My top 4 off the top of my head..

1) The Hangover - GOAT comedy
2) District 9 - Great Sci-fi movie, great all around movie.
3) Star Trek - Really good movie that had some great moments
4) Up - Another gem by Pixar

I haven't seen "The Blind side" yet, but I've heard it's a great movie as well..

I'm sure I'll think of some more in a bit..

The Hangover...by a wide margin.

I thought there were a lot of decent movies, but not a lot of great movies this year.

So I'm in the huge minority here, I still haven't seen The Hangover. But did I Love You, Man come out this year? One of my favorites.

Man, I saw the Hangover on a flight back from Europe, and after watching it I thought it was vastly overrated. However, I guess all the great parts were edited out because of the public flight, so I really need to watch it again -- my experience was certainly not as great as everyone else, including all of my friends who swear its the best comedy of all-time. Need to check it out!

Ahh, knew I'd forget one...

The Watchmen was a terrific movie as well..

Haven't seen Public Enemies, but it's on my Netflix Queue.

Inglorious Basterds was a good movie, but not great. 1/3 of that movie should not have happened, loved the ending though.

Public Enemies and Inglorious Basterds were both letdowns to me. Public Enemies had to much of a love story in it and Basterds didn't have enough of the actual basterds in it.

1. District 9
2. Paranormal Activity
3. The Hangover
4. Watchmen
5. Up
6. Inglorious Bastards


I think Avatar can be as good if not better than all of these.

I agree. The scenes with the Basterds were pretty damn good. If the movie was about them in it's entirety, it could have been one of the top 3 movies this year, imo..

Hangover
Watchmen
Law Abiding Citizen
Zombieland


Put me into the group who was let down by Inglorious Basterds. I do agree that if the whole movie solely included the Basterds it could have been great.

District 9
Inglorious Basterds
Watchmen

If they start showing The Road anywhere near me, I have a feeling it will make the list.

In no particular order

Star Trek
Taken
Monsters vs Aliens
State of Play
Up
The Hangover
GI Joe
Inglorious Basterds
Zombieland

Didn't get to see 500 Days of Summer which was supposed to be very good and have to see Avatar and Sherlock Holmes before finalizing my list. District 9 bored me but had some good parts. Transformers 2 was awful, Harry Potter was just ok, and nothing else truly sticks out to me.
