I don't like it when people say someone has good taste in something, so let me just say we have similar taste in movies.
Among great movies like Amélie, The Lives of Others, The Usual Supsects, Unforgiven, Mean Streets, Apocalypse Now, The Graduate, The Big Lebowski, Citizen Kane. The Iron Giant...your "good movies seen in 2011" list even contains some which are among my all-time favourites:
The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly / Psycho / Alien / The French Connection (by far and forever my most favorite cop thriller) / Rashomon / Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (best buddy movie ever made) / Pinocchio / The Apartment / The Sting / M*A*S*H
Your meh list contains two movies which I really like as I have a soft spot for some of the Disney movies which are generally considered as weaker in comparison to the classics:
- The Black Cauldron (I love this one - one of the darkest Disney movies; has a "Dark Crystal" vibe to it)
- The Great Mouse Detective
I like both more than The Princess and the Frog which isn't a bad movie either, but the screenplay felt a bit too obviously constructed and screamed a bit too loud: "This is for you, the old-fashioned Disney fans - a handdrawn one with charming songs, just like in the old days!"
Your meh list contains a movie which disappointed me like probably no other movie in the past 15 years:
- Gladiator
I expected something...if not on par with, then at least half as good as Kubrick's Spartacus, but the Gladiator screenplay and dialogues are not even half as good as Spartacus', they are actually light years behind, just like Zimmer's/Gerrard's shitty synthesized-strings hero music is worlds apart from Alex North's outstanding Spartacus score (I'm also a movie score fan).
Your lists also contain some movies which I liked when I first saw them in cinema or on TV but for some reason can't stand anymore:
- Rain Man
- American Beauty (I still like the score though)
. Being John Malkovich (same: still like the beautiful score, can't stand - or better said - don't want to watch the movie anymore)
- Platoon
