My favorite movie of 2009 is Sherlock Holmes, which is one of my favorite movies now. Another of my favs of all time is up. I saw that one 3 times in the theater, which I hadn't done since finding nemo!

Comment: "Ponyo" looks interesting, but I haven't seen a Studio Ghibli film since "Spirited Away" because quite frankly, it scared the crap out of me. Thank you for making "The Princess and the Frog" your #1 pick, I saw it twice in theaters and bought the DVD as soon as it came out.

Comment: My thoughts on each: The Princess and the Frog - again a decent pick, but as with Up it didn't quite reach me on a personal level and the songs should've been more Motown-esque I think. Avatar - I had almost astronomical expectations for this, and they were met. Cameron has made the finest SF film since The Matrix with this masterpiece. Inglourious Basterds - a great big, super-fun, playful, superbly directed, scripted and acted war epic as only QT could pull off. Up - very good, but I really think it's lesser Pixar myself. I really didn't emotionally connect with it as much as I wanted to. Star Trek - very good, but it didn't quite make me a convert (I'm totally in the Star Wars camp myself). Where the Wild Things Are - probably the best family film since The Lion King. I was profoundly affected by this film, so much so that Avatar only BARELY beats it to first place for me. This is much too low, man. Funny People - good, but overlong and though it certainly is a little more mature, I don't quite think it quite achieves the balance of hilarious comedy and sweetness that Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin had. I'm seeing Up in the Air on Thursday, I want to see Ponyo and I have no desire whatsoever to see Whip It.

Comment: Agree in full with your list. Are you going to do one with the films you think it should be nominated to the different Oscar's categories and why?
