Top Ten Films in 2009

During the entire calendar year of 2009, I watched 208 feature films, in addition to many shorts. Compared to last year's 260 feature films, I watched preceisely 20% fewer films. It has nothing to do with the economy slowdown. It is a deliberated effort from my part to reduce the bad movies I might otherwise have to suffer.

Even though I still watched a few bad films, there is little merit to focus on them any further. However, it is always a great pleasure to relive the magical movements watching some of the best films in 2009. After this list is completed, I realize a high percentage of Asian films. Not intentional, it is just the way it is I guess.
