My Favorite Movies of 2011
1. Midnight in Paris. I don’t know why I loved this, I just did. It was a fun story and a beautiful look at the city itself.
2. Buck. Documentary about Buck Brannaman, the “horse whisperer”. I saw it at the Nashville Film Festival. I was glad to see it got a somewhat wide release over the summer.
3. Hugo. I went into this movie knowing little about it. I also went to the 3D version, even though I rarely think 3D is worth it. 3D was worth it for this movie. Loved the story, and loved how it was sort of a love letter to the movies.
4. Beginners. Another great story (obviously I tend to like movies with good stories).
5. Tree of Life. I thought the first part (the creation of the earth) was a little bit slow, but beautiful. Once it gets to the story of the family, it picks up. I’m pretty sure I don’t understand what half of it was supposed to mean, but that’s what made it good. Lots to think about afterwards.
