I second that, as a directors achievement the movie is miles ahead of the Matrix 2,3. As a matter of fact its the very first project of the brothers, they just finished it after they got famous

Dark Knight is the personal favorite because I grow up on batman and this is the best batmovie ever.

Recently watched The Wrestler and the 2 part movie on Mesrine, all good stuff. Also Sex Drive, quite lowbrow but it's amazing to watch how someone can still make a good movie out of a beaten to death genre.

But I'm here to dis a few movies.

1. the departed. it is a horrible remake of an awesome film, the actors just didn't deliver. Check out the original, Infernal Affairs from HK, with subs of course, for a better experience. Also check out part 2 of it (not a sequel, it's made with the trilogy in mind), though I don't blame you if you skip the 3rd.

2. Slumdog Millionaire. ok this is actually a pretty good film, it worked on many levels, just not enough to be a great movie, but the fact that this got Best Picture just killed it for me. I have no idea why people are raving after this film.

3. walle. another good film, just very overrated - #41 on imdb? yous gotsta be shitting me

Ik work at a cinema, these are really good:

Der Baader-Meinhof komplex
About a terrist/idealist group in Germany fighting against the government

Watchmen
Hero's, who used to live among the people, start to fight back. This movie has a bad ending but it is a great movie to watch if you like the hero/magic powers genre

Ip man
About a friendly kungfu master who can smack anyones ass like savior used to.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (now in cinema)
This film is a prequel about Wolverine and how he got his iron skeleton and lost his memory. I saw it yesterday and its really good. But if you want to see this one right now, you need to watch it in the cinema.

But thats just my own taste. As i read the recommendations others gave you i realised that everyone has there own taste. I for one thought that Into the wild was a nice story, but fitted better in a book then a movie. I like my movies fastpaced and into the wild is not, not at all.

I've left out comedy movies because any comedy will do in my opinion. Wall-E, Kungfu Panda or other comedies are always fun, but it's a whole other genre.

The movies i recommend are harsh, fast paced and are mostly with violence in them. Love it

Yea I know.

People will always go the original is always better no matter what. If you judge it objectively without the "original is better" bias, then it is obvious The Departed is better.

In Bruges. Brilliant movie.

And i don't get it how some many people vote Slumdog Millionaire when the things that were well-done (image, setting, the whole growing-up thing) were done better in Cidade de Deus and the things that were different (like the story) weren't really that good...

That's not true. For example the BSG remake is much, much better than the original and I doubt many people would say otherwise.

The Departed is only better for the "I watch and appreciate only/mostly Hollywood films" bunch of people -.- I don't blame you.
That being said I enjoyed The Departed too, just not as much (but I knew the original before I watched The Departed, which is probably not the case for many people).

Superbad was awesome, Wall-E and Ratatouille are both pretty amazing. Once was really good too. Oh and spirited away.

Don't know too many good foreign films from 07/08.

wolverine was pretty good + Show Spoiler +
although they made wolverine look really clumsy at times
it was definitely much better than the other xmen movies imo.
hostel is an absolute must.
and let's put in independence day there for good measure (yes it's old school but still worth the watch after a while)

Brokeback mountain

IMO the movie that Heath Ledger should be remembered by instead of The Dark Knight. He was so much better as a gay cowboy.

Also, Big FIsh is undoubtably one of my absolute favorites.

Best: The Dark Knight. (The sales number speaks for itself?)
comedy: Get smart : D (never seen a better spy comedy movie)
animated: wall-e
instant classic: the prestige (drama, tragedy, passion, desperation all into one)
worst....: Jonas Brother's in 3D (ewwwwwkkkksss)

If you don't trust me on any of these... at least trust me on the last one.

Man, you forgot the best film in 2009:
