Happy New Year one and all and welcome officially to 2011! The last twelve months have arguably been a great cumulative year for cinema, but with new films scheduled for release from British Oscar winner Danny Boyle, dynamic duo the Coen brothers, Darren Aronofsky and the seldom-seen Terrence Malick, 2011 is shaping up to be another vintage year. To celebrate the start of 2011, CineVue contributors have provided a rundown of their own personal Top 5 releases of 2011. We’ll also be running a poll on the right-hand sidebar that will allow you to vote for the film that you’re most looking forward to seeing this year. Enjoy, and do also let us know which cinema outings you’re particularly looking forward to come the New Year.
