Inspired by Flamebait's thread, I thought we should have a Best of 2011 for lame people like me that don't watch a lot of new TV shows, or read a lot of new books, or listen to a lot of new music, or see a lot of new movies.
What things did you re-discover, OR, just discover for the first time in 2011?
For me:
Best Movie I saw in 2011 (Sci Fi): Gattaca
Best Movie I saw in 2011 (Comedy): Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Best TV Series I saw in 2011: X-Files/Twilight Zone
Best Book I read in 2011: Mama Day by Gloria Naylow

Due Date was really funny. I didn't see it until a couple of months ago.

Due Date was an odd combination of very cynical, subversive irreverence with a sentimental tug at the heart strings.
I guess I just really liked RDJR. His character was so fascinating, as he goes from emotionally distant to a sense of bonding with Zach's character. His words and facial expressions were just spot on entertaining. When you combine that with the fact that I find Zach in inherently funny human being, the movie was good.

Can I just watch Planes, Trains, and Automobiles again?

"Iron Man" was pretty cool. "Iron Man 2" was all right.

I want to add another question to my original query...
what things did you see this year that you felt were worthy of re-watching, or buying to own?
My two most re-watched things this year: Futurama (all 5 seasons) and Die Hard.

hmmm. Perhaps.
My avatar is still slightly better though, as it combines three awesome things:
Han Solo, Bob Ross, and Christmas.

I dispute your claim. Mine has Darth Vader, Han Solo, Chewbacca and lightsabers -- four uber-awesome things.

We've been enjoying the Alias series (or at least the first two seasons), though Diana likes it more than me.
