Movies 2011

Happy New Year!

It won't be long until the nominations come out for the Oscars. While I'm waiting, it's time to review my list for Movies 2011. I am surprised to have to admit that the list of movies that I wish I had seen is much longer than any of my other lists...I missed about 25 movies over 2011 (a lot of them are still in the theater right now, so I'm hoping to catch up on a few). Otherwise, here are my lists in these categories:

Top 10 - Loved it!
Terrible 10 - Yuck!
Guilty Pleasures - Maybe not classics, but I liked them anyway...
