Empire Magazines Top 10 films of 2009

[Acker79]

I respect your views Acker. Did you see Watchmen as I thought it was stunning ?.

I did, and I have it on blu ray. I did enjoy it, but I tend to enjoy most superhero films.

 

[Acker79]

Hurt Locker is the only one on that list I've not seen, yet.

Oh my god how could I forget

Gran Torino 8.4

 

[Garage_Doors]

Ive not seen any of those, so maybe a good list to work through to see.

 

[Vatican Citys No.2 Keeper]

Out of those seen slumdog, which I thought was good, and I loved Inglorious Basterds, cannot wait till it comes out on dvd so as can see it again!!

 

[charlieoatway]

I would definitely say that 'Let The Right One In' as top of the list is just. Great to see a foreign language film at number 1.

Feel they have missed some interesting debut films, such as Moon

Would also put in mentions for Michael Hanekes' The White Ribbon and Jane Campions' Bright Star which are on now.

I have not seen Slumdog, and don't really want to, will wait till it is on telly, (good odds for it being on Boxing Day)

I would highly recommend The Hurt Locker and Let The Right One In.

 

[Superphil]

Slumdog Millionaire was last year - that's how it qualified for the Oscars.

Where is Moon?

Haven't seen any of them, but I am looking forward to a Blu-ray of Moon for Xmus

 

[dannyboy]

moon is def good 8.3 from me

transformers 2 - wank

You're in to films but haven't seen most of these? Let The Right One In is beautiful and incredible.
Agree about Gran Torino...great film.

 

[brighton_girl87]

Am I the only one who did not find the hangover even a little bit funny?

 

[Don Quixote]

In the loop was genius that is number one for me.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Awaydays not in the top 10 ?

 

[looney]

Terminator 4?

 

[Skaville]

The Hangover was bloody marvelous.

 

[Questions]

Slumdog Millionaire is the most over hyped and over rated Oscar winning film ever imo as posted on the film thread, that was until There will be Blood came along.

but you rate it no 2 in your list
fof christ`s sake sort it out US..............

 

[Spider]

1. Let The Right One In - 9

2. Slumdog Millionaire - 9

3.Up - 9

4. The Hurt Locker - 8

5. Star Trek - 8

6. The Wrestler - 10

7. Inglorious Basterds - 9

8. In The Loop - 8

9. District 9 - 8

10. Coraline - 7

I think it's a pretty decent list. Glaring omissions for me (and judging Empire's coverage) are Moon and A Serious Man.

These lists are always ridiculous though as they are published before the end of the year. It's true that most of the year's films have been press screened now but I hate the fact they can announce the film of the year before seeing all the films, this year the stand out being Avatar.
