2011 in Movies: most fun at the movies

Brendan Gleeson in THE GUARD

 

1.  Seeing The Guard with the Wife.  We howled.

2.  My mad dash with my friend Kiefer to see five movies in 42 hours – in five theaters in four cities.  It’s described in The Movie Gourmet hits the all-you-can-eat buffet.

3.  A solo sprint to see five movies in 44 hours – in three theaters in two cities:  Another five movie weekend for the Movie Gourmet.

4.  I didn’t see this as a highpoint at the time, but it was FAILING to get a rush ticket at the SFIF for Le Quattro Volte.  In retrospect, this delayed being subjected to the coughing goatherd for a precious three-and-a-half months.

5.  Listening to writer/director Kyle Smith tell my film club about the making of Turkey Bowl.

6.  Finding the 1980 Werner Herzog documentary God’s Angry Man on a Dr. Gene Scott fan site.

7.  Attending a preview of Cars 2 at the Pixar studio.
