Our Top 10 Favorites of 2011

RYAN: Happy New Year!! In the next few months we get to enjoy all the awards shows we love, including the one we vote for – The Critics’ Choice Movie Awards.

CAROLINE: I’m so thrilled for you that you’re attending again this year. It’s truly a highlight in glamor. And statistically, as a part of the Broadcast Film Critics Association, as a group, we tend to be the most accurate predictors of the Oscars… both nominees and winners.

RYAN: The Golden Globes and SAG awards are super fun too.

CAROLINE: Oh honey, I love it all. It’s the most wonderful time of the year. And a cause to celebrate with Rice Krispies treats.

RYAN: Always! Here are my favorite 5 films of the year:

CAROLINE: My 5 favorite films of 2011, and I admittedly haven’t seen them everything that came out yet, but sue me, I have a baby at home, are:

1. The Descendants
2. The Help
3.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
4. Bridesmaids
5. The Artist

CAROLINE: I’d also like to give honorable mention to a few movies that may not be on the Oscar level, but that I thoroughly enjoyed nonetheless: The Lincoln Lawyer – make fun of me if you will, but I really liked it and it would make a great rental; The Other Woman with Natalie Portman, which totally moved me; and Win Win, that wrestling movie with Paul Giamatti that came out in the spring. Actually, Win Win could almost be award worthy; it had really good acting.

RYAN: I’ll go ahead and add The Debt, for the intensity and performances by Jessica Chastain, Sam Worthington and Helen Mirren. It’s not getting much recognition but is a very well done film that’s super entertaining. And then I’d throw in The Adventures of Tintin just for the fun of it.
