Daytripper

OK, I searched and only found a "best and worst" thread (which only listed one or two films in each category) and an Oscar thread, but didn't see anyone's 10 best list. That said, what does your list look like. Mine:


1) The Hurt Locker / Inglorious Basterds (tie)

2) Avatar

3) (500) Days of Summer

4) Up

5) District 9

6) Sin Nombre

7) Star Trek

8) Zombieland

9) An Education

10) The Class

Update....I just want to add that I still haven't seen Summer Hours, Where the Wild Things Are, Crazy Heart, The White Ribbon or A Serious Man yet.

Solid Snake

Well...these are my favorites...a somewhat odd list, imo. Is it the best of the year....probably not..but I sure as hell did love seeing them.

Still need to see a lot though: Up in the Air, The Road, Sherlock Holmes, Zombie Land & The Hurt Locker. Also, Taken was a 2008 film to those who have it in their lists.

Daytripper

"Taken" was released in U.S. theaters January 2009.

Boba Fett

Eh, I'm removing it from mine. Otherwise, going by that methodology, Oldboy should be my Top Film of 2005 instead of 2003, since it took two years for it to show up theatrically in the US.

Sondheim

1. Fantastic Mr. Fox
2. Lorna's Silence
3. A Serious Man
4. Inglourious Basterds
5. Ponyo
6. Antichrist

HM: Coraline, The Hurt Locker, Sin Nombre

I still haven't seen "Avatar", "Up in the Air", "A Single Man", "The Princess and the Frog", "Ballast", "Goodbye Solo", "The Last Station", "The Brothers Bloom", "Broken Embraces", "The White Ribbon", "35 Shots of Rum", "A Prophet", "Summer Hours", "Still Walking", "You, the Living", "Police, Adjective" and a number of other films that have been getting very good reviews.

Shannon Nutt

Still a few movies I need to see (Sherlock Holmes, The Lovely Bones, Invictus, It's Complicated, Nine), but here's my list so far:

1. Inglourious Basterds
2. Star Trek
3. Up In The Air
4. Avatar
5. New Moon
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
7. Julie & Julia
8. Where The Wild Things Are
9. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3
10. Watchmen

Wasn't a very good year for movies, IMHO. There's a HUGE jump in quality from the top 4 on my list and the remaining 6, which probably wouldn't make a top ten list of mine in a typical year.

Maxflier

That or The Hangover would be my #1.

Worst I've seen this year would definately be Transformers 2.

fumanstan

In no particular order -

-(500) Days of Summer
-The Hangover
-Up
-Star Trek
-Inglorious Basterds
-Zombieland
-The Boondock Saints 2
-Avatar

Everything past this is a slight step down for me. I've also been disappointed by a lot of highly rated movies, including Coraline, Drag Me To Hell, District 9, and Harry Potter

Dr Mabuse

I hate choosing ten, I always forget something. Also not in any particular order as to preference.

1. District 9
2. Goodbye Solo
3. The Hurt Locker
4. Moon
5. The Hangover
6. Up
7. Vengeance
8. Red Cliff (the 2-part original release)
9. Public Enemies (Mann's best film)
10. Funny People

I hate my list already. I didn't have room for some stuff and I know I've forgotten a couple. I haven't seen some of the films people are raving about yet also.

Sessa17

The 2-part original release came out nearly 2 full years ago in 2008. It shoudn't count for this thread. If that was the case, I could list Gone With the Wind as my favorite movie this year, since I just watched it for the first time.

Dr Mabuse

Actually the second film was in 2009, and won film awards in Hong Kong as a 2009 film.

'IP Man' and 'City of Life and Death' were on my list too, just no room.

Blu Man

It's not April 1st yet.

Sessa17

This list shouldn't really count as there is a ton I haven't seen yet (Mr. Fox, which I'm sure will crack my top 10, Up in the Air, Moon, Bronson, etc etc. ), but I think as of right now this would be my 10 most enjoyable movie experiences of 2009.

10. Moon
9. Red Cliff I & II (Both films, not the US cut, since Dr. Mabuse pointed out this is a 2009 film)
8. The Hurt Locker
7. Broken Embraces
6. An Education
5. Inglorious Basterds
4. (500) Days of Summer
3. The Last Station
2. Star Trek
1. Thirst

DonnachaOne

4) (500) Days of Summer
5) Up
