From the smallest art films to the biggest blockbusters, documentaries and narratives from more than a dozen different countries, we present the 50 best movies of 2011. 10. Project Nim In Man on Wire, director James Marsh recounted French tightrope walker Philippe Petit’s exploits, most notably his unauthorized 1974 walk between the Twin Towers that held most of the city of New York breathless for an entire morning.

In Project Nim, a team of researchers (only one year earlier, in 1973) sets out to accomplish an even more audacious and thrilling goal—to teach a chimpanzee human sign language and initiate meaningful dialogue. Technically the film is flawless. But the really compelling angle for the film is the very idea of inter-species communication. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2 . 1.

50 Best Movies of 2010. Much has been debated about the quality of the top movies released this year, but that we were able to pull together a list of the 50 best movies of 2010 means it couldn't have been so bad after all. After the jump, we count down our favorite movies of the year, from the mind-bending 'Inception' to the movie that may have defined our generation, 'The Social Network.' Think you can figure out which movie topped our list? There's only one way to find out. - the Moviefone Editors, Dec. 21, 2010 50. 'Alice in Wonderland' What's with the hate, critics? Granted, Tim Burton's refashioning of Lewis Carroll's tale lacked some narrative focus, and it probably didn't need to be in 3-D. But the film is visually striking, Helena Bonham Carter's Red Queen and her gigantic head (not to mention those frog servants) had us in stitches, and Mia Wasikowska is lovely as an Alice who only wants to live her own life.

Call us greedy, but we've said it once, and we'll say it again: Ten is not enough. While nearly all movie critics engage in the time-honored tradition of ranking their picks for 10 best flicks of the year, we prefer to take this time of year to recognize the admirable quantity of quality movies being produced, despite our occasional moaning that says otherwise. Therefore, like we have the past several years, we count to 50. The big stories from 2009's list: Family fare ruled, with four animated films ranking in our top 15. It was also a good year for action and big budget movies, even if six of the year's 10 highest grossing movies didn't make the cut (prior to 'Avatar's' final figures, anyway). And perhaps the biggest lesson learned?

Most movie critics make it an annual tradition to rank their top 10 films of the year. We think that's way too limiting -- what with instantly classic superhero flicks ('The Dark Knight,' 'Iron Man'), top-notch comedies ('Tropic Thunder,' 'Role Models'), fantastic family fare ('WALL-E,' 'Kung Fu Panda') and must-see Oscar contenders ('Milk,' 'Slumdog Millionaire') all in the running.

Believe it or not, we've got 42 more where those came from ... Presenting our third annual list of the year's 50 best movies. 50. 'Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull' The alien-themed plot (not to mention that scene where Shia LaBeouf channels Tarzan) incurred the wrath of some diehard Indy fans -- and earned the flick a hilariously controversial send-up courtesy of 'South Park.' But at its essence, 'Crystal Skull' keeps up with the previous 'Jones'es, delivering a long-awaited, and whip-cracking, fourth dose of our favorite globe-trotting archaeologist. -- Tom DiChiara 49. 48. 47. 46. 45. 44. 50 Best Movies Of 2011. 70 Science Fiction and Fantasy Movies to Watch Out for in 2012.

First trailer lands for Snow White And The Huntsman. Sorry, this video could not be found. Universal has released the first official trailer for Rupert Sanders’ fairytale reimagining Snow White And The Huntsman, and it’s probably the most visually arresting teaser we’ve seen all year. As the pumping electro soundtrack kicks in, it’s clear from the off that this is going to be a heavily stylised version of the classic fairy story, with the film’s modern-Gothic aesthetic announced through a spectacular, dissembling flock of ravens. Many of the ancient yarn’s classic details appear to be intact, but are presented with such verve that they feel genuinely fresh, the anthropomorphised magic mirror an eye-catching case in point. Star of the show is Charlize Theron’s dastardly Queen, sexy and sinister in equal measure and a character with a whole heap of visual tricks up her sleeve.

