2011 was a great year in movies, and looking back through my posts and NetFlix activity during the past year, I’ve watched 112 movies, by my count, since Jan. 1, 2011. That’s about two movies a week, give or take.
These movies include a wide variety of films that fit into a broad range of categories - action, animation, classics, comedy, comic book-themed, crime, drama, fantasy, horror, martial arts, mystery, science fiction, sports, suspense, sword and sorcery, war and westerns.
Which would be my favorite movie of the year? That’s a hard question to answer, but if I could watch only one of these movies again it would be “The Hangover II.”
Aside from “The Hangover II,” here are some of my other favorites by category:
Animation/Family – Rango (2011)
Classics - The French Connection (1971)
Comedy - 30 Minutes or Less (2011)
Science Fiction/Fantasy - Super 8 (2011)
Sports - The Fighter (2010)
Suspense/Horror - Insidious (2011)
In any event, here’s a list of all the movies I watched during the past year. Which would you say was your favorite? (Maybe it’s one that’s not on the list.) Which of the movies below did you like or dislike and why? Let us know in the comments section below.
