Peter G's top ten of 2009

well Peter S's top ten is clearly wrong, so here is my (definitive) list....

1. (500) days of summer – awesome film detailing the love and heartbreak of an ordinary relationship but showing it from the guy’s perspective for once. Women are evil.

2. sin nombre – amazing film detailing the hazardous journey of a train line through Mexico carrying illegal immigrants and the brutality of gangs in the region, like city of god but better.

3. up – beautiful animated film. Will have you choked up within 10 minutes.

4. Moon – stand out performance of 2009 from Sam Rockwell. Great idea, great performance, brilliantly executed

5. Zombieland – just pure fun. And great to see Woody Harrelson back to form. Also has the cameo performance of the decade.

6. the hangover – a bunch of legends get wrecked and can’t remember anything and spend the film trying to find out what happened. What more do you want?

7. district 9 – sci – fi with brains. Classic idea. Incredibly violent

8. inglorious basterds – Quentin back to his supreme best. Great dialogue, some classic scenes, proves Tarantino is till at the top of his game.

9. Avatar – truly special film. The concept and vision of James Cameron is truly immeasurable.

10. Hurt locker – summing up the fucked situation in Iraq brilliantly.
