Thanks to the wonderful fellas over at http://cinematicmethod.com I was inspired to do something I don't do very often: create a list, with a definite order, of films.
It's difficult to do it with favourites or even favourites within a genre but actually, considering 2011 has been so utterly dire in terms of film, it didn't take me long to run down a list of releases this year and out of the ones I have seen, produce a top 10 list of my favourite films of the year so far. So, purely for your idle entertainment here goes nothing:
1. Killer Elite
2. Red State
3. Source Code
4. Jane Eyre
5. Our Idiot Brother
6. Hobo with a Shotgun
7. 50/50
8. Super
9. The Mechanic
10. Contagion
Runner Up: Midnight in Paris
Worst movie of the year: The Thing Remake/Prequel
