Honestly, I didn't watch a whole lot of movies this year. So I'm looking for a list of recommendations on films I should be watching from 2011 as they make their way to DVD/Netflix/etc.
Any recommendations?

Life in a Day is a delightful compilation of clips from around the World, all shot on one day last year. The video version of A Day in the Life.
You can watch it here:

maybe not the best film I've seen, but this is the best scene I've seen in a long time

Not too many movies I liked in 2011. No good Irish flicks, and no good English flicks. I finally did watch human centipede 1 and 2 this weekend, pretty boring and not as disgusting as I thought.
My 2012 resolution is if the movie is not set in Boston, Belfast, or London, I am not watching it.

My must see film of 2011 premieres Christmas day - War Horse. The cinematography looks breathtaking. I don't anticipate going to a movie theater on Sunday, but with two equestrians in the family, just maybe.
I wanted to see Dolphin Tale, but didn't make it to the theater. Water For Elephants looked promising, but has too much of a love story intertwined to make it interesting.

Drive - It's like pulling a 90-mph, 270-degree spinout in a black Ford Mustang with a nameless stranger at the wheel - but this nameless guy isn't nameless, he's Ryan Gosling and he's the Driver, and it's a loud, violent, completely awesome action film about a movie stunt driver by day and getaway wheelman by night. And, it is the best film of the year!

Martha Macy May Marlene was one of the best I saw this past year. It is one of those movies that my wife utterly detested and I loved. It can be confusing to some (not me) and leaves you thinking in the end.
Comedy- 30 seconds or less is surprisingly hilarious
And I have been catching up on my action hero movies over my Holiday Break as I have watched Green Hornet, Thor, Captain America, & X-Men First Class in the last 3 days. I have a guilty pleasure for Comic Book Heroes.Posted 5 months ago # -
