Our voyage through history's underappreciated films arrives at the year 2011, and a great year for lesser-seen gems...
Even a cursory glance at the top 10 grossing films of 2011 reveals something strange: nine of the entries are sequels. Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part 2 brought the fantasy franchise to a close with a staggering $1.3bn haul. Transformers: Dark Of The Moon wasn't too far behind with just over $1.1bn. On Stranger Tides continued the Pirates Of The Caribbean series' wave of success, despite mixed reviews.
Elsewhere in the top 10, you'll find another Twilight, a fourth Mission: Impossible, a second Kung Fu Panda, a fifth Fast, another Hangover, and further Cars. Standing alone on the list is The Smurfs, the adaptation of Peyo's Belgian comic strip. In fact, 2011 saw the release of no fewer than 28 sequels - the most we've yet seen in any given year.

Vikings versus aliens? Cowboys versus ninjas? Hollywood is in the grip of a hybrid genre fever, but are the results mere low-brow nonsense? Here’s Ti’s view...
The teaser trailer for Transformers: Dark Of The Moon showed that the Apollo 11 landing did not just provide one of mankind's historical moments, but also the discovery of Transformers on the moon.
This melding of true life events and sci-fi is a simple example of how the hybrid genre movie is rapidly becoming more popular in Hollywood. There is even another Apollo-based film coming out that portrays 'fictional' historical events with a horror twist. Apollo 18 will tell the tale of the 'lost Apollo mission' that, no doubt, saw its astronauts come to an icky end at the hands of some alien/monster/red neck conspiracy theorist.
Now, I love genre movies. My DVD collection is made up of many a historical epic,...
