Eric's 2011 Movie List

Overall a really good year for flicks. The only movie I really loved was The Artist, but there are plenty that are aaaaallllmost to that level. I'm also either realizing a heavy festival viewing bias on my part or SXSW and AFF are really that good. Nine of my top ten movies I saw at one of those festivals. As we state every year, these are not necessarily the best movies of the year, just the ones that we most enjoyed.
