The Movies of 2011: Best to Worst

Whenever I see a movie, I return home to edit a few documents that help me keep track of what movies I've seen, how much I liked them, and what categories for my end-of-year awards they may qualify for.  Last year, I also created a new document listing every 2011 release I saw from best to worst.  While I did so more for my own purposes, I thought I'd share it here for your viewing pleasure.  Maybe print off a pocket-sized copy to carry with you to Redbox?  It'd be like having me there, looking over your shoulder, whispering "Not that one!  Please, not that one!"  Dream come true, yes?

For more on the Top Ten movies listed here, click on this link.  For some of the others, I've created links to reviews or pertinent posts.  Enjoy.
