Black Swan
The Kings Speech

Arent these all 2010?

Im really no sure how many from 2011 Ive even seen. I usually catch up from the previous year it seems. Really liked Super 8, but Ive yet to see any of the other you guys listed besides Cedar Rapids (which was real good, dont know about year's best though). Im pissed I missed on Drive in theaters but plan on checking it out ASAP. If its as good as it looks, itll probably be my favorite of the year.

And whats the consensus: Ive never seen any of the foreign The Girl.... movies, would it be a bad idea to see Fincher's first?
Damn, forgot Cedar Rapids. That was great.

I fully expect the hollywood versions to be different then the Swede versions. They were different from the books and in some parts radically different. Doesnt mean they were bad. Not sure how the new ones will be. I think you'll be fine.

Well it's not like some hollywood hack made this movie, the subject matter is right up David Fincher's alley. I heard he kept the explicit parts in too. Damn I'm looking forward to this, might go on x-mas eve if there's nothing else to do.

No one else saw Warrior? Jaimoe? Granted, the story is rather unbelievable but it's an excellent movie with top performances from all three of it's leads, Tom Hardy in particular.

Watched this last night, fully agree DB. Everything I had heard about Warrior was positive, so I went in with high expectations yet was still blown away. And that, my friend, is a fuckin rarity. Usually for me, expectations either crush a movie or I see what people are saying, but Warrior still was still much better than I expected.

Tom Hardy is a BEAST. I thought he was an excellent actor after seeing Bronson, but throw on Inception and Warrior and Im totally sold on the guy. Considering he's playing Bane, he should be the next big actor in hollywood and I dont see how not. At this point, he has to be a huge celebrity in England, right?!

That said, Joel Edgerton was also excellent. Both him, Hardy, and Nolte should be nominated for best supporting actor. I will be shocked if none of them are.

I havent seen very many movies from 2011, but for the moment Warrior is #1 and I wouldnt be surprised if it stays on top

Missed this post, well said Capt! Can't wait to see it again on DVD in a couple of weeks...
God will forgive them. He'll forgive them and allow them into Heaven.....I can't live with that.
