Of the movies I've seen, here's my list of the 10 best films of 2009:
#10. District 9
#9. Invictus
#8. Up
#7. Inglourious Basterds
#6. Moon
#5. Star Trek
#4. 500 Days of Summer
#3. The Hangover
#2. Avatar
#1. Up in the Air - excellent script, excellent direction, and a hell of a performance from the three stars. First film that actually made me *like* George Clooney! No, in all seriousness he plays a lovable prick in this Jason Reitman film. Goddamnit!
My apologies to "Precious", "The Hurt Locker", and Meryl Streep as I did not see any of those movies.
Notable mentions:
"The Cove" was perhaps the best documentary of '09 followed by "Food Inc."
"Coraline" was a fantastic animated film and if it wasn't for Pixar, it would have won Best Animated Feature Film IMHO.
Congrats to all the Golden Globe Winners, especially Michael C. Hall for "Dexter." It was also great to see Scorsese get his dues and his award presented by his two stars DeNiro and DiCaprio. Looking forward to "Shutter Island" and "Inception", both DiCaprio films should be great considering they are directed by Scorsese and Nolan, respectively.
