 Your favorite movie of summer 2009? Well, the summer is coming to an end and since it is rather unlikely that Gamer or All About Seve will top anyone's favorites list I might just as well ask this now.
IMO, it was a very fulfilling and interesting summer, even though most of the great films were not the expected action-blockbusters.
I have seen almpst all of the biggies with the biggest omission being Up (still waiting for the release).
My Top 5 so far are:
1. Star Trek
2. The Hurt Locker
3. District 9
4. Orphan
5. The Hangover
However only #1 and #2 are pretty certain, after that there are about 5-6 films that are all really close.

Re: Your favorite movie of summer 2009? 1. DRAG ME TO HELL
2. ORPHAN
3. (500) DAYS OF SUMMER
I didn't see THAT many summer movies, but none of the others I did see matter. I believe the only others I saw were ICE AGE 3, BRUNO, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE, THE FINAL DESTINATION, and THE UGLY TRUTH.

Re: Your favorite movie of summer 2009? G.I. Joe The Rise of Cobra
Drag Me To Hell
The Final Destination
The Proposal
I haven't seen an awful film this year.
Funny People and Year One look like the turkeys of the summer in my opinion.

Re: Your favorite movie of summer 2009? The Hangover
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Inglourious Basterds
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra
Star Trek
The order changes a lot. I think Inglourious Basterds might be my favorite of the year so far.

Re: Your favorite movie of summer 2009? On the mainstream side this summer was pretty meh, but it had some great indie releases:
My top 5:
1) Uh, duh (500) days of summer
2) Moon
3) Star Trek
4) UP
5) District 9
Honorable nominee- Inglorious Basterds
Without moon and 500dos it's a pretty weak summer, but with them it was pretty solid, especially with Away We Go as the little cherry on top.

Re: Your favorite movie of summer 2009? I think it's a testament to the quality of this summer that a movie like Star Trek that was well-liked and beloved by most posters here still stands at 2 votes and movies like The Hurt Locker and District 9 got none.
