Ben Lyons' Picks! The Best Movies Of 2011

Honorable Mention: War Horse, Beginners, Hugo, Life in a Day, The Ides of March, Crazy Stupid Love, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

As for the "Worst" films of 2011?

A few quickly come to mind like The Green Lantern, I Melt With You, The Hangover 2, Transformers: Dark of The Moon, and Bad Teacher. I don't want to write anymore about these because they wasted enough of my time having to sit through them. Hours of my life simply gone forever.

So there you have it. What do an Iranian family drama, a franchise's final chapter, three documentaries, and a British alien invasion movie have in common? They were all on my list of favorite films in 2011. What makes your list?

Looking forward to a great year of movies in 2012. Thanks GlobalGrind for letting me be a part of the family...

Best,

Ben Lyons
