This year was a huge snore in movie-land. Their were a few goodies to float you into 2009 but they were so few and far between. I've compiled a list of my top favorites in descending order (and this is obviously American mainstream film, as I'm not fucking "awesome" enough to visit Sundance, or Cannes, or SXSW for that matter. By awesome clearly you know I mean rich and important):
1. Wall-E
2. The Dark Knight
3. Hellboy II
4. Iron Man
5. Man on Wire
Wall-E seriously had me giggling like an obese toddler. I think it may have even creeped up into my all-time favorite top 20 list?
I hung out with a new friend of mine last night that ended up turning into a really awkward date and we discussed this list. He told me he didn't like animated movies and most comic-book based movies so he completely disagreed with my list. After he told me that I started chugging beers left and right until I could barely see his face anymore. I also think I said something along the lines of, "Wall-E was cuter than you could ever be." Which is hilarious because he actually is adorable. It turns out I have trouble talking to the pretty ones.
Oh well. Here's to hoping 2009 introduces more happy movies into our lives, as I'm sure I will be spending the majority of my free time in theaters getting wasted.
Cheers.
