2009 has left us yesterday and will leave us memories of some pretty good movies. It hasn’t been a great movie year but looking back at all the movies that came out in 2009 there’s still a descent list of great movies.

#10 – Paranormal Activity
Paranormal Activity was flat out the scariest movie I’ve seen in a very long time. The main cast did such an amazing job playing their parts that it felt real. The scene where Katie gets dragged across the room is one of the best horror scenes I’ve ever seen.


#9 – The Informant
Matt Damon at his best !! The Informant was such a “Dumb” funny movie and I’m just dying to see it again.




#8 – Star Trek
Never liked the Star Trek movies and TV show. So basically I knew nothing related to Star Trek. JJ did an amazing job at bringing back this dead franchise and making sure everyone could enjoy it, without being a fan of the franchise.


#7 – Julie and Julia
A terrific little movie featuring a great cast of Amy Adams, Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. No doubt in mind that Meryl might get an Oscar nomination for her role as Julia Child




#6 – Sherlock Holmes
Guy Ritchie did an amazing job at bringing a new flavor to the cult classic Sherlock Holmes. The movie was just fun to watch and ended the year greatly. Robert Downey Jr. once again plays a character amazingly.


#5 – The Hurt Locker
An independent movie that a lot of people probably never heard of but was the highlight in most film festival, where the film also received a 10 minute standing-ovation during the premier at the Venice Film Festival.




#4 – District 9
i will start this one off by mentioning the incredible and creative marketing District 9 had !! What else can I say about this film, one of the best alien movies out there. If you haven’t seen it, What are you waiting for ???


#3 – Avatar
Avatar is visually one the most beautiful and most breathtaking movies ever made. As many critics mentionned, the story itself is disappointing. Avatar is most definitely a must-see movie.




#2 – The Hangover
One of the funniest movie since The 40 Year Old Virgin. The Hangover was the biggest surprise of 2009 and is one of the most anticipated sequel coming up in 2011.




#1 – Up
No surprise that pixar created another movie gem. Up is a moving and touching movie that also makes you laugh from start to finish. Cant wait to see what pixar will come out with next.

Here you go. What movies made your list this year.
