Quentin Tarantino's Top 10 Films of 2011 (What Are Yours?)
It’s film awards season (here’s an ongoing scorecard), which also makes it a good time to reflect on your personal favorites from the past year. I wish Netflix would let me sort the films I’ve rated by the date I rated them, which would allow me to provide an easy answer to “seen anything good lately?” Even this very handy script does not allow that. But I have some issues with Netflix, and this post is not about them but about Quentin Tarantino, who recently shared his own personal top 10 movies from 2011:
- 1. Midnight In Paris
- 2. Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes
- 3. Moneyball
- 4. The Skin I Live In
- 5. X-Men: First Class
- 6. Young Adult
- 7. Attack The Block
- 8. Red State
- 9. Warrior
- 10. The Artist / Our Idiot Brother (tie)
- 11. The Three Musketeers
Okay, so it was a top twelve, really. I haven’t yet seen all of these, but I would definitely have Contagion, Margin Call, Martha Marcy May Marlene, and Beginners in my own personal top 10. What about you?

ouch, this post made my head hurt.
it was called a top 10, but then it was actually a top 11, and then the blogger said it was in fact a top 12..-

“The blogger” said it was a top 12 because there are 12 films on the list. Why does your head hurt?

It would be nice to see Hobo with a Shotgun on some lists. It really stood out to me anyways.
