Favorite Movies: 2011

It is time for round two of my end of the year (beginning of the year?) recap of pop culture. In 2011 I watched a lot of movies. Some were great, several were alright, and there were some that were so bad that I will deny having seen them. What follows is my list of my favorites.

These are movies that:

• I saw for the first time in 2011.
• Entertained me more than any other movies I saw last year.
• Were not necessarily made or released in 2011.
• Are not necessarily the best movies of 2011.
• Are listed in no particular order.

So, here is my list of the top 10.

• The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
• Cyrus
• The Wrestler
• True Grit
• Secretariat
• The Rat Pack
• Bottle Rocket
• Get Low
• Black Swan
• The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
