The 28 Best Movies I Saw In Theaters In 2009

I did a final list of the best movies (that I saw) in 2009. The Oscars are coming up, and my predictions will be forthcoming, but for now, this is the final list of where I saw each film. Of course, my opinion certainly doesn't count, which is why you'll see (500) Days Of Summer as a top 5 film of the year, despite being snubbed entirely at Oscar time.

1. The Hurt Locker

3. Up In The Air

4. (500) Days Of Summer
5. Inglorious Basterds
