Nearing the end of June means we're approaching the halfway mark of 2011, so, out of what has been released so far, what's your fav film of 2011?
For me, my current favorite of the year is Scream 4. Honestly, the film did not let me down. It was one of the funnest slasher (and imo films overall) movies I have seen for a while, and the mystery was good.
I liked how modern they made the killer's motive, and the film's great subversion of the concept of "the new generation."
What about you guys?

"I Saw the Devil." Technically it came out last year, but it was released for a limited showing in theaters here this year, and that's when I saw it. Phenomenal film. Great acting, the pacing was excellent, the choreography was spot on, and it told its story well.

So far, mine is Kung Fu Panda 2. Go to the KFP2 thread to see my full description.
But I also really think X-Men First Class could be a good one too, my brother said it was excellent.

So far my favorite movie of 2011 would have to be Lake Placid 3.

Rio, Trollhunter, Arthur, Country Strong and Hop.

Probably Scream 4, for the same reasons brekclub85 gave. I thought Paul was good as well.

Well, I haven't actually gone to see many films this year. But I'd say it's a tie between X-Men First Class, and Attack the Block.
X-Men, simply because it succeeded where Origins failed, tying itself well into the storyline and the canon. The characters were cool, the story was good, and the new mutants were pretty fun.
Attack the Block, because of its low budget feel and clever plotline. For those who don't know about it, it's about when an alien lands in a shady London estate, and is followed by dozens more highly aggressive aliens, leaving the defense of the estate up to the local street gang and drug dealer. The design of the aliens was very original (Like a gorilla/xenomorph hybrid with glowing teeth, and that's the nice version!), the kids were very convincing as chavvy thugs, and there were some genuinely funny moments. At last, a sci-fi comedy that's actually funny that isn't Spaceballs!
