01. "Drive" is the best film of 2011.

1. Drive
According to us, the best movie you'll see all year. Ryan Gosling plays Driver, a nameless wheelman thrown in with some nasty criminals (Albert Brooks, Ron Perlman) when he steps forward to assist his neighbor (Carey Mulligan) and her tainted husband (Oscar Isaac). Director Nicolas Winding-Refn's movie is a pitch-perfect exercise in style, suspense, and ultra-cool, one that our critic compares toChinatown and L.A. Confidential. "What is amazing is how, by carefully controlling all the cinematic elements -- performance, plot, pacing, production design -- [a] foreign [director] redefines the American crime drama."
