Here are the films that were memorable to me in no particular order:
- Rango
- Tangled
- Drive
- The Muppets
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II
- The Skin I Live In (Spain)
- Attack the Block (UK)
- Snowtown (AU)
- Hesher
- Sherlock Holmes 2
- The Dead (overall a great addition to the zombie genre, though schlocky in parts)
- Bridesmaids
- Paul (Why is this not on every single best-of list? The only DVD I bought this year.)
- Captain America
- Green Lantern
- Source Code
- Insidious (Ok, the 'reveal' was a bit daft but this stuck with me)
- Kung Fu Panda 2
- Hannah
- X-Men: First Class
Many of you will wonder why I don't include Super 8. I liked it. Definitely had its moments. But it lacked the magic that a movie of its type should have.
Sadly I haven't seen quite a few of the films I feel I should have this year. I'm hoping to see some of the big ones before year's end.
Hope you had a good year at the movies. If you want to keep having the opportunity to see them on the big screen, make sure you go regularly and PAY! :)

agree with everything here.
loved drive! also (your highness)
and totally on board with super 8, thought it would have the punch of a film like stand by me but its sort of just a really good film and not an 'experience', sorry if that sounded pretentious..
Not at all and I'm glad you agree. I see a film like The Muppets and know THAT'S magic. Super 8 was not, but still a very good film.
I'm on board with Super 8 too. However, my problem was that it was only 80's magic nostalghia. The end lacked poorly because it felt so random.
Also honorable mention for Green Lantern??? Wow!!!
I saw that you posted in the LAMB forum about being on the LAMBcast. I think you should! It has been a little crowded on there as of late but it would be awesome to have you on it.
Finally my main reason for stopping by was to wish you a happybirthday!
haha Thanks Joel. I think Green Lantern honoured the comic and really had a lot of heart. I was surprised I liked it so much. Thank you SO KINDLY for the happy birthday message. :)
Thanks a lot Jen for the list. I guess I've missed few of those movies.But I'll make sure to watch the movies I've missed to watch with and will try to look at http://www.lovefilmuk.co.uk/ to see if its available.
Above all I really love Kung Fu Panda, Captain America and X-men.
Once again thanks a lot for your list...
I agree with you. These all are very nicely directed movies. I also haven't seen some of the film but I like the Drive movie very much. Ryan gosling is a great actor and his dressing in the movie was awesome. His drive jacket scorpion is very nice. its shiny look is very much liked by me.
