Top 10 Movies - 2009

Every year Buttin and I make a list of the top 10 films (we've seen). We make our list separately and then compare. Our taste in movies (at least the really good ones) is pretty similar, so there's usually some overlap.

Being the awesome movie critic that I am, I decided to share our picks with all (two) of my readers.

My List		Buttin's List
10	500 Days of Summer	10	Paranormal Activity
9	Drag Me To Hell	9	Fantastic Mr. Fox
8	Coraline	8	The Damned United*
7	Where The Wild Things Are	7	Up
6	District 9	6	Up in the Air
5	Fantastic Mr. Fox	5	Goodbye Solo*
4	Inglorious Bastards	4	District 9
3	Up in the Air	3	Inglorious Bastards
2	Up	2	Crazy Heart*
1	The Hurt Locker	1	The Hurt Locker

Here are some Honorable Mentions:

Mine: An Education, The Hangover, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, The Invention of Lying and Paranormal Activity.

Buttin's: The Hangover, Moon, The Road, Sin Nombre*, Thirst* and Where The Wild Things Are.

This year we added a new category - Best Male & Female Performances.

Buttin's list includes - Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart), Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Bastards) and Michael Sheen (Damned United*); Mo'Nique (Precious*), Carey Mulligan (An Education) and Samantha Morton (The Messenger*)

My list includes - Sharlto Copley (District 9), Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker) and Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Bastards); Carey Mulligan (An Education), Catherine Keener (Where The Wild Things Are) and Anna Kendrick (Up In The Air).

*Movies that I did not see.

Buttin also added a category: The George Clooney Award.

This year - it went to George Clooney (Up In The Air).

George Clooney is pretty awesome. It'd be difficult to give that award to anyone else.
