Best of 2009

[Prestonxsmith]

Its that time of year.

You may include more, but at least have this:

Top 10 movies
Best Performance
Best Director

I will try to post mine tonight. Have at it.

[Thomas Balkcom]

so many movies left in the year, no way I will do this until at least the first of the year

[Prestonxsmith]

Yes, granted some of the most anticipated films of the year come out in the coming weeks, lets go ahead with what we've got.

[Thomas Balkcom]

I didn't see 7/10 top films from last year until mid to late December

I got your point the first time. But nevertheless, some great films have already come out. I am sure you have at least ten that you could list, then others post theirs. Discussion follows. And its not like you can't make edits to your original list.

just making a general statement

[Thomas Balkcom]

making a list right now, District 9 would be so much higher than I would have imagined it would ever be when I first heard about it early in the year. I was so shocked by how much I loved that film.

[Prestonxsmith]

District 9 might be in my top 5. I have to look at the list of movies that came out and realize how many I saw.

[popdisaster00]

Sorry I'm with tommy (?) too early for me to make a list. yes I could make one right now based on what I've seen but it will probably just change in a month or two anyway.

Thomas or Tommy, either way.

[popdisaster00]

Thomas or Tommy, either way.
But not Tom?

[Thomas Balkcom]

But not Tom?

haha, if you're so inclined. It's my father's name so I've always gone by the other two. May I ask your name?

Agreed. I'm guessing that Up In the Air will take honors in my performance and movie category. I can't pull the trigger on this list yet.

The Movie List thread is something totally different.

[irthesteve]

will have to look back at what i actually saw this year, but Brothers Bloom is prob my top pick and 500days is up there as well, forget what else came out really

[vincentgrippi]

Movie: The White Ribbon

[yellowhouse]

I dont know about my top ten favorites, but The Hurt Locker and A Serious Man are tied for my favorite movie of the year.

[yellowhouse]

Movie: The White Ribbon

I want to see that so bad.

[friskycurtain]

My favorites movies of the year are 9 and Paranormal Activity.

[erccentea]

Inglorious Bastards, Hurt Locker, District 9, Paranormal Activity, The Hangover...only ones that come off the top of my head. Was "Let the Right One In" considered 2009? I love that movie.
