Favorite movies of '09!

[Skol312000]

What is your favorite movie that came out this year? Weather on theaters or Dvd? Mine is Pineapple Express, dvd this year.

[Alexander]

I thought Pineapple Express was SUCH a let-down. :(

[mittenman]

I'm gonna let the rest of the year play out before I decide what my favorite movie is.

[Skol312000]

^post 2008 also .

[mittenman]

^post 2008 also .

2008 was so last year.

[connie]

I liked Be Kind, Rewind.

[Youngbinks]

I really enjoyed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Definitely worth a viewing. It is extremely similar to Forrest Gump (same writers).

[PepeRB29]

so far the inauguration has been tops on the list for me, very powerful and some day we will tell our kids and our grandchildren that we were alive to witness history. the economic crisis, for everything it is messing up, will make us a stronger and better nation when we emerge from it.

[TarekElsakka]

I liked Yes Man!

I haven't watched a lot of American movies lately though, I downloaded some but I haven't watched them yet. No freaking time!

[PepeRB29]

woops just realized this was a favorite "movies" thread lol

reading comprehension > me :)

[Hondamaker]

Benjamin Button was good, but I saw Gran Tourino twice. It was really excellent!

[kenneth]

well Im about to watch taken and gran tourino. so i will report back.

[Youngbinks]

My parents really enjoyed Gran Torino. I need to check it out at some point.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Gran Torino is a great film.

[kenneth]

Taken was a great show. I like the brutalness (if thats a word)

[Hondamaker]

Taken was a great show. I like the brutalness (if thats a word)I believe the word you're looking for is brutality.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Yeah, Taken was pretty good as well.

[Tex]

Button was the only movie I have seen in 2009, and it will be hard to beat...but lots of good competition out there. Gran Turino is tops on my list for Netflix when it comes out.

[PepeRB29]

i saw notorious last week with some friends, fittingly snuck in two 40's each. it was a pretty decent movie, better than i expected but it won't win any academy awards. if any of you are/were fans of biggy and 2pac back then i think you would enjoy it.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Button was the only movie I have seen in 2009, and it will be hard to beat...

Yeah -- I mean it's almost February already! :laugh2:

[cliffeman]

Mine were (in no particular order). these are just some i can think of at the moment.

Slumdog Millionaire
Let the Right One In
Gran Torino
Milk
Doubt
Dark Knight
Wall E
The Wrestler
Son of Rambo
Zack and Miri make a porno
Kung Fu Panda

[lady_bugz22]

We just got back from seeing Gran Torino & it's an excellent movie. Clint Eastwood is great!

Just another has-been to be honest :frown:.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Wrong. ....

[The Apple]

Seriously. You must not have said what you wanted to say properly, because it sounds like you are saying Clint Eastwood is no good at acting now.

Clint Eastwood on his worst day > Ben Stiller at his best.

[Hondamaker]

OMFG---Eastwood will never be a has-been. He's awesome as an actor/director. You can't go wrong with an Eastwood movie. Children don't know such things.

[Hondamaker]

Clint Eastwood on his worst day > Ben Stiller at his best.As much as I like Stiller, I have to agree with you. Eastwood is class.

[Youngbinks]

I finally got around to seeing Slumdog Millionaire yesterday and it was great. I highly recommend it.

[TarekElsakka]

I'm sorry then. I just never liked Clint Eastwood, really.

[Sahb]

Slumdog mill was a good movie, and I liked yes man also. So how many of u r looking forward to c dragon ball movie??

[Youngbinks]

There's a Dragon Ball Z movie coming out? I can't say that I'll watch it. I thought that the show went off the air years ago. I could be wrong.

Did anyone see Zack and Miri Make a Porno? I'm considering renting it but I haven't heard many good reviews.

Zack and Miri was hilarious! I highly recommend renting it, Binks.

[Hondamaker]

The latest movies I've seen: Underworld, Gran Torino, The Wrestler. All good movies.

[cliffeman]

Zack and Miri was hilarious! I highly recommend renting it, Binks.

Plus there's an hour and 35 mins of deleted scenes (enough to make a movie out it it) :eek:

[Youngbinks]

Zack and Miri was hilarious! I highly recommend renting it, Binks.

Thanks I'll have to check it out soon.

[Youngbinks]

I just saw 500 Days of Summer the other night and that was a fantastic movie. I highly recommend it.

Saw The Final Destination last night. I hate all these 3-D movies. You can CLEARLY see how hard they're trying to get stuff to be 3-D. For instance, the piece of word happens to fly across the room and "into your face". The movie was also bad.

