Awww, craaap. There are a few I haven’t seen that I’m sure would make this list. For example, Avatar, Sherlock Holmes, The Road, Up in the Air and Invictus. Sorry, y’all. Well, add your ten anyway.

I think I’ve seen everything I really wanted to this year except for Sherlock Holmes, so exluding that…
10 - Funny People - Easily Apatow’s worst, but there are still some hilarious jokes.
9 - Inglorious Basterds - Not nearly as good as I’d hoped, and as a film it doesn’t flow very well, but each individual scene is done well, and a few are done GREAT.
8 - (500) Days of Summer - A surprisingly truthful rom-dram-com.
7 - I Love You, Man - Yeah, it’s the peak of “bromances”, but it’s also pretty funny.
6 - The Hangover - Really surprised me. Very funny.
5 - Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder - Better than the first movie, not as good as the third.
4 - Watchmen - I did not expect to like it that much. Haven’t seen the Director’s Cut yet.
3 - Star Trek - Super action awesome fun.
2 - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince - I thought the PG rating was a cop out until I saw it. Appropriately dark and funny, in turns.
1 - District 9 - I was not prepared for this movie. After fifteen-twenty minutes I thought I’d gotten it all wrong and I did not want to see it anymore. When it was over I felt like there were still new and original movies that could totally blow you away. That’s a great feeling.
If we’re talking about movies released this year (2009)… my list is rather short, because as much as I enjoyed the new Harry Potter and wasn’t so underwhelmed by Terminator: Salvation, I don’t really want them on my list.
Star Trek
District 9
Up
La nana
Monsters Vs. Aliens
I suppose if we’re talking about movies we SAW in 2009, I’d have to put “Che” in there (though it was released in 2008, I FINALLY got to see it in 2009). Yeah, yeah…
Upon further thought, I’ve got to question something - why do we always assume people see things the year they’re released? With few exceptions I’m happy to wait awhile to see things, they go on the Netflix queue and I see them… eventually. When I think back on some of the most powerful films I’ve seen in the past year, very few of them were actually released this year. Maybe I’m just a behind-the-times filmviewer, but I can’t be the only one, right? 
No. You’re not. I realized when I made the thread, I hadn’t even seen 10 films made this year. looks around for Solai preparing to slap phew Anyway… Solai
’talos ouch…Ever vigilant, that Solai. Ever vigilant. So, where was I? Oh yeah, 10 films. I thot of making a seperate thread for 10 best films of the past decade but then thot, is the decade over or do we have to wait until 2011? How does that work?
IMO best movies of the decade would include all from 1.1.2000 til 31.12.2009, so 10 years all in all.
