Forums - General Discussion - Favorite films of 2009

UP! and Ponyo are two of my favourites this year.

Among them are Inglorious Basterds, 500 Days of Summer, District 9, Zombieland and Harry Potter (which is admittedly, not necessarily as good as the others... I just like it.) Gran Turino would be there as well, however I'm unsure if it was released this year or not.

I still haven't seen Where the Wild Things Are, though I'm expecting to enjoy it quite a bit.



Around the Network

Well add Basterds to my list. It just came out in Korea. Got to say, it's not often that a historical fiction can have such a surprising ending.



I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do. 

Chrizum is the best thing to happen to the internet, Period.

Serves me right for challenging his sales predictions!

Bet with dsisister44: Red Steel 2 will sell 1 million within it's first 365 days of sales.

Ok, So Basterds and 2012 manage to take top and bottom honours.

Basterds was just such an immensely enjoyable film, flushed out with such thorough and intriguing character development and dialogue that it easily warrants a second viewing in theatres.

2012... Well it was no Transformers 2, it certainly suggests that the disaster genre just doesn't have anything left in it. We got some amazing special effects, but nothing new, and nothing to warrant a thirty two hour long film. At least that's how long it felt.

im seeing 2012 tomorrow, and nothing can ruin my excitement!
While on the topic of Roland Emmerich, 10,000bc was probably the worst movie ever.



Local cinema is showing Akira in a few weeks time.

I've only seen it on DVD so I can't wait to catch it on the big screen!

I know it isn't a 2009 movie. But its still damn good!



Around the Network

I also have big hopes for The Road releasing in a few weeks,

If it's anywhere near as good as the book, we're in for a treat.



I found Adventureland pretty boring and predictable.

Fantastic Mr Fox has to be my favourite so far. I wasn't expecting much as I was told it wasn't particularly good, but I actually preferd the storyline and animation to Up.

I'm hoping Where the Wild Things are will be amazing though. I loved the book and I haven't looked forward to a film this much... ever.



District 9, Up, Inglorious Bastards, Watchmen, Star Trek



I enjoyed the hell out of Star Trek and Zombieland in a totally geeky way.
