Best Movies of 2009
A geeky habit of mine, every year i compile a list of the best movies of the year, then go down town buy them all and watch them so that by the time the oscars are showing i would have watched all the nominated movies and even rooting for some people in their categories, this year I've decided to share this list with you, Enjoy :)

are we going to watch all those movies!
Nice list,
I like how if the film is Foreign the Director and Stars are redundant .... And yes the STAR of AVATAR is Sigourney Weaver -.- never mind the genius tech directors ...... pick the old lady with the face lift and 10 days work schedule .... here is some names for you: AVATAR S: Phill Barrenger, David Basalla ,James Jacobs and Jason Schleifer
I almost forgot :: mmmmmmmm Malin Akerman
@ Dash: Yes we are
@ Wajdy: they are redundant since we can't even pronounce their names! also, i would love to name the cinematographers, camera crew, Tech directors, stunt doubles, music composers, editors and producers but due to interest level and space i refrained :) Sigourney weaver is probably the only recognizable star of the show other than james cameron, for the public that's what it all counts on. loved the names you mentioned, friends of your's ?
oh I wish :( ..... This will be geeky so stop reading now if you're not interested : Phill Barrenger created the face motion capture system , that's why the characters feel alive since he could capture ALL 43 face muscles individually , technology was limited to 22 before this film.... David Basalla created the real-3d cam where they move the camera in real life and it updates to the scene ... so u have normal CAMERA MEN shooting 3D scenes ..... MIND blowing ... James Jacobs is the God of shaders .... patented 4 new skin shader interactions that will be named after him like "Blinn" after James F. Blinn ...
for me:
UN PROPHETE
(500) DAYS OF SUMMER
FIVE MINUTES OF HEAVEN
LONDON RIVER
HIPSTERS
ABOUT ELLEY
NINE LIVES
BRICK LANE
the time that remains
@ Wajdy: I heard about the patents and the 3D camera thing, but i was so bedazzled by the result i couldn't even see the other things ... i'm going to see it again that's for sure.
@Anon: thanks for the recommendations, i got some of the movies that you recommended there are others that date back to 2007 and 2008 that i watched before. but other all loved ur selection, thanks :)