Hey, you mirrored my choices, except I havent seen X-Games or The Orphan. I loved the rest, though. My wife hated the Wrestler, but I thought the acting and the story were superb.

I'd like a license for my pet fish...

I'm a MP fan from waaaay back!

[Hondamaker]

I'm a MP fan from waaaay back!As am I. Remember what Dinsdale Piranha used to do to people who crossed him?

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

He nailed my head to the floor! He didn't want to, but he assured me that I had transgressed the unwritten law.

He also nailed my wife's head to a coffee table.

I also really enjoyed Adventureland. Watched it again yesterday.

He was a cruel man, but fair.

[Hondamaker]

I also really enjoyed Adventureland. Watched it again yesterday.I liked it too. Not hilarious, but a really good movie.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

He was a cruel man, but fair.

Doug and Dinsdale Piranha then formed a gang, which they called The Gang...

[Youngbinks]

I liked it too. Not hilarious, but a really good movie.

I agree. A lot of my friends went into it thinking it was going to be an all-out comedy and as a result were disappointed. It's why I hate expecting something from a movie prior to watching it.

[The Apple]

I liked The Hangover.

[acosmichippo]

Are you people high?

****ing Watchmen.

[Youngbinks]

It was too long. Could have benefited from being trimmed about 30 minutes.

[acosmichippo]

Yeah, you must be high.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Ah - the short attention span of youth...:dft012:wink

Ah - the ability of fogies to sleep halfway through a three hour movie.....:dft011:wicked_smile

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Only in the case of "Out of Africa."

[Andrew_]

The Hangover was definitely my favorite. If not my favorite movie of all time.

[Hondamaker]

The Hangover was definitely my favorite. If not my favorite movie of all time.The Hangover was really good, but I can't see it being anyone's favorite. :dft012:wink

Don't forget Gran Torino!

[cliffeman]

Watchmen
Star Trek
Up
The Hangover
The Hurt Locker
Moon
Ponyo

Inglorious Basterds

Inglorious BasterdsDude, how was The Hurt Locker? I've been wanting to see it.

[cliffeman]

I'm not a big fan of Iraqi war movies in general. But this one was good. Definitely worth seeing if you get the chance. I had to see it twice, it was that good. It's one i'm definitely picking up on blu ray. Was too bad the Italian blu ray is region locked :(

[Andrew_]

The Hangover was really good, but I can't see it being anyone's favorite. :dft012:wink

Don't forget Gran Torino!

Gran Torino was also one of my favorites.

[Napoleon_PhoneApart]

Gran Torino was excellent.

[Europa]

I never saw that one because I felt as though I had seen everything after seeing the trailer. I often regret seeing trailers because they give away too much.

[acosmichippo]

I saw Inglorious Basterds tonight. It was good, but i enjoyed Watchmen much more.

[crust666]

District 9:)

[Europa]

Just saw Moon tonight, great movie! It was the best movie of that genre that I have seen in a long time. Nothing has ever came as close to 2001 and 2010 as this has IMO. Most of them are just way too unbelievable and get the science wrong, like Sunshine. I give this one 9/10.

Moon still isn't playing anywhere near me. Bummer. What is Sunshine?
BTW, I finally saw Snatch. It was great!

[Europa]

Yeah, it's not a big release. One of the older theaters here was showing it, so I caught it last night before it's gone. It was only $5 and they even had well dressed theater attendants and a self playing (and singing) piano to add to the ambiance, lol. That theater is also the only one around here that's showing The Hurt Locker, which is next on my list. I really wanted to see Gamer, but that's not going anywhere soon, so it's on the back burner for now.

Sunshine is a 2007 movie set 50 years in the future about a team of astronauts trying to save the world by traveling to the sun to reignite it. If you know anything about the Sun, I don't recommend it ;)

Snatch, now there's a movie. "Oh, nothing, Tommy. It's tiptop. It's just I'm not sure about the color".

OMG, I just noticed my spammer quote translation from English to Chinese and then back to English made it's way into your sig. ;)

[juls1585]

the hangover was pretty funny. i also liked how final destination 3d turned out. i plan on seeing gamer soon. i <3 dexter.

i dont get to see many new movies. if i do they are on demand or in the $5 bin at wal-mart or blockbuster.

[Andrew_]

I saw Inglorious Basterds tonight. It was good, but i enjoyed Watchmen much more.

Inglorious Basterds was pretty good, although the story was a tad slow at some points.

[Hondamaker]

LOL. Yeah, I thought it was pretty funny!
