2009 Best Movies

In honor of the upcoming Oscars, I am posting MY list of the best movies of 2009.  Since I haven't seen every movie nominated cause I'm somewhat particular about what I put myself through in the name of entertainment, my list is somewhat different than the normal list.  So let's just say this is a list for the middle aged Susie Sunshines out there.

Drumroll please....

Here's my list:

  1. Julie & Julia
  2. UP
  3. The Blind Side
  4. It's Complicated
  5. Away We Go
  6. 500 Days of Summer
  7. Avatar
  8. Invictus
  9. Star Trek
Can't come up with a 10th...I guess I'm going to have to go see more movies in 2010 so I can make a full top ten list.

By the way, my worst movie of the year was Extract.  Really, really bad yet had so much potential.

I'll be glued to the TV Sunday night rooting for Meryl.  


  1. What does this say about me? I couldn't even finish watching 500 Days of Summer because it bored me so, but I watched all of Extract and enjoyed it enough to recommend it to a friend.

    I have no taste, right? Well, I have taste, but it's not good taste.


  2. Dear Donna...No one said I have any taste either. It's all just preferences.

    As for Extract, I just have higher expectations for Jason Bateman. He's one of our favorites ever since his days on Arrested Development. You have to admit that all the Factory People were the best part of the movie and they did use them as much as they should have.
