1) Avatar 2) Star Trek 3) Adventureland 4) The Hangover 5) 500 Days of Summer I still need to catch up on several movies though looking at everybody's list(Up, inglorious basterds, zombieland,the hurt locker, Funny People).
G.I. JOE was a freaking badass movie, despite the acting and the plot holes, the action was quite nice... star trek harry potter avatar the proposal gi joe probably missing a few, can't recall all the films i've seen this year
Kindly note raj's fabulous five films of 2009: 5. Star Trek - Significantly superior to the Star Wars revisits. 4. Blind Side - Inspirational, revealing experience. 3. Coraline - raj's arachnophobia was fully exploited in this otherwise pleasant feature. 2. The Hangover - Heh. Heh. Heh. 1. American High School - Many men and women will never actually see this film, however the year's best line of script comes the actor Scotty Kyle in American High School: "Wait a minute. I see a guy dancing with another girl. Yep. You know why he's with that leggy blonde? I'll tell you why. There's a lot of reasons. But one of them, come to mind, she's f-able. And you're sitting here with a guy with a mustache, and a 2 inch -----"
1. Star Trek(Way surpassed my expectations) 2. Half Blood Prince (Good, but no where near the book) 3. New Moon (Yeah, f*** off, I liked it) 4. Angels & Demons 5. Transformers 2 (Hated the 1st one, but liked this one) 6. Terminator Salvation (Christian Bale kept this from being number 1) 7. Rise of the Lycans 8. The Proposal (semi funny) 9. Inglourious Basterds 10. Friday the 13th (I'm really grasping for something) Those make it over Bride Wars, GI Joe, and Last House on the Left. I can't believe I've only seen 13 new movies from 2009.
District 9 Zombieland Inglorious Bastids Wonder Woman Star Trek Will be seeing Avatar and Hurt Locker shortly so my list might changed
I've seen less than 13. The only new movies I watched were Star Trek Avatar Watchmen Inglourious The Hangover Transformers 2 District 9 Bandslam G.I. Joe Up 500 Days of Summer So that's 11, I need to watch Moon online somewhere.
new releases 1. inglorious basterds 2. star trek 3. district 9 4. fantastic mr. fox 5. zombieland (biggest 'pleasant surprise' of the year) non 2009 stuff i saw 1. slumdog millionaire (saw it in january) 2. lonesome dove (had never seen it before) 3. ong-bak/the protector - both tony jaa movies i saw at the same time 4. dig - brian jonestown massacre vs. the dandy warhols - documentary about two overrated bands who are full of themselves and do way too much cocaine. 5. john adams (hbo movie)
i agree. the impression i got was that this was a movie made for people who were already fans of the graphic novel. i saw it w/ 2 people who read it and they loved it and the 2 who didnt were like "meh...it was ok".
I'm not much of a movie goer, but here it is: Star Trek I Love You Man Watchmen Inglorious Basterds District 9 I haven't watched Avatar, and evidently I really need to catch the Hangover. From the sounds of it, I think these 2 would make it into my list.
1. Star Trek 2. Avatar 3. District 9 4. Harry Potter 6 (Laugh all you want...) 5. Taken or Gran Torino (can't decide)
My favorites of 2009... Food Inc Adventureland I Love you Man 500 Days of Summer The Hangover Zombieland Avatar Up Up In the Air Star Trek District 9 Still need to see: The Hurt Locker, Moon, A Serious Man, Inglorious Basterds, Invictus, An Education, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, The Road Meh: Away We Go, Funny People Sucked Major Balls: Observe and Report, She's Just Not That Into You.
In no particular order: Up 500 Days of Summer Up in the Air Sherlock Holmes (yeah, I know...) District 9 Avatar Away We Go The Hurt Locker Harry Potter 6 (again, I know...) The Hangover
1. Avatar 2. Star Trek 3. Half Blood Prince 4. District 9 5. Cloudy w/ A Chance of Meatballs There's still a number of movies I need to see...Sherlock Holmes, Up in the Air, Inglorious Bastards, Where the Wild Things Are, 500 Days, Hurt Locker. And I actually prefer Cloudy just a bit over Up...Up was a great movie but I don't think I can watch it over and over again. If I had a bottom five list GI Joe would probably take 3 spots. It was horrible, and all I was looking for was a fun, popcorn-filled 2 hours. Trash. The freakin' ice sank!
Top movies, tough to choose only 5 500 Days of Summer Hangover I Love You Man Funny People Adventureland Away We Go - a good movie nobody watched Taken Zombieland Funny People and Adventureland were a lot better if you take the movies for what it was a dramedy, not a LOL comedy A few I haven't seen that may crack the list, Up in the Air, Up, and Inglorious Bastards The Goods was the worst movie I've seen in ages, id probably watch Disaster Movie again rather than watching that again
Harry Potter 6 UP Star Trek Terminator Salvation Avatar Watchmen Sherlock Holmes in order...all movies I enjoyed
