Looks to me that going by the list of films you thought were the best of 2009 that you really wouldn't like any of the fims you listed as wanting to see.
I'm sorry but anyone who lists GI Joe as a great film just wouldn't appreciate the Hurt Locker beyond the explosions...Which as far from what that film is about as you can possibly get.

Now why would you say that? For what it was a comic book movie I really enjoyed GI JOE and thought it was highly entertaining. and just because i like that and you don't doesn't mean i wont like hurt locker. Having seen the trailers for Hurt Locker it looks like a good movie. Along the same lines as Black Hawk Down. which i liked too.
Everyone has different tastes, alot of people liked the hangover, me not so much. and i enjoyed balls of fury and others didn't

I would say that because, given your list of your favourite movies from 2009, you seem to prefer action packed no-brainer movies.
You chose.

And any number of other films that were a hell of a lot better than GI Joe, Wolverine and Terminator Salvation. (Up and Avatar were tremendous though)

Do I always do that? Hm. I was just calling it like I see it. You know, I realize that taste in film is subjective, but seriously, having G.I. Joe, Terminator Salvation and Wolverine on a list is just asking for criticism.

That is your opinion, for me i really enjoyed those films and was highly entertained. I forgot to put Grand Torino on my list i loved that move too. so I can still enjoy other dramas like the Green mile or Shawshank redemption or Grand Torino. But i tend to have different tastes than most, everyone loved the hangover and i didn't. and everyone hated balls of fury and i really enjoyed it. Cable Guy is one of jim's best movies, but is panned by most. That is the problem with most critics they are only interested in Dramas. when everthing should be considered. The Dark Knight should of been up for best picutre but because it has a super hero in it it wasn't. Had the movie just been about a police officer it would of won. Like Sean Penn (mystic river)winning best actor over Johnny Depp (pirates). that was a load of crap, depp should of got it. But if i am paying 13 bucks to see a movie i am not going to see a drama. i will wait for it on video then watch it.

true enough that you dont ALWAYS do that, but geez I thought this was a thread to come to to list your favorite films of 2009 without getting attacked for having different opinions than the ones YOU have? so far you havent demonstrated that someone can come here and post movies they enjoyed for 2009 without that happening. 🙄
Like he said,that is your opinion, but he highly enjoyed those films and found them very entertaining.A couple of them he listed at least,were a couple of very entertaining and enjoyable films and you put him down for liking them which I still think was uncalled for and unnessary which goes for what you said to me as well for wanting to see Sherlock Holmes because I found the trailer impressive.
Btw,Just so you know.I take everything back about what i said about that movie,from the TRAILERS,I thought it looked like an amazing and outstanding film and was excited to see it, but as happens many times after viewing a trailer,the movie didnt measure up to the greatness of the trailer.

[B]Scrap that, Sherlock is mostly getting 2 out of 5 now.
totally understandable.finally saw this movie and like what happens with many other movies,this movie did not measure up to the greatness of the trailer and for sure is not one of my favorite movies of the year nor do I plan on seeing it multiple times like I was thinking I was going to want to after seeing the trailer.
I plan on giving a review of this movie another time on its own thread it has for the film.

Gran Torino was actually a 2008 film which was probably my seconf favorite movie of that year next to The Changeling ALSO directed by Eastwood.Eastwood has really gotten a lot better with age as a director.
