2011 so far

By: CJ Roy

This will become a Top Ten later on but as of now it is a record of the films I have seen this year. This is Not a Film and Hugo are the only masterpieces I have seen so far, that will probably change at some point. These are all the the films I have given at least a 4 so you can see a rough idea of a top ten if I had to choose now.

I feel I can’t finalize this list until I see a few more crucial films. War Horse, A Dangerous Method, Carnage, The Turin Horse, The Three Musketeers and Meek’s Cutoff are high on this list.


Sure, it’s an emotional film about filmmaking and freedom, it would be high on my list just for that alone. Where it really sets its mark however is in its analysis of the truth and reality cinema portrays. The final sequence will resonate in me for as long as I live. This is Not a Film by Mojtaba Mirtahmasb and Jafar Panahi


Took me far too long to see a Hong film. Extremely warm and fun while simultaneously revealing the selfish aspects of the ‘good guy’. The Day He Arrives by Hong Sang-soo


First Johnnie in a theater, a moment to remember. Life Without Principle by Johnnie To


Song of the year? Without by Mark Jackson

Good list. I'm especially pleased to see the Fincher, Malick and Eastwood films on here. I'm highly looking forward to 'The Day He Arrives', 'This is Not a Film', 'House of Tolerance' and 'Contagion'.

    I think J. Edgar will get the respect it deserves a few years from now once people can step away from the silly criticisms of how factual it may be. I hope so anyways.

Brilliant selection, some of my most anticipated 2011 films are on there: This is Not a Film; Play; House of Tolerance; Take Shelter. Maybe I should also give Kill List a try which appears to be more than a mere horror flick.

    I enjoyed the four you mentioned quite a bit. I think House of Tolerance will rise up my list once I get to watch it again since the 3 to 7 section is pretty interchangeable at the moment.

    Kill List surprised me quite a bit as well, I did not expect it to be so effective since all I heard going in was that it was extremely graphic.
