the hurt locker inglorious basterds zombieland sherlock holmes the hangover those are my top 5 of the yearFUBAR24

Sherlock Holmes surprised me. Robert Downey jr., and Jude Law were much better than I was expecting. They had great chemistry. The plot may not have been that good, and the slow motion annoyed me at times but it was a decent film.

Paranormal Activity. Public Enemies. Harry Potter 6. The Hangover. Thin Ice (Made For TV Movie.)

These are my favorites from the year:

• The Hangover
• District 9
• Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
• Pelham 1 2 3
• Inglorious Basterds
• Zombieland
• UP
• Star Trek
• Taken

I"ve seen and liked a few others as well but these are the ones that really stood out to me.

I just watched Avatar today. Easily my favourite movie of 2009. I'd rate it as one of my favourites also.

Inglourious Basters was a rank movie.

I did like The Hangover though.

I was actually thinking Jude Law could have played Holmes well. Also I like the idea of an older Sherlock Holmes, someone like Timothy Dalton could play him very well. If Holmes had to be younger though then Paddy Considine could play him too.

I wouldn't say having only 3 people live is a bad thing:P

4.watchmen

5.where the wild thing are

6.funny people

honorary mention: zombieland it awesome :)

All I know is, Lord of the Rings was awesome.

And Space Jam? What a movie that was.

Seriously though, I didn't see many of the new movies this year. So to me, the best I saw in the cinema was probably Inglroious Basterds.

I haven't seen many new movies this year but the ones I liked were Star Trek, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and The Hangover. Watchmen was okay, but not as good as the graphic novel. Terminator Salvation and Wolverine were dissappointing.

My favourites for 2009

• Avatar
• Star Trek
• 2012
• Inglroious Basterds
• Drag me to Hell
• Orphan

Quite a few.

Glad someone else likes Pandorum. I thought it was a good film. Ben Foster was good in it. The same directed did a good film called Antibodies.

Loved Sherlock Holmes, it was cool the way he explained what he did and it's affects before doing it. The worlds greatest dad. How I hated that movie, it was just so stupid. I mean some on, smack the kid across the face, take his computer away. I didn't even find it too funny, I mean sure there's times where I smiled but nothing more than that.Mushrooom_Man

Yeah World's greatest dad seems to be a love or hate kinda film. I loved the dark humor in it, and how we are meant to hate the kid. Robin Williams was great in it too. The plot was a bit ridiculous, but I think that added to the film. There have been 3 great dark comedies this year, Bad Lieutenant, A Serious Man, and Worlds greatest dad. Usually there is not even 1.

I'm glad Avatar came out at the end of the year, because a lot of movies I saw earlier would have paled next to that masterpiece.

No, it's not a bad thing, I mean it was a crazy movie. It's hilarious, though, when Hitler is just layin' dead and you see all the bullets spray onto his face, that's funny. And come to think of it, the black guy probably got away too.

Hasn't changed since I first made that list.

I never understood what was so great about "up" then again i've never seen it.Mushrooom_Man

I suppose that's a pretty good reason for not understanding why a movie is supposed to be great

The fact that the school year changes in the middle of the calendar year always throws me off when thinking about albums/movies/books of the year. The spring and the start of summer seem like ages ago.

That is so true. It's impossible for me to believe that I Love You, Man came out this year, it seems like forever ago.

Exactly. I watched that on DVD about two months ago and was thinking it came out in '08 until I read this week that it was a 2009 release.

Did you just post a bigger list than me:evil: Good list though, some interesting choices too. I quite liked Extact, I think it was more consistant than Idiocracy, and people seem to forget about Sunshine cleaning but I quite liked it too. Last house on the left is one of the few remakes that is better than the original. Glad you liked The Vicious kind, I thought it was one of the biggest surprises of 2009. Adam Scott was fantastic, and so was J.K Simmons. I really wanted to like Duplicity since I loved Michael Clayton, but for some reason it felt overly complex and quirky. Clive Owen, and Julia Roberts were great in it though. Also I am glad you picked Whip it, the story may have been cliche as hell, but I found it to be very delightful. Ellen Page was great in it. The Girlfriend experience is an interesting choice, did you see Soderberg's other film this year The Informant? I have always liked him as a director, his films Che, and Bubble are my favorites of his recently. You should see Yesterday was a lie, it is a strange sci fi film noir that might be on DVD by now. I really wanted to see 35 shots of rum since it was playing at my local arthouse theater, but I cant drive yet so I missed it since my friend wanted to see something else.

Hasn't changed since I first made that list.

Nerd_Man

You are making want to watch Adventureland. Stop that:cry: You should see The Vicious Kind. If you like Adventureland you would like that.

Yes I did post a bigger list :P but this list ranges from 10/10 - 6/10, mainly just all the films I enjoyed.I watched Whip It last night, and as you said it did have a lot of cliches, but it was such a fun and entertaining film, the story had its touching moments and the acting was great from Ellen Page. I did not see The Informant, but there was just something I really liked and admired about The Girlfriend experience.
