2009 in Films

So as award season gets underway with the Golden Globes later tonight and the Oscars in a month and a half, I felt it necessary to throw my two cents your way. These are my favorites, not the ones I think will win, though if it were up to me they would. I didn't see all the movies out last year so if you feel something else should be on here let me know and maybe I'll make my way to add it to my Netflix queue.
