Coming soon to a theater near you. Or somewhere.
If the number of films I had to cut from this list were any indication, 2011 is going to be a huge movie year. Several of the biggest movies of 2011 didn’t even come close to making the cut, which is a great sign. Last year, when compiling a list for 2010, we struggled to fill it.
Of course, half of the movies on this list are going to end up being terrible. Blockbusters are cool until you actually see them, edgy indies aren’t that edgy. But it’s the upcoming movies that live up to their potential that are impressive. You never know which one they’ll be even when you think you do.
Without further ado, here are the top 20 movies to see in 2011…
The Christmas Hanukkah/holiday shopping season is picking up steam. For those of you who don’t live and breathe movies like I do, I’ve compiled a list of the best movies, DVDs and Blu-Rays that would make perfect gifts for that special someone. 
It’s Halloween, which means it’s horror movie time! While many people will be out on the town Saturday night, Halloween itself falls on a Sunday – which means that most people will be at home, recovering from the night before and ready to watch some movies (oh, and some football). There are plenty of horror movies to choose from, but that’s just the problem! Where do you start? Most horror movies are crap, but there are also many great classics – and hidden gems.
Summer is over, and kids are back to school. You know what that means: the studios are going to dump a lot of garbage on audiences this month. We’re being subjected to yet another Resident Evil movie, even though the third one was terrible, and Alpha and Omega looks like one of the worst cartoons to grace the silver screen since Hoodwinked. And yet, there are quite a few movies I want to see this September, and since my job is to share my opinion, here you go… nine movies to watch this September. 
The summer movie season is fading. It is, after all, August. Unfortunately, the bad movies (G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra) far outweigh the good (The Sixth Sense) in this miserable month as studios drop the projects they at one point thought were worthy of greatness but have pretty much acknowledged most audiences would rather take a power drill to their skulls than watch the crap they’ve produced. Still, August – as with every month – promises one or two movies worth seeing, and 2010 is no different. 
Actor Steve Carell has been solid even when scripts faltered – which has not been that often.
As Inception plows through its second weekend of box office glory, Christopher Nolan’s lucid thriller is simultaneously solidifying its legacy as a classic of contemporary cinema. From the early days of film making (dare I say, since its inception?), theorists have speculated about the dreamlike nature of the cinematic experience and movies have perpetually tried to bring dreams alive on screen. 
The summer movie season is only days away, which means it’s time for every movie website on the planet to come out with their summer movie guides. But you’re not going to waste time on those other sites, right? We’ve got everything you need to know about 2010′s summer movies right here at FilmJabber, starting with the movies to watch – and the ones to skip – in May. 
Comedy, typically, is my least favorite genre, but that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy a good, funny movie. The problem in 2009 was that there just weren’t very many funny movies. The Hangover was great, but the funniest movie of the year? Yes, in 2009. In other years… maybe not. And dramedies like Away We Go, while extremely funny, isn’t what most people would consider a top comedy. Then there’s Up – a kid’s movie, a great movie, but a truly hilarious movie? That being said, I dare you to list funnier movies that were released in 2009.
