Best Movie You Have Seen This Year?

[Anonymous]

District 9 for me, also Mongol (not out this year i know but i bought it on blu ray and loved it!)

I loved district 9 what a fresh approch to the sc-fi genre.the hangover was good to.transformers 2 on blu-ray was great pic and sound,as was star trek.

I found "The Damn United" & "Adventureland" to be very involving. The two leading actors were fantastic in United.

I also found "Drag me to Hell" and "Inglorious Basters" to be very entertaining. Cristopher Waltz stole the show in Inglorious and last but not least the music in Drag me was captivating.

The French thriller " Anything for her" was also good.

I would go for watchmen on BD, surreal film with a fantastic soundtrack. I can't belive 300, which I thought was poor, had the same director.

I think Watchmen was quite possibly one of the worst films I have seen this year, and certainly one of the most over-hyped. But then again I'd be hard-pressed to name anything really outstanding...

Monsters vs Aliens

I'm a sucker for fast fun animation almost regardless of storyline.

I found Dark Knight dark and throughly enjoyable while Frost vs Nixon has some great performances, neat touches and is mostly captivating. Star Trek allayed my fears and is pretty damn good while the brain-out blockbusters, Term4 and Trans2 looked stunning even if one was a little empty and the other's morals were dragged into question.

TBH while it's not been a stand-out year these and titles like Valkyrie, District 9 and Harry Potter have looked and sounded superb!

dualist32:"Inglorious Basters"

Ah yes, the one about cooking the festive fowl...

Nice one. Just spluttered my drink all over the keyboard.

In fact brilliant.

Distrcit 9 was superb.

Crank 2: High Voltage is my favourite even if it is a bit ridiculous. It's quite experimental and the camera angles used are brilliant (like the first Crank). I heard they were using cameras that are only around £2,500 but using 12 of them simultaneously!

Timecrimes. A small-scale Spanish sf movie, that handles the conundrums of time travel better than any other treatment I've seen.

Martys. In terms of the trend towards 'torture-porn' horror, a flat-out important movie and a real slap in the face for those makers of salacious violence movies.

I'd also like to mention Frozen River, a low-budget Canadian film that offers up one of the most thought-provoking dramas I've watched.

I quite like Narnia Prince Caspain and National Treasures 1 and 2.

 

[Anonymous]

Fantastic Mr Fox, Zombieland, Bronson, The Road, Moon, District 9, It Might Get Loud...all passed an hour or so entertainingly enough, though i wouldn't regard any of them as "classics", i didn't really enjoy the Star Trek revision in the cinema, maybe i'll enjoy it more on Bluray ( thank the lord for lovefilm's 90 day free trials ! )

You're getting deeper and deeper into that abyss of dubious taste, Herr Gel...

i'm gonna throw my penneth worth in. best films i got to see this year were 'dark knight', and 'gone baby gone'.

 

[manicm]

Gran Torino - Clint at his best

Dark Knight

District 9

Frost & Nixon (both actors were astonishing) - a classic nearly up there with The Lives Of Others

Watchmen - screenplay is dodgy but intriguing and visually made for BR

NOT my movie of the year:

Star Trek - dunno, forgot it as soon as I left the cinema - too modernistic for my taste and lacking in real Trekkie stardust.

Now that definetely is a step to far laserman16.

Granted my taste in movies does seem a little differenet than others.

Army of Crime and Katyn were great, thought provoking films.

Agree on Grand Torino - Clint was very good.

Just watched The Duchess - two hours of my life I'll never get back.

Was"There Will Be Blood" out this year? If so probably that.

I expected massive things from "Gran Torino" which I didnt feel I got. Eastwood making a "grrr" noise got tiresome after the 50th time he did it.

Also expected massive things from "Slumdog Millionaire", literally saw it a couple of weeks ago and it left me wondering what all the fuss was about.
