The 10 movies you MUST see in 2011!

by on May.05, 2011, under Movies

Yeah, I know…. it’s May already. How dare I get away with a top 10 list of upcoming movies in 2011 when it’s nearly half way done? Well, the start of the summer movie season, love it or hate it, is upon us and with it brings the ultimate popcorn CGI fests, along with the occasional Triple-A scorcher.

In my past lists, there were definitely some duds, but they each had an impact in one way or another.

So, I will not keep you waiting, my picks for the Top 10 must see flicks in 2011 are… *drumroll please*

Everything Must Go (May 13)

A return to drama for Will Ferrell? Sign me up. After Stranger Than Fiction, he immediately proved he CAN act if he wants to.

Hangover Part 2 (May 26)

After hearing a sequel was announced, I immediately cringed. However, that dread subsided after watching the original teaser trailer for the first time. After watching the full trailer, I was completely sold.

Hobo With A Shotgun (May 6)

Grindhouse films are extremely hit or miss, but when they do it right and all of the pieces come together, magic is born!

Submarine (June 3)

You may know him as Moss from the I.T. Crowd, but he’s also the director of this surprisingly fantastic film I had the pleasure of seeing at TIFF 2010. A VERY well put together love story, with a great part played by an always interesting Paddy Consindine.

X-Men : First Class (June 3)

My fingers (and toes) are crossed that this series has gone back to the drawing board after a disasterous 3rd act and laughably bad Wolverine spin off. Can the excellent Fassbender and McAvoy save it? Let’s hope.

The Trip (June 10)

Ok, so it’s already been out for a while in the UK. But this matchup with Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon will make anyone laugh. The almost entirely ad lib scenes between the two are comedy gold.

Super 8 (June 10)

Yeah, so what… the finale of Lost sucked. I still LOVE anything Abrams touches. Everything I’ve seen or heard for Super 8 so far has kept me drooling for more.

Another Earth (July 22)

A more realistic look at what an alternate dimension could truly provide for the human race… if that makes sense. Looks like it could be very interesting.

Cowboys And Aliens (July 29)

Ever since the original trailer, I was simply blown away. Sure, it’s a popcorn flick, but they are great once in a while and this is an original enough approach to sci-fi that I’ll take it. Why they took away Craig’s accent is beyond me though.

30 minutes or less (August 12)

Ansari, Eisenberg, McBride, Swarsdon??? Yes please. Oh… and look at that, the director of Zombieland is doing it. How will this NOT be the funniest movie of the year?

Honourable mention

The Tree of Life (May 27)

Terence Malick has made some incredible films, and this looks like another visual and spiritual journey. However, if the words spiritual journey make you wretch, it might not be for you :-D However, maybe Brad Pitt or Sean Penn can change your mind?
