“Have you ever wondered what the best year
for movies was?”
Joining Fandango Groover‘s blogathon, a great topic for its category. It’s not really hard to pick a year, since I thought many movie in this year was brilliant and still is. And it is the year where the movies made me want to do movie blogging. The year is 2009. I managed to find 15 movies, but I compiled 10 I love the most. They are :
Up
Mary & Max
Cast Away On The Moon
(500) Days of Summer
Up In The Air
An Education
Coraline
Yes Man
3 Idiots
Best Of Times
other great movies below top 10 :
Actresses, A Single Man, Julie & Julia, Away We Go,
Bangkok Traffic Love Story
******************************
Readers, what’s your movie year?
A good list. Six of those are in my collection.

Thanks, Steve!

Great list! I’ve seen most of them, and from the ones I’ve seen, I’ve enjoyed all of them. I like that you inculded Mary & Max , 3 Idiots, and Julie & Julia too. Now interested in checking out Cast Away On The Moon. Don’t know much about that one.
If I were to pick my Top 5 from 2009 it would be Up, Inglourious Basterds, (500) Days Of Summer, District 9, and Up In The Air.

I haven’t watch District 9, but Inglorious Basterds I thought was too violent. Cast Away On The Moon is a South Korea movie, funny but at the same time emotional. I highly recommend that movie!
they’re awesome! Thanks, Asrap
How could I not include those movies

Nice list and great movies, some of them I still have to check out though, so this is a good reminder!

Look forward to hear your thoughts about it, Nostra

I thought you would pick 2009, I know you loved that year of cinema ( : Hmm, I’ll have to think, maybe I’ll pick 1980, 1982, or 1999. Will do this meme at the weekend hopefully ( :
Is a great idea for a blogathon, though got me thinking that if someone had seen 100+ acclaimed films from each and every year, then they would all be good years? ( :

Yeah, you know me
I thought the same thing. But I guess it’s back to the person, how movies are subjective. I loved 2009 movies because they tend to have great message (I should’ve put this on the post, oh well).

A great year for animation! Loved Coraline. Absolutely blew me away! Also (500) Days of Summer is one of my favourite rom-coms of all time. Still really need to see An Education though. Great list and interesting choice of year.

Yes, I love 2009′s animated movies. Nice to know you loved 500 days of Summer, that’s one of my favorite all time too. Thank you, Pete!
Andina recently posted..My Movie Year : 2009
Some amazing films on this post, Andina! I adore (500) Days of Summer and Up in the Air; I can’t watch Up though because it’s just far too emotive. It just makes me cry my eyes out every time!
Amy recently posted..Battleship Review
I agree, it’s weird if you watch Up and not cry! I too have a hard time not to. Yes, everybody love 500 days
Thank you, Amy

Great choice, from the list I loved “Up in the Air’ the most, such a smart and insightful movie and I’m completely in love with Vera Farmiga in it.
sati recently posted..This Must Be the Place
Obviously it’s a great film. After I watched it, I also adore Vera Farmiga. Thank you, Sati!
Andina recently posted..My Movie Year : 2009
I chose the same year! Loved 3 Idiots, Yes Man and Up, and really liked An Education. The other ones look good, I think I’ll add some to my watchlist.

Interesting list. It’s great that you included Coraline – wonderful film. You really love 500 Days of Sumer
I’ve spent the last few days wracking my brains trying to remember what I watched in 2009 – I watched a lot but few films stood out – Me and Orson Welles, An Education, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and Moon were my highlights. Other films I watched Avatar but I doubt I’ll watch it again. Up in the Air came out in 2010 in the UK so that didn’t count.
I actually watched Up In The Air also in the 2010 (I just follow the US release). Yes, love 500 days. Coraline was a wonderful but quirky animated movie.
Andina recently posted..My Movie Influence : Almost Famous (2000)
Wow!! it amazed me how I haven’t seen any of those movies…I wonder where I had been
I didn’t join this blogathon as I couldn’t remember when movies were released.

Hmmm, you could just follow the US release like me, just easier for me. Thanks for your comment, Novroz!

So cool to see another perspective on 2009! I am glad to see An Education included — that one seems to be very underrated.
