I thought it was great and so did my wife. I wasn't aware there was that much of a negative opinion about it out there.

The story, animation, the voice acting, the general mood of it. Everything basically.

What were good about those? I'm not trying to argue with you or anything, I'm just curious.

I didnt like it.

I voted Where The Wild Things Are.
It may be biased as I havent seen all the movies on the list, but I have seen the better half of them. I watched this flick in a few different states of mind, and it affected me different every time.

She looks unnervingly like Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost (but sexier).

I haven't seen many films from that list but I'll go out on a limb here and say that Inglorious Basterds was the best of 09... it was so well done. Zombieland was fun too.

Who? I want names and addresses. Coraline is the second best movie I've seen this year, after Up.

Yeah, better than Avatar and Basterds.

I dunno, maybe I just sh*t myself with excitement when I finally get to see something that isn't completely CGI, especially in the animation department. You can tell they put a lot of effort into this movie and for adolescent hackysack playing douchebags in wool caps to discredit all that because for the love of god they didn't make a totally literal adaptation of a popular book is insulting and a sign of total bewilderment over the purpose of filmmaking.

I'm 23 years old, I've seen just about any horror movie you can name and this was probably the scariest movie I've seen in a long time. I'd like to meet any f*cking 4 year olds who wouldn't get scared sh*tless by this movie. It's the most twisted kids movie since Return to Oz.

I think Fantastic Mr Fox is the best movie of '09.

I still need to see all the other animated movies, I'm personally more excited for Ponyo than Mr Fox but I'm sure they both rule.

I might see Princess in the Frog too, while it doesn't look that great, I still can't possibly stress it enough just how awesome it is to see Disney go back to traditional hand drawn animation.

Quite a few movies I liked last year - Moon, Up In the Air, District 9 and Inglourious Basterds were all great watches. The Road probably edges it for me though. I like a good post-apocalyptic story, especially when it's as gritty (literally), utterly depressing (although the ending's kinda nice) and at times harrowing as the Road was. Good soundtrack too. There are quite a few films from that list I haven't seen yet though.
