Post Critics' top picks of 2009
http://criticstop10.com/

Finally updated for this year.

Current Top 10:


1. The Hurt Locker
2. Inglourious Basterds
3. A Serious Man
4. Up/The Fantastic Mr. Fox (TIE)
6. Up in the Air
7. Summer Hours
8. 35 Shots of Rum
9. An Education
10. Precious

When all lists are in I expect The White Ribbon, Avatar and maybe Star Trek to break into the Top 10.

Wtf is 35 Shots of Rum?

The Hurt Locker is definitely the alpha-dog in this race. Impressively cool top 3 for critics.

Mr. Fox continues to look good

Up in the Air has the highest percentage of "top spots / # of lists made".

Highest-placed film with no #1 spots - The Messenger with 38 lists. It's sad that after scoring BIG TIME with critics, Drag Me to Hell is nowhere to be found.

The numbers have updated, but not the ranking, as Up would've moved up to No. 2 in term of # of lists made.

Not really surprising, though. It's not up for any awards.

It's an awful film, too.

Are Public Enemies or The Hangover up for any awards?

Public Enemies should be. And The Hangover made the fucking AFI list.

Hangover is so far behind. I am not really sure how this works are they only looking at lists and the tops you made into ?
