As of now, I've seen 54 movies released in 2011 but I still haven't seen The Artist, The Descendents, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, Tree Of Life and probably a number of other good movies that I'm unaware of so I'm just going to name 9 and fill in a tenth when I see something good or bump up one of my honorable mentions. My top 9 (in alphabetical order): Bridesmaids Drive 50/50 The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011) Hugo (3-D) The Ides Of March Moneyball The Muppets Scream 4 Honorable Mentions (in alphabtical order): Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows- Part 2, Insidious, Midnight In Paris, Mission: Impossible- Ghost Protocol, Red State (primarily because they released it without a studio), Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, Super, Super 8, War Horse, Young Adult.

I can't even recall 10 moves that I watched in 2011. Looks like I have a lot of catching up to do. Based on all these reviews, i'll probably start with Hugo, Contagion, The Muppets, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Moneyball, and 50/50. Thanks all!
