Two Jews on Top Ten Films 2011

2011 was a year filled with very eclectic films…

We had movies about the end of the world…(‘Melancholia’ and ‘Take Shelter’) travelling back in time…,(‘Midnight In Paris’) homages to the early days of filmmaking,..(‘The Artist’ ‘Hugo’) as well as movies about some of our favorite sports…baseball (‘Moneyball) and wrestling (Win Win).

We found ourselves laughing hysterically at a comedy about girl bonding…(‘Bridesmaids’) had our hearts touch by a few family films…conventional ones…(‘We Bought A Zoo’ ‘Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close’) and a couple…anything but..(‘Tree Of Life’ ‘Hesher’ ‘We Need To Talk About Kevin’)

There was even a wonderful film about illness and friendship (‘50/50’) and a lesson about screwing with Mother Nature (‘Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes’).

And of course we had the wonderful end to a series of films that we’ve all come to love ‘Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollows Part 2’.

Oh and we musn’t forget Michael Fassbender’s wonderful portrayal of a sex addict in Steve McQueen’s excellent ‘Shame’.

All the films on our top ten list shared one thing…A very high Bagel Award…and they’re ones, that we think…you should definitely not miss.
