I've only seen 5 of the 11 ((500) Days of Summer, The Hurt Locker, Inglourious Basterds, Star Trek, and Up) and I agree with all of them so far.

It's nice to see Star Trek get recognition, but In The Loop was terribly disappointing and 500 Days of Summer was downright awful. Also interesting to see District 9 listed as an independent film and 500 Days of Summer not listed as one. FWIW, I think both are studio films.

Rypro 525

500 days, debuted at sundance with no distributer, according to wiki anyways. Fox searchlight bought it at sundance. So that technically makes it an Indie. I think District 9 was made and produced by Peter Jackson's company, and Tri Star just distributed it/.

That's just, like, your opinion, man. I really enjoyed (500) Days of Summer.

I've seen all but 3 of the top 11 (I haven't seen The Messenger, Up in the Air, Invicuctus). It's a decent list, although I'm still not sure about A Serious Man it just pissed me off so much, and I would've liked to see a spot on there for The Fantastic Mr. Fox which I preferred to Where the Wild Things Are.

I haven't seen any of the independent ones I don't think, although I know my wife saw and hated Two Lovers.

I was a huge fan of (500) days of summer as well.
