The 3 Best Movies of 2009

Posted in Movies

Here are the 3 best movies of 2009 that got our adrenaline pumping and the dynamite exploding. We love good movies and have seen hundreds in our time.

  • The Blind Side. It’s easy to see why America has fallen head over heels for this true-life story of Leigh Anne Toughy (Sandra Bullock), a well-to-do white Memphis woman, and Michael Oher, the black teen (Quintin Aaron) she adopts off the streets and nurtures into a star athlete. It’s irresistible, charming, reliably inspirational and The Blind Side full movie comes with a fairy-tale ending we know actually happened. Of course, it’s also got football — and is truly the greatest tale of a left tackle ever produced.
  • The Hangover. Not since ‘Borat’ have we laughed as hard (and constantly) as during ‘The Hangover,’ the rare laugher in which nearly every scene is hysterical. Sure, it made Bradley Cooper leading man material, but the real stars are breakout Zach Galifianakis — who steals every single scene he speaks in — and Ken Jeong’s (making stereotypes hilarious as Mr. Chow). Add in Ed Helms’ missing tooth and a Phil Collins-loving Mike Tyson, and that’s the formula for laughing till you cry. The Hangover the biggest comedy of all time for a reason.
  • The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Wes Anderson has never been wittier, funnier or more emotionally accessible than he is here … with a stop-motion animation movie about chicken-pilfering foxes and their animal brethren (featuring the inimitable voices of George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Jason Schwartzman). Go figure. Fantastic mr Fox full movie like ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ meets ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas.’ Which, of course, is a very, very good thing.
