My Favourite Films of 2011

In a similar manner to my favourite albums, it wasn't until I sat down and thought about the films in 2011 that I realised how many I'd really liked. There are some absolute killers on this list. Just a quick one for the rules: I'm going by Irish / UK release date, hence the inclusion of some foreign titles that actually came out in their home countries a year or two ago. And before anyone mentions it, no, I haven't forgot Melancholia, Never Let Me Go, Hanna, or The Tree Of Life. They were just shite.

The Best Albums of 2011

I didn't realise what a great year it had been for music until I sat down to knock together a shortlist for my Top 20 of 2011. Before I'd even seriously thought about it, I'd got a list of over 50 albums. Narrowing them down to a Top 20 was pretty tough, but picking my favourite of the year was ridiculous - any one of the top 3 could have been it. Anyway, on with the list. Read, disagree, call me a cunt. Can't wait!
