About this list:

The film industry is pretty much done patting itself on the back and handing out awards to each other, so time to usher in the latest batch of docudramaindiethrillactionadventureanimhorromedies of 2009. Here's a list of movies I'm either really excited about seeing or vaguely interested in (meaning I'll wait for it on DVD).

I'm a sci-fi geek so I was all over this one. Good film out of South Africa about alien forced occupation in a Johannesburg ghetto. (via D-9)

Hunger

Description

Hands down the best film I've seen this year. A brilliant first feature film by video artist Steve McQueen about the story of IRA member Bobby Sands and the hunger strike he undertook while imprisoned in the early 1980s. Without posing moral judgement, the film highlights the subjectivity and power of conviction as well as its possible profundity and futility. This movie is scarce on dialogue but has one of the sharpest written 15 minute, single shot dialogue scenes I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. (via Apple Trailers)

James Cameron's highly anticipated and possibly over-hyped CGI sci-fi fantasy film. Check out the trailer. I have to admit, I'm curious. (via Apple Movie Trailers)
