In 2010 we reviewed 108 films for you, but we thought that was weak sauce so we upped it nearly in half. We have 149 movie reviews for you to peruse from 2011 along with the scores of every Player Affinity writer who saw it. You'll find nothing this comprehensive anywhere except on Player Affinity.
The films are ranked best to worst and they are unweighted, meaning even if only one of us reviewed the film, it was still ranked based on their score (see No. 1, for example). Scores were rounded up wherever applicable and two films with the same score were arranged based on the number of ratings, the consistency of the ratings and in some cases date of release.
Links to our main review of each film are embeded in all the titles. The composite ratings in each one may well likely not be updated to reflect this list (if you want to complain, then you update 150 different posts).
Congrats to our writer Simon Brookfield for seeing and rating 102 of the movies on this list, a new PA staff record.
