Ryan's Top 5 Movies Of 2009 (And One Crappy Movie)

So it's that time of year again where we in the media look back and reflected exactly what we wasted our time and money on. First off, I'll start with my list of the best movies of 2009, which you'll find is pretty sparse. Why is that? Mostly because I don't exactly get out to the theaters that often, as I feel that going to the theater should be somewhat of an event. I try to steer away from the crap that gets released nowadays (though as you'll read on from the list, that's not quite all that accurate anymore). Therefore, this list will focus only on movies I've actually seen in theaters, which is the only real way to watch movies, no matter how big your LCD TV is or what kind of stereo system you have. So, even a ton of blockbuster movies will be left off this list. No Star Trek. No GI Joe. No Up! No Ponyo. No Transformers 2...though it probably wouldn't have made the list anyway. No The Hangover. No Drag Me To Hell (which is really the only movie that I'm angry about having missed the theatrical run). No Ong-Bak 2 (damn you limited release!)

So here's my Top 5 Movies of 2009. Why five? Because that's one less than the total number of movies I've seen in theaters this year! What's that one, then? Well, I'm glad you asked.
