I thought 2009 was a great year for under the radar films. The Oscar race that year was pretty sh*t.
The Cove
Where the Wild Things Are
Revanche
Sin Nombre
An Education
A Single Man
Anvil! The Story of Anvil
A Serious Man (Middle of the pack for me Coen Bros wise)
The Hurt Locker
Bronson
Summer Hours
The Messenger
Moon
Antichrist
The Road
Food Inc
District 9
World's Greatest Dad
Un Prophete
Coraline
Inglorious Basterds
Up
In the Loop
Fantastic Mr. Fox
Ponyo
Mary and Max
Zombieland
Hunger
Red Cliff
The White Ribbon
The House of the Devil
Big Fan
Pontypool
Black Dynamite
Humpday
Collapse
A Town Called Panic
Plenty of fantastic films. Out of the Oscar nominees, The Hurt Locker was the best overall film but I enjoyed Basterds more. There were just too many scenery chewing scenes with Waltz and Fassbender for me not to love. My pick for true best film of that year would have been Bronson or Hunger.
