Best Film of 2009 so far.........

Watchmen, Star Trek, Moon & District 9

I also just watched Quantum of Solace on BD - it was still showing at the cinema in January 09, so if it counts I'll add that in.

Star Trek.It's my #1 because I was never a huge fan of the show but I loved this film and I never expected to enjoy as much as I did :D .It was just exhuberant to watch and the cast of mostly unknowns really made the roles their own.I'm looking forward to getting the DVD next week :)
 
District 9 is my favourite film of 2009 & one of my favourite films ever.

Great acting & with a message that you can take home & ponder: not just another disposable, mindless alien sci-fi flick.

Honourable mentions to Harry Brown, The Wrestler & Watchmen.
 
Jackassfan, your film choices have been of much interest to me over the past months- how on earth do you find them?!? I've added a lot of your top picks to my lovefilm list! :) Have a good Xmas!

sorry; forgot to say - Avatar!
 
9 of my top 10 i have watched online, some of them dont even have release dates for this country and i dont have enough patience to wait :D

You have a good christmas as well
 
Films i enjoyed the most is ....

1 New Moon
2 Slumdog Millionair


Did not enjoy Public Enemy , was quite disspointed as my friend dragged me along to see it and it was quite awful.
 
Can't say I've seen a 'great' film this year.

Gran Torino may be the best, along with the one about the concert standard busker (can't recall the name at the moment).

Enjoyed Star Trek, Fish Tank, The Wrestler (Rorke was outstanding in this - maybe the best bit of acting in the year, better than I thought he could be) & Slumdog (which will be a Baanl Holiday staple before long). None of these will be 'must see again' films - maybe but wouldn't make a big effort, certainly won't buy.

Not a classic year for films.
 
Overall Best Film of 2009: Star Trek
Horror: Martyrs (followed by Let The Right One In)
Comedy: The Hangover
Sci-Fi: Moon
Drama: Gran Torino
Animation: Up
Comic Book(Okay, "Graphic Novel"...): Watchmen

Biggest Disappointment: The Wrestler (apart from Mickey Rourke's admittedly brilliant acting, it was basically just a rehash of Rocky...but less interesting)
