RE: Best movies of 2011 from what i've seen🎬🎥
here's a couple of films that I've seen in 2011 and really enjoyed:
- Jeff who lives at home
- Kill List (I enjoyed a big chunk of it but it was a little too hyped in my opinion)
- Hail
- Red State
- Le Havre
my favs of your list are:
a separation
take shelter
we need to talk about kevin
drive
intouchables (although that one was overhyped too in my opinion)
I seen Jeff who lives at home but i didn't liked and i rated 6/10 and Kill List I seen quite recently and it was pretty good and I offered a rating of 7/10.I added the rest to my watchlist and i'm curious about the movie Le Havre which I will probably see in the coming days,thanks for the recommendations @vincentnijman.
You rate a movie you don't like 6/10 ? That's quite high.
I enjoyed Jeff who lives at Home at the time (4 or 5 years ago or so), as it looked a lot like my situation.
I was 30+ , unemployed and living with my parents again, at the time. I could quite easily identify with the character and laugh about the situation.
Le Havre is an alright movie by a quite interesting Northern European filmmaker. Not sure if you've heard of the Finnish director, Aki Kaurismaki.
I could point you to some older films he made that I find very interesting: The Match Factory Girl (1990), I hired a Contract Killer (1990), Juha (1999), The Man without a Past (2002)
When I said that i didn't like Jeff who lives at home I did not refer to it as a bad movie but that is a decent movie and i rate with 6 the decent movies and every time I try to see a movie which has the potential of minimum rating 6 (my rating) and I succeed almost every time and I don't watch mostly poorly rated films.
ah, I see :) not liking something usually does not mean you find something decent. It's the same thing with saying you don't like a boy or a girl, that isn't a nice thing to say, haha! It means you dislike, really don't like something. Anyway, English...
I now understand your rating system.
I try not to be distracted by ratings. Ratings are always someone's opinion.
If a lot of people rate something high, it just means that lots of people have seen it (perhaps because of marketing) and like it.
I prefer to judge for myself. I usually make a decision based on the director (earlier films that I've seen), actor(s), story, et cetera
but that's just my strategy ;)
I make the same like you but i don't watch movies under the rating 6 usually and I like to have my opinion also and i really don't think that Jeff who lives at home deserve more ,for me it was a boring movie with pretty good actors with some good moments only that ,maybe you liked it but I can not add something what I did not like so much in my favorites list. I don't think it's that hard to understand what I mean.Many times I was disappointed with the movies that they have the rating under 6, than to waste my time I better give up on them and I dedicate my time to other movies that have lower chances to disappoint me.
sure, that's up to you. I usually also pick movies that I expect to like
but some movies that have low ratings can actually be quite enjoyable (if you go into them with the right mind set) I find a lot of movies with high ratings quite boring too ;)
