Clint's Top 20 Films of 2011
20.05.12

Saw a lot of nasty stuff this year – mauled animals, exploding petrol tankers, wild storms, supersized Target underwear.. . Taylor Lautner movies. But enough about “Abduction”, because for every tummy ache comes a welcome aspirin and the remedies were readily available this year. From Refn’s  Reagan-era ode “Drive” to Scorsese’s 3D-done-right gem “Hugo” and surprisingly effective Hollywood fare like “Crazy Stupid Love” and “Footloose”, there’s been as much good stuff as there has been Twili.. Bad. Talking, of course, about the films of 2011.
Here’s my favourite films of 2011 (Please Note : At the time of going to print I had yet to see “Alvin & The Chipmunks : Chipwrecked”, hence why it isn’t included in this list. Er, I’d also not seen “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”, “A Separation” or “The Artist” – which, I hear, come close to the brilliance of “Chipwrecked” too). Now, like any Top 10 or Top 20 favourites list, you’re likely to agree with many of the choices, but a few  - like, say, “Trust” or “Insidious” – may be met with a head-scratch. But these are my personal favourite films of the year – the films I enjoyed immensely and found much merit in. Suck on a soapy bubble wand if you don’t like my picks!
