    You include The Dilemma, No Strings Attached and Hereafter but not True Grit which is the best film so far this year. Hmm.

    My best two would be those which had combined pleasure in viewing with seeming well-made and well acted. So for me they'd be Conviction and Morning Glory. I know the latter was a pretty average comedy but it hit the spot for me at the time. The "big" films from the list (e.g. The King's Speech, Black Swan) left me underwhelmed or unimpressed.

    Two films that really hit the spot for me so far this year is Biutiful and Chalet Girl, but as Chalet Girl is not on your list, I chose King's Speech, which I saw last year.

    I've seen 6 films on the list and my favourite, 51 days in to 2011 is, hands down, The King's Speech.

    There are a number of upcoming films I want to see this year but The King's Speech is definitely the best film I've seen so far this year.

    I'm surprised you've given two voting options though - surely only one film can be the 'best'. :confused:
