The two stand out for me are:
We Need to Talk about Kevin
Tree of Life
Also quite liked Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
Sure there are more, but I need to think about it a bit.

I would love to have seen Tyrannosaur but I don't think it played on more than a few screens in the US.  I'd also love to see Tree of Life, Meek's Cutoff and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (among a lot of other things)... I only saw Midnight in Paris and Rango (which were fun), plus I caught The King's Speech on the big screen and the Coen Brothers' True Grit on DVD (both of which I loved).  |

That's the great thing about posting on here about every film I see. Acts as a diary of sorts. I even had to google some of the titles to remind me what they were.
I only included 2011/late 2010 releases. Two films that made a big impact on me last year were Distant Voices, Still Lives and The Long Day Closes. Stunning works of art. Thanks to Jill who lent me the DVDs. I shall be purchasing my own copies asap.

I didn't have time to scroll back and I'm useless at remembering (all the years roll into one don't they). I know there are more, so I'll edit my post at some point. On TD, I also liked The Deep Blue Sea. I also kind of liked Red Riding Hood, a bit odd, but nicely done, I thought. On the other hand Blue Beard was disappointing. Missed The Arbor (was that 2011? Think so). From the reviews I've read, including on here, it sounds really good.

OK, have now trawled back through the film thread. Scary experience-there's stuff on there, I can't remember a single thing about already  The only thing I'd add to 2011 best is Cave of Forgotten Dreams. Not sure if it's really 'proper' to add stuff seen for the first time in 2011 that was made before (long before in some cases). Probably not, but anyway.... Watched a lot of Iranian films...the best of which were: The Apple, Blackboards and Turtles Can Fly ..and documentaries. The best: Taxi to the Dark Side, The Devil's Miner, Why We Fight. And other excellent films I'd missed until now: Happiness The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane Blind Shaft The Maid Waltz with Bashir ( I can't get my head around categorisng this as a documentary. Whatever it is, it's brilliant). |
