Above are 15 random movies released in 2011. I took them from a list of popular or successful movies from that year.

Choose all the movies that you've seen from this list. Which is your favorite? Which did you hate? How would you rank the ones you have seen?

DISCUSS!

Oooo more this time!!

Deathly Hallows: Part II

I actually really like the HP series and I thought it was a great movie to close it out. Part one seemed like ground work for this one and it was a great ending I think.

Super 8:

I love this movie! Weird concept when I heard it came out, but I really like it. The dialogue between the kids is funny and the whole zombie movie.

War Horse:

My dad has made me watch this so many times. He says "you'll love it" or a similar yet quite different statement, "you love it why don't you want to watch it!" which is pretty false. It's a good movie, but I don't like it enough to watch it over and over.

Rise of the Apes:

I actually liked this one. Maybe it's the better graphics than the old ones, but it was far more entertaining to me. I haven't seen it in a while and it's not something I necessarily desire to see again, but I would if people were watching it and I'd enjoy it. I also want a pet monkey.

Bridesmaids:

I saw this with my sister...it was actually really funny and of course the bathroom scene. Can be summed up in one sentence

X-Men: First Class:

I've seen it once and have it on Blu Ray but I can't find it anywhere...not my favorite Xmen movie, but it was worth the first watch to understand some back story stuff. I love Xmen though.

Drive, Huge, Dragon Tattoo, Harry Potter, X-Men, Bridesmaids, Midnight in Paris, Tree of Life, Super 8!

Liked them all.
Particular love for Drive, Dragon, Tee of Life and Super 8!

Really enjoyed Bridesmaids too. No shame.

I saw The Help at Christmas get-together with a bunch of Mormons. I don't remember any of it, I was more amazed that they were watching it since they're incredibly racist.

Another batch of which I've only seen a handful. Deathly Hallows Part 2, Drive, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Bridesmaids, and X-Men First Class. I didn't dislike any of them, and didn't particularly love any of them more than the others. If I had to pick a favorite from the batch it would probably be Drive with X-Men: First Class being the runner up.

of the ones I've seen:

1. The Tree of Life. Probably a top 10 movie for me. And it has possibly the best cinematography I've seen in any movie

2. Drive. I think it was a bit overrated tbh, but still a great movie.

3. Bridesmaids. I went in expecting to hate it, but it's one of the funnier movies I've seen in the past few years

4. Moneyball. Nothing overly memorable, but really good performances and I love me some Sorkin dialogue

5. Rise of the Planet of the Apes. So much better than expected. Andy Serkis as Caesar was amazing

6. Super 8. Really unmemorable like most Abrams movies, but it was fun!

7. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I usually love Fincher's movies but this one was just really dull to me

8. The Help. Annoying

My list is pathetic. In no order:

Drive - The more I think about it, the more I like and appreciate it. I really love the soundtrack. Some scenes in particular really stuck with me

Super 8 - I'm a bit of a sucker for this movie. I love Abrams and I liked this a lot

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Like Boc said, surprised me and Serkis was awesome as always

...that's it! Apparently I did nothing in 2011

1. Super 8 - This one was my favorite movie for a while. The concept, the filmography, the writing, I loved everything about it.

2. The Help - Eat my shit.

3. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II - A beautiful and epic conclusion to the series.

4. Bridesmaids - You just have to love this movie.

5. Rise of the Planet of The Apes - Pretty good movie, not as good as the top four but it was still enjoyable.

6. X-Men: First Class - I saw a little bit of this movie, and it was pretty good.

I only Saw Deathly Hallows Part 2 and it was solely to watch the Dark Knight Rises trailer as I am no Harry Potter fan.

Saw part of Super 8 but not half of so I didn't click it
"So, uh, what are we saying here? If we save LA from a nuclear bomb, then you and I can get together for dinner and a movie?"
