A friend recently asked what films I would put in my top ten for 2011.

Generally, I tend to resist doing top tens (tho I’m told it’s good for driving traffic to one’s site), but since I went back and reviewed my mini-reviews for this friend, here is the list and the links to the films I rated four-five stars in 2011. There’s probably not much difference between five and four and a half stars; the four stars are a notch below, however.:

Five Stars:

A Separation (Click Here)

Moneyball (Here)

My Afternoons with Magueritte (Here)

My Week with Marilyn (Here)

Senna (Here)

Crime After Crime (Here)

Four and a Half Stars:

Four Stars:

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (not reviewed and not as good as the Swedish version but still worth the nine bucks)
