Thumbs Up: Top Movies of 2011
February 7, 2012
Spencer and I see at least one movie each week at a movie theater, NOT on DVD. It’s one of the things we really enjoy in life, especially since we usually dine at a favorite restaurant either before or after the show.
In fact, if I weren’t a food-and-wine professional, I may well have been a movie critic.
So here are out top movies of 2011. We rate each movie from 0 to 5 stars. Zero is a movie without a plot or a really bad (unsatisfying) ending. Five is a world-class, totally unique, unexpected experience.
We’ve given only a handful of five-star ratings since we started cataloging and rating our movies in 1986 (!).
Each of the movies below garnered a four-star rating. Nothing won five stars in 2011.
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
Empire of Silver
Jane Eyre
Cave of Forgotten Dreams
Beginning of the New Revolution

Midnight in Paris
