-09 was a great year filmwise, maybe the best of the 00s. There were a lot of solid ***-***½ films, actually so many that my list seems very monotonous. It appears, I somehow managed to avoid most of the crappy stuff since I've rated only three films under **.
Well over half of the top 10 films are from Hollywood. That's probably just because I don't watch European, Asian or independent stuff that much. However, there are a few refreshing surprises like the ingenious Korean crime film Madeo.
For me, Basterds was hands down the best film of the year. I've seen it close to 10 times now. I also gave five stars to Marc Webb's fantastic debut, 500 Days of Summer.
