  1. My favorite films from 2011 are (in no particular order):

    -Rango

    -Hanna

    -Bridesmaids

    -Midnight in Paris

    -The Tree of Life

    -Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2

    -Crazy, Stupid, Love

    -Drive

    -Moneyball

    -The Artist

    This list doesn't represent my thoughts on good the films were, just how enjoyable I found them to be. While making this list I also realized I missed quite a few interesting movies this year.

    Oh, and ditto to your list for most anticipated films in 2012.
