Taking stock of the movies I watched in 2011. And somehow, I consolidated some of my favourites over the last 18 months by extracting from my blog. As always, the show is where we laughed, cried (in my heart), reminisced, fell in love, reflected on life – hoping to find that magical connection. Here’s my top 5 of ‘different movie genres’ – enjoy.
