Give it a few years and The Artist will be forgotten whereas Tinker Tailor will be revered for decades to come, Its a novelty film with a bloke looking charming (not acting ) and winning a best actor award.

No offence, but that simply won't happen. It's a good movie but nothing too outstanding, and it hasn't even got much attention now (compared to other recent movies), how should it have some in a few decades?

You'll be surprised, it might not have got raves so much in the states but in the UK it was one of the most critically acclaimed films of last year, it's got legs mark my words, it's already a classic and it's fans are just going to grow.

The box office was very respectable in the UK and it's widely recognised as Oldman's best performance and if he gets a chance to revisit it will not be forgotten, think The Conversation or All The Presidents Men yes we are talking that kind of longevity I pretty much think it's definite. I'm afraid it is outstanding.

All 4 films below you are showing don't hold a candle to it. Very safe choices.

You're wrong. While I did enjoy Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, it was very slow-paced and quiet in some scenes. The Artist will be remembered for it's nostalgia and return to Silent Films.

Than that's a UK thing, and I wasn't aware of it. It hasn't got much recognition here. Not more like, let's say, The Descendants.

They're no choices but my favourites of 2011 and were never intended to provoke any kind of competition with TTSS :)
I say, we'll let time tell. The Artist and Hugo have timeless themes ... TTSS is a Cold War spy movie. Let's see how many people still care for the Cold War in some decades.
