You should watch 500 Days of Summer. It's a good movie. And I need to watch Hurt Locker, Up In The Air and Funny People.

500 days is in my netflix queue and should have been on my list of possible spot contenders.

[Majsju]

Ouch, I have been really bad at watching new movies this year, only seen three of the ones Empy listed, including the ones he wants to see. Star Trek, Watchmen and Inglorious Basterds.

 

Left to see of his mentions, that I really want to see, are Up and Nine. But I am mostly looking forward to White Ribbon. Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, Broken Embraces, Antichrist, Un prophète and Samson and Delilah also looks promising.

[Krakalakachkn]

Up was fantastic and beautiful, both artistically and plotwise.

 

Inglorious Basterds was really good, by far my favorite Tarantino movie.

 

I can't wait to see the Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

[Sirayn]

Star Trek better than District 9? Really? Star Trek was fun, but lightweight. I'd rank the (only) three movies I saw this year in this order:

 

1. District 9

2. Zombieland

3. Star Trek

[SinisterDeath]

I wasn't impressed by District 9.

It presented its self as a true sci-fi movie that we haven't seen in decades, and what was revealed was just more  of the same.

[Majsju]

Empy, I think you should throw in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus on your list of movies to see that could make your list. Terry Gilliams is one of our times most interesting moviemakers after all.

And now that I have seen it, I would say it is one of his better movies. Not as brilliant as Brazil, but still a great movie. Just the opportunity to see Tom Waits play the Devil makes it worth seeing ;D.

 

Also, just saw White Ribbon, and it is every bit as great as I was hoping for. And in its own way one of the scariest movies I have seen the last decade or so.

[Emperor]

Star Trek better than District 9? Really? Star Trek was fun, but lightweight. I'd rank the (only) three movies I saw this year in this order:

 

1. District 9

2. Zombieland

3. Star Trek

 

My 2 - 4 could easily be jumbled depending on my mood.  I will rewatch Star Trek and think on it.  I think I plan to see Precious this weekend and I hope that makes the list.

Just watched 500 Days of Summer.  Updated.

[Emperor]

Going to see The Road tomorrow so it may score a spot on my list.

 

Also I forgot about Sunshine Cleaning which may work itself in as well.  We will see.

[Cadsuane]

Sunshine Cleaning was lovely. Watched it on NYE with the roomie and a bottle of awful champagne. *nod*

[Joram]

Sunshine Cleaning was great, but I was a little surprised at the direction the conflicts turned in. I was expecting problems from the competing cleaning service that Sunshine Cleaning kept underbidding.

 

I guess that's what I get for reading The Mystic Arts Of Erasing All Signs of Death just before watching it.

[Emperor]

Ok watched Precious and Public Enemies over the weekend.

 

Precious was... gritty... real... but it failed to deliver that knock out punch.  Monique is a shue in for Oscar nomination, if not a win.  I am not sure what the hype is about Mariah Carey.  She is in about 10 minutes of the movie.  Maybe it was because she was not drunk...

 

Public Enemies was nothing special.  It wasn't bad nor was it awesome.

 

The Road - I am still chewing this one over in my head.  Very dark movie but this is good because the book was dark.  Viggo was excellent.  The boy was annoying.  Overall I liked the movie.. but unsure if it deserve a top 10 spot.

Star Trek on two places?

 

I only saw one movie 2009. 2012.   It was... OK, I guess.  :-\

 

 

[Far Dareis Mai]

LOL ooops! Thanks for pointing that out. I was quite tired when I made that list.

Wait... you only went to one movie and you chose to go to 2012?  Do you need a hug?  2012 is not even on my netflix list with the losers like Obsessed and...errr... Transformers 2.  That is like saying the only movie I saw this year was Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakel. 

[Nightstrike]

Thanks, I happily accept the hug. :D
