This was the year that was supposed to just be the summer to get through in order to get to summer 2012 which was supposed to be the real big deal. Well, summer 2011 turned out to be pretty great in the big time pictures department while 2012 wound up severely lacking. The awful Green Lantern aside, Summer 2011 had some great superhero pictures to boot. This was an Academy Awards year that disappointed plenty of people and many didn't care for the "cute" movie winning Best Picture. Still a more impressive movie than King's Speech (ok, ok, I'm done harping on that haha). I had an absolutely horrible time trying to cut this damn thing to 6. I had a hard enough time getting it to 10 prior to that. When I had it to 8, every movie was passing my relevancy to myself test that I've been using when decision making. What makes it equally hard is that we're not that far removed from this particular year and have a passage of time that may make these cuts harder.