All in all then, it seems like an exciting spin on a well-worn narrative. Source: Apple The fairest of them all? Best/Worst "Sci-Fi" Titles. The Movie Channel.

Top 100 Spiritually Significant Films. The 25 best arthouse films of all time: the full list | Film. Andrei Rublev | Film. Andrei Rublev: the best arthouse film of all time | Film. Viewers and critics always have their personal favourites, but some films achieve a masterpiece status that becomes unanimously agreed upon – something that's undoubtedly true of Andrei Rublev, even though it's a film that people often feel they don't, or won't get. It is 205 minutes long (in its fullest version), in Russian, and in black and white. Few characters are clearly identified, little actually happens, and what does happen isn't necessarily in chronological order.

Its subject is a 15th-century icon painter and national hero, yet we never see him paint, nor does he do anything heroic. In many of the film's episodes, he is not present at all, and in the latter stages, he takes a vow of silence. But in a sense, there is nothing to "get" about Andrei Rublev. With Andrei Rublev, Tarkovsky was consciously crafting a language that owed nothing to literature, and it's a pity so few others followed him. Tokyo Story: No 4 best arthouse film of all time | Film.

It's dangerous to start watching Japanese cinema, because the world is so extensive and dazzling you may quickly develop a taste for nothing but Japanese films. Is there a romance more mysterious than Mizoguchi's Ugetsu Monogatari? Is there action to surpass Kurosawa's Seven Samurai? And, in terms of family drama, has any film been more moving than Yasujiro Ozu's Tokyo Story? Time and again, Ozu has made films about family, and the shifting structure we refer to as "time and again". Family is less a fixed entity than a kind of weather system that keeps coming back. So children need parents, and need to outlive them.

But while the weather will go on, and your children will become parents, so your life will close, and you will not be there to see the way your own children look back as if to say they understand you, too late. Is this tragedy or comedy? Family is a group in which everyone has his or her reason. The Passion of Joan of Arc: No 22 best arthouse film of all time | Film.

So extraordinary and otherworldly is this film's power, you could believe you were watching the actual trial of Joan of Arc, rather than just actors recreating it for the camera. The fact that it was based on the original transcripts of the trial could be a factor, but Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer was not much concerned with historical accuracy (Joan had been canonised in 1920, seven years before this film was made). "The year of the event seemed as inessential to me as its distance from the present. I wanted to interpret a hymn to the triumph of the soul over life," he later wrote. In fact, it's a bracingly modern treatment of a historical subject. The camera glides along in smooth tracking shots, peers up from strange angles, and homes in so close on Joan's inquisitors, you can make out every wart and pockmark on their scowling faces. Maria Falconetti's portrayal of Joan is somehow in a class of its own, outside the realms of acting.

The Most Life-Affirming Films. 127 Hours (2010. Aron Ralston. Aron Lee Ralston (born October 27, 1975) is an American outdoorsman, engineer and motivational speaker. He survived a canyoneering accident in south-eastern Utah in 2003, during which he amputated his own right forearm with a dull multi-tool in order to extricate himself from a dislodged boulder, underneath which he had been trapped for five days and seven hours. After he freed himself, he had to rappel down a 65 foot (20 m) sheer cliff face to reach safety.[1] Background[edit] Ralston was born on October 27, 1975, in Marion, Ohio. He and his family moved to Denver when he was age 11. He is a graduate of Cherry Creek High School in Greenwood Village, Colorado. He had the goal of climbing all of Colorado's "fourteeners" — peaks over 14,000 ft high, of which there are 59; solo and during winter (a feat that had never been recorded).

In August 2009, Ralston married Jessica Trusty. Accident[edit] After freeing himself, Ralston still had to get back to his car. Aftermath of accident[edit] List Of Life Affirming And Inspiring Feature-Length Movies from Thea Westra at Forward Steps.
