My favorite 10 of 2011
I started to list my favorite 10 but realized that most movies are either crap or not personally meaningful to me. So, I'll stop with 5 for this year.
Edit: went back to 10... looks like it was not too bad after all! I plan to watch two more movies and then fill the last slot.
