TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2009

I've been posting Top 10 Movies lists since 2010 but since I didn't start my blog until 2010 I haven't had the opportunity to post my lists for the years prior to 2010.  I thought that it might be fun to do so, so here goes, starting with 2009:

TPSG Top 10 Movies of 2009:
  1. The Hangover - Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zack Galifianakis
  2. The Hurt Locker - Jeremy Renner
  3. Inglorious Basterds - Christoph Waltz, Brad Pitt 
  4. Avatar - Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana
  5. District 9 - Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope
  6. Sin Nombre - Edgar Flores, Paulina Gaitán
  7. Up in the Air - George Clooney, Anna Kendrick
  8. Star Trek - Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto 
  9. Crazy Heart - Jeff Bridges, Maggie Gyllenhaal
  10. The Blind Side - Sandra Bullock
2009 was a great year for the movies.  "The Hangover" is one of the funniest movies ever, it had to be on top of my list.  "The Hurt Locker" was edge of your seat tense.  Quentin Tarantino hit another home run with "Inglorious Basterds".  Christoph Waltz's Oscar in that film was well deserved.  James Cameron's filmmaking in "Avatar" was groundbreaking.  "District 9" was another bit of revolutionary filmmaking for it's use of Red One digital cameras.  "Sin Nombre" was a terrifying look at the Central American street gang culture.  "Up in the Air" is a film that perfectly tells the story of the economic impact of the greatest recession of our times.  "Star Trek" was a great re-telling of the Star Trek franchise by J.J. Abrams, it was fast paced and action packed from start to finish.  Jeff Bridges was fantastic in "Crazy Heart" and who doesn't love a great football movie (i.e. "The Blind Side").
