It’s that time of year again where we all get obsessed with lists (although I’m always obsessed with lists). Every site, magazine and newspaper are listing their favourite whatevers of the year. I’m sure we’ll pop a few lists up ourselves and our forthcoming podcast will feature a review of the year, but I thought we’d kick things off by asking what our readers think was the best film of 2011. I’ve used Metacritic’s ‘list of lists’ to compile this, which is a list consisting of a ranking of where films came in lots of different publications’ lists. Of course, if you have a personal favourite that isn’t on here, let us know in the comments section. My favourite wasn’t, but I won’t reveal that until the podcast.

Chris Searson
Probably Senna this year as my favourite.
David Brook
I thought you preferred TT3D or did a rewatch change your mind?
Chris Searson
It was close but i watched them both again on blu ray over Christmas and Senna just edged it. TT3D is still a brilliant documentary though.
Darren Bolton
What an absolute load of bollocks of a selection that is. Who comes up with these polls?!
Darren Bolton
Unsurprisingly the ONLY votes have been OTHER!!
Wasn’t that released in 2001 with Nicole Kidman?!
Darren Bolton
REAL STEEL by the way…
David Brook
Most people don’t have bizarre backwards tastes in film like you Darren. Saying that, my favourite isn’t in there either
Darren Bolton
Real Steal is infinitely better than the Tree of Li….ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
I can’t even say the title without falling asleep!
Darren Bolton
I reckon New Years Eve will be better than it!
David Brook
Wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong!
Nice picture by the way
Lyndsey Jackson
what is this american crap? Where are the films that are actually out in the UK? Where is Hangover 2? (i think i just threw up in my mouth!)
Chris is on with Senna though – i’m still undecided as to what my FAVE is… Bridesmaids was a treat and i really enjoyed Drive. M:I 4 and source code were fun but by no means the best.. that DVD i saw of Dave and Darren getting it on was pretty good…
David Brook
To be fair it’s only The Descendants that isn’t out in the UK yet. Although The Artist is opening in London only I think before moving up north after a week or two.

That DVD of me and Darren is private and doesn’t count, we recorded it in 2010
