some of my favorites:

Rubber
Captain America
Bellflower
Another Earth
Bunraku

I really liked 50/50. Think it was the best one I've seen all year.

I have heard good things about 50/50, but I never got around to seeing it.

I thought X-men: first class was awful. I found harry potter to be really mediocre, which was disappointing because the previous half was probably the strongest film. I thought that Hobo with a Shotgun was really meh, as well. I did like Ides of March, Source Code, and Scream 4 though.

I'm sure theres a lot more.

X-Men First Class

And uhh...sure, I guess Harry Potter. I've been mentally comparing the HP movies more to each other and the books rather than other movies I saw.

I don't entirely remember which films I've seen this year, but I haven't seen much. X-Men: First Class was my favorite. Winnie the Pooh was good too, didn't like Kung Fu Panda 2.

Harry Potter and The Muppets basically

"Yet here we are, shaking our booties..."

Warrior is definitely the best one that I saw this year. Harry Potter, X-Men and Horrible Bosses were great too.

--
Not today

Harry Potter was the only movie I saw in theatres I'm pretty sure.

--
XBL / PSN: lol im ahkmed

Only one I went to see was Thor.

Of course, even without seeing it (because it's not out here for a few more months for some reason) I know that the best film of the year is The Muppets.

--
"I'm Commander Shepard, and you're standing in the biggest library in Citadel Space. Look me up."

Thor was another film I liked, but didn't quite make it onto my arbitrary list of 7 or so films itt

I think the only movie I've even seen released this year is X-Men First Class. I guess it wins by default.

"Principally I hate and detest the animal called man, although I heartily love John, Peter, Thomas and so forth" - Jonathan Swift
BT with the victory!

Let's see... saw Moneyball, Harry Potter, Contagion, Cowboys & Indians, and Friends with Benefits.

Cowboys & Indians was by far the worst. None of them were fantastic. Best part of Contagion was watching people leave the theater while trying to avoid touching anything after watching.

--
Chex Warrior (Chex Quest) for CB2011

Thor. That was so great

--
We are thought, and reality, and concept, and the unimaginable

Oh, I saw Thor as well. Knew I was missing something. That was pretty good too.

Hobo With A Shotgun, Killer Elite, Drive, X-Men: First Class, Fast 5, Scream 4, Drive Angry 3D, Red State, The Muppets, and the Green Hornet are my top 10 this year.

Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword

i think it officially came out in the last week of 2010 in limited release, so you can call it 2010 or 2011. i usually lump movies/albums/books released late in december in with the next year's list of releases.


--
ICON:
Can I kick it?

That's bulls***, icon, and you know it.

It came out last year.

I move to have all of icon's 2011 favorites stricken from the record.

McDonald's > San Francisco
Count this city's lawmakers as the latest among the billions and billions served.

between the two of us, I am the list expert. you should be deferring to me here! anything released in the last few weeks -- hell, all of december -- is passed over in EOY lists because you either haven't had enough time to reflect on it in relation to the rest of your list or, more common, you simply haven't experienced it before starting your list!


--
ICON:
Can I kick it?

The Muppets, Troll Hunter, Attack the Block, Drive, The Skin I Live In...

I guess Melancholia was okay.

EDIT: Oh yeah, and Hanna.

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as you ever can.

List experts are not real things.

I, therefore, accept your resignation.

If it means anything to you, I honestly appreciated your contributions but they are no longer considered canon in cyclo's "What were your favorite films this year?" topic series.

If we are to remain friends, you won't post again.

--
Congratulations to Rafael Nadal on a Career Golden Slam. - The Mana Sword

X-Men: First Class, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and Hugo were the stand-outs to me. Some others I really liked though, such as Harry Potter.

Worst was definitely Sucker Punch.

The Help most definitely my #1. Surprised and disappointed it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Just missing the cut is Harry Potter Deathly Hallows Part 2 and Drive I guess.

Oh, and a tier below those is X-Men: First Class and Rise of the Planet of the Apes

I've come to the realization that I need a sig.

Ok, I defer to you.

Now, help me with this list, please.

--

Captain America, Horrible Bosses, and The Adjustment Bureau were my favorites.

I had fun going to see Sucker Punch and Red Riding Hood. They weren't fantastic films or anything but I had a good time seeing them.

blue valentine technically opened at the VERY end of 2010 in the US, but whatever, it can count. Nobody outside of NY/LA actually saw it in 2010.

EDIT: also according to imdb, it didn't open in canada until 2011!

I agree, cyclo, that it was unfortunate we had to ban icon from this topic series.

But rules are rules.
