What was your favorite film of 2009?

Lol, this thread is done almost every day. :P

For me, Inglorious Basterds, with Avatar at a close second.

Samurai_Xavier

this. well said

For me it is a tie between The Road, and The White Ribbon. There are tons of other great films from this year though, its been a good one overall.

Star Trek. Grand stuff.

Up gets the silver, though.

Moon.

Niff_T

I can't really say which is the one best film of 09 but out of the films I've seen I've really enjoyed Inglorious Basterds, Moon, Avatar, and District 9. There are still others I plan to see eventually like The Hurt Locker, Up in the Air, In the Loop, (500) Days of Summer, etc.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"][QUOTE="Hackers90"]1.Avatar 2.Terminator Salvation I never saw District 9 in 2009 but am going to buy it on blu-ray. Up to me looks a childs film so I'll avoid that one!Crazyguy105

Yes what he said. :P

I thought the same thing. I kept thinking Up was going to have immature humor and whatnot but I was really surprised when it didn't. It focused on a more emotional and storyline then humor. It had some funny stuff but it couldn't be considered a full fledged comedy. I found some of the scenes to be very sad.

I will admit this though...

I cried everytime I saw the beginning. :?

district 9

District 9, Up in the Air, Watchman (don't get me wrong it could of been better), Zomieland.

Probably District 9. James Cameron is gonna crap himself when District 9 wins film of the year and Avatar doesnt, seeing as it cost like 10 timesless moneyto make.

Also,

Let the right one in. Swedish vampire movie. Incredible film.

AVATAR!!!!

SaintLeonidas

I think it is their best film by far. It is much more consistant than Wall-E which I thought had a weaker second half. Up though stayed pretty consistant with it's themes and characters. The dogs got a bit silly though but it was still a very good film. Not as good as Mary & Max, but still this is the first time in years where all the potential best animated feature oscar could go to anyone and I would be happy. This has been a great for animated films.

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]

[QUOTE="Hackers90"] Hmmm, it seems alot of people are saying Up is their favourite film of 2009. I may have to check it out. But I still think it looks childish, I mean its about an old man that attaches balloons to his house -_- Film-Guy

how could you not love the dogs? :P

[QUOTE="Film-Guy"]

[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"] As always Pixar uses what appears to be a childish, unrealistic or simple premises to convey some of the most mature and emotional stories in any films these days. All you need to do is watch the first ten minutes, a quick little montage of the old mans life and instantly realize that this film is actually targeted more towards adults than children. I highly recommend you give it a chance.

Oh i did especially Dug, but when they got in planes that got a bit silly. I also liked Christopher plummer's voicing Charles Muntz.

James Cameron is gonna crap himself when District 9 wins film of the year and Avatar doesnt,

Uh, what? Neither film will win Best Picture (if that's what you're referring to).

I get the feeling that James Cameron might get another Oscar for Avatar. I don't know why, I just have a strange feeling. Or maybe that is just diarrhea:o I hope it doesnt though. Both are good films but there are much better films.

or maybe its just the the acedemy loves to kiss james cameron's butt :P

i still say IMHO that district 9 deserves to get nominated (maybe win) best picture, i just loved it so much. it was a perfect blend of action, character development, writing, comedy, social commentary, special FX. i enjoyed it more then every movie ive seen this year

Its between Up and the Hangover for me. I really didn't care for Avatar, but watching dances with smurfs before hand probably ruined it for me (well that...and the fact the plot was a total rip off of Pocahontus :P). I haven't seen the hurtlocker though, that seems to be getting a lot of shouts...

the hangover

Either Zombieland or The Hangover.. Ohh i wanna see The Road, i just finished reading the book a couple hours ago.

The Hurt Locker. It's one of the best war films this...er last decade? :P

I still need to see Avatar and Inglourious Basterds, but I doubt those films will change my mind.

Tropic Thunder and Step Brothers.:lol:

Top 5

District 9

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Avatar

Up

Hurt Locker

I thought Moon was one of the best of the decade more like.

The Hurt Locker wasn't only my favorite film of 2009, but I think it might be my favorite film of the entire decade. JML897

Star Trek

Up and Zombieland.

It has to be Avatar, no questions asked. XD

Sherlock Holmes, Moon and The Damned United were all close on my list. I think Sherlock edges it though, I really enjoyed that film.

Hey how about Jennifer's Body.....J/K, probably Star Trek....

I enjoyed Up alot
