Inglorious BastardsStrong year. Inglorious Basterds got better & better for me over tim. Hangover is a triumph. Love Mr. Fox. Star Trek was very good as reboots go. And I love Blind Side, treaclely as it may be. Avatar fucking sucks tho.
Not listed, Moon. Tremendous movie. Watch it.

The Hangover
Bastards is probably QT's best work outside of Pulp in my estimation. For whatever reason, the absurdity of the plot and gratuitous violence just works better in this film than most. Brad Pitt nailed it and Waltz does a villainous Nazi better than anyone in the history of cinema.GrundleStiltzkin said:Strong year. Inglorious Basterds got better & better for me over tim.

Inglorious BastardsCarving a swastika in the forehead of a Nazi shitbird is going to score some points with an audience like me.

F.O. Row Peter Puffer, you left off...My favorite three movies from this year were Moon, Ink, and The Road.
Scary movies do nothing for me, but, man, I had a hard time sleeping after watching The Road. It's so stark and fucked up. It succeeded in invoking a response from me, so points for that.
It's a shame Moon didn't have ten times the budget. Really cool movie, really great acting, and if they could have afforded to simulate low-g in the station, it would have been perfect.
Ink is an interesting movie. Everything about it gives you the impression of a film school project: The acting is downright terrible at times, the dialog writing is sometimes a little wooden, the directing isn't great, and the whole look of the movie is a little... fake. Yet I couldn't help but really, really like it. It's an original concept, really entertaining story, and I've wanted to watch it again ever since watching it that first time.
For mainstream movies, sure, Hangover. It was awesome. I've seen surprisingly few of the rest of the movies in the above collage. -
Inglorious Bastards
The Road is my wheelhouse, dystopian sci-fi. However, I have a real hard tim with kid-in-peril stuff so I've deliberately never seen. Maybe one day.1to392831weretaken said:My favorite three movies from this year were Moon, Ink, and The Road.

Funny, I never once noticed the lack of low G effects in Moon. I love that movie. -
The Hangover
I read the book. I don't do well with kids in peril stuff either. 2020 was enough of heartbroken yoots for me.GrundleStiltzkin said:

The HangoverNormally I'd go Harry Potter on your soc peter puffing lanky ass but Half Blood Prince may be my least favorite of the genre, and left more questions than answers.
Other movies not listed:
Sherlock Holmes
Up (I'm not crying you're crying)
Taken
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Zombieland
Avatar might have been the most overhyped movie I've ever seen. -
The HangoverAvatar was/is a gigantic overrated POS
