Best movie of 2008-2009

[Woosta]

Because I'm too lazy to do movie research. I still have yet to see Inglourious Basterds but I think it's about godamn time.

Taken was probably the best I've seen recently.

Precious

Star Trek.

Taken was probably the best I've seen recently.

Wow. Really? Wow.

edit: And to answer your question, District 9.

 

[gorcorps]

Star Trek.

Probably my favorite that I can remember. It was so much better than I expected.

 

[MoPHo]

Inglorious Bastards for best overall IMO. Star Trek, Zombieland, The Wrestler (Don't remember release date), Up all get nods.

Thats easy I won't name it though because I know anandtech users will vote it down out of retaliation.

You can't just post that and not say it.

 

[Malak]

Inglorious Bastards

Really? I'm surprised so many people are mentioning this. The trailer looks corny as hell.

 

[clamum]

Star Trek or District 9.

Up

Up

I just watched that movie last night. Kind of a sad movie, but proves Pixar knows how to tell a story. I still wouldn't say it's the best of the year though, maybe top 5.

Inglourious Basterds and Up were my favorites this year, with Star Trek and District 9 very close behind. As for 2008, The Dark Knight tops my list, followed closely by Wall-E and In Bruges.

Dark Knight
Star Trek

It was a Tarantino flick so it's corny but in his unique way. Knows when to pull you along and when to throw in a good chuckle.

 

[Kreon]

Wall-E was my favorite of the past 2 years. I also like Star Trek, Dark Knight, Taken, and Valkyrie.

Well I'm not a Quentin fan, so I have little reason to trust the movie to be good. I don't really like any of this other movies and think he's a terrible director. Even worse actor.

2009:
Hurt Locker
Inglourious Basterds
Up
Star Trek

Black Dynamite for 2009

 

[Lifted]

The Limits of Control was a good flick and best "movie" I've seen lately.

As for the regular popcorn munching Hollywood stuff, I think I enjoyed watching Star Trek the most.

That's what he does. It's probably some foreign movie he thinks only he has seen and only he can possibly understand.
Ever wonder what it would be like if Arcadio had a brother? Now you know.
It's called psuedo-intellectualism.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Hurt Locker and Star Trek would be at the top of my list.

 

[Malak]

Law Abiding Citizen was also a fantastic film. Up until the end, which I thought was a trainwreck.

 

[zerocool84]

Milk
The Wrestler
Iron Man
The Dark Knight
District 9
Star Trek
Inglorious Bastards
WALL-E

This is pretty much the best of the best over the past two years.
