Roger Ebert doesn't really like or agree with the concept of objectively ordering film or works of art, yet he still put out a list of his top 20 films this year. So why not do your own...

My Top 11 films of 2011*
11. Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows pt. 2
10. Super 8
09. Midnight In Paris
08. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
07. The Rise of the Planet of the Apes
06. Drive
05. Thor
04. Captain America
03. Hugo
02. War Horse
01. X-Men: First Class
I know it wasn't even some fanboys' favorite X-franchise film, let alone their favorite film of the year, but I can't help it, this film just impressed me on every level. Pacing, plot, charcterization, performances, and FX. What's even more impressive is how quickly the director got the script together and actually made the film. I'd love to see what this same team could do w/ a sequel w/ proper planning time and budget. I think Vaughn could be for the X-Men what Nolan was/is to Batman if given the chance.

Honorable Mentions:
13 Assassins
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo
Moneyball
Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
Transformers 3

* Well reviewed films of 2011 that I've yet to see: A Dangerous Method, J. Edgar, Marthy Marcy May Marlene, Melancholia, Shame, The Artist, The Descendants, The Ides of March, & The Tree of Life.
