Perfect Movies of 2009 - Top 3
Here are the 3 best movies of 2009 that got our adrenaline pumping and the dynamite exploding. We love good movies and have seen hundreds in our time.
- The Blind Side. It’s easy to see why America has fallen head over heels for this true-life story of Leigh Anne Toughy (Sandra Bullock), a well-to-do white Memphis woman, and Michael Oher, the black teen (Quintin Aaron) she adopts off the streets and nurtures into a star athlete. It’s irresistible, charming, reliably inspirational and download The Blind Side movie comes with a fairy-tale ending we know actually happened. Of course, it’s also got football — and is truly the greatest tale of a left tackle ever produced.
- 500 Days of Summer. Tired of the same-old, run-o’-the-mill romantic comedies? Here’s the antidote — a film so solid it feels strange to group in that dubious genre. Told out of order with a kickass soundtrack, whimsical flourishes (including a fantasy sequence involving Hall & Oates), and stellar turns by leads/part-time lovers Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, 500 Days of Summer movie is what so few love stories are these days: lovely.
- Precious. Oscar winner Mo’Nique. You may want to get used to saying that, because her brilliant, out-of-left field performance in ‘Precious’ is generating the kinds of raves that most actors can only dream of. And while Precious full movie may not be the feel-good film of the year, this ultimately triumphant story is supported by an ensemble of terrific performances worth seeing, newcomer Gabourey Sidibe in the lead. Even Mariah Carey shines as a social worker, in a performance that will almost make you forget that disaster called ‘Glitter.’ Almost.
