Top 10 Movies of 2009

In my opinion, at least. As I mentioned in my last post, 2009 nears its end so the Favorite and Best of lists should start appearing at any moment. So I'm going to join in (as I always tend to do) beginning with the list of my 10 favorite films of 2009. Disclaimer: I'm only naming films that were both released in 2009 and for which I bought a ticket so more than likely I will omit quite a few since I don't have the funds to see every single film. (Though a boy can dream....)

10. Coraline
9. Paranormal Activity
8. Zombieland
7. Where the Wild Things Are
6. (500) Days of Summer
5. The Princess and the Frog
4. District 9
3. Los Abrazos Rotos (Broken Embraces)
2. Up

And my pick for the top spot....

1. Away We Go

Perfect cast. Perfect script. Perfect direction. An all around great and charming film (with a great soundtrack album, too).
