The movie discussion thread

I see, like, close to a hundred movies a year. Trying to recall everything I saw from 2011 and then picking the 5 that I thought were the best could take some time, so I'll have to get back to you.

That is hard Akbar, I hope you have your own list in mind. Here is mine from 2011 in no order

The Artist (Just refreshing to see this type of movie made,
Hugo (Big fan of Scorsese , so a little bias came in here)
Drive (The Most Underrated film that year)
Warrior (I was really surprised on this since I just walked in after seeing Drive)
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (Liked the other version better but this one was still great to me.)

As a bonus, best animated film

Kung Fu Panda 2 (Original wasn't good, but this was surprising in a slow year for this category, 2012 has been much better)

I loved The Artist as well surprisingly, and I thought the women carried the film but most people gave all the plaudits to the dude.

Drive underrated? Maybe by Oscars but not by people and film websites in general I reckon.

and hmm Interestinggg, all your films came out pretty late in the year

And quickly before I run out for Uni.

-A Separation
-Drive
-Midnight in Paris
-Melancholia
-Senna (A hero of mine, big F1 fan, he died when I was 1 day old, such a great documentary)

That's what I met when I said underrated, by the Academy.

To be fair, Drive and Warrior came out in the middle of the year. And A Separation just barely missed out for me, but it was the best foreign film just like Amour will win that oscar this year.

A separation was really something else, such good drama in that film.
