I remember feeling pretty disappointed with the ’09 movies because I kept on disliking the critics’ darlings. I have noticed that a lot of critics’ lists this year are dominated by foreign films, which goes to show how weak the American offerings were. Since I didn’t see nor like enough films that I saw, I can’t really make a best-of list, but I will rank the movies I saw from 2009 from best to worst.
Moon
The Cove
The Girlfriend Experience
Drag Me To Hell
Bruno
Orphan
Last House on the Left
Antichrist
Up
A Serious Man
A Perfect Getaway
Avatar
Inglourious Basterds
District 9
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
Halloween II
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Sunshine Cleaning
House of the Devil
Paranormal Activity
The Hangover
Worst film of the year
Dead Snow
