580 Movies in 2009. 89 less than last year, but I got the cinema 176 times, which was 4 more times than last year, so I hope that makes up for it.
I saw 350 films for the first time this year including 127 older films that I had never got around to seeing.
So, Here are the remaining 223 films in a very vague order of Best to Worst in my bizarre and not to be recognised in any way opinion. (I would like to point out now that Positions vary WIDLEY depending on what mood I’m in or how the crowd reacted, stuff like that. And chances are I’d change the order next week if I were to do it again.)
My Top Ten:
1. District 9
2. Mayters
3. Drag Me To Hell
4. Moon
5. Star Trek
6. Up

This year I went to the movies 146 times. 4 more times than last year! I saw 121 movies and a double episode of Star Trek. I went to 2 Movie Marathons. I went to 12 Preview Screenings, 1 Free screening and snuck into 1 screening, Saw 4. I also saw 1 film, Pink Flamingos in a festival, an older film but one I had always intended to see and I'm glad I got to see it for the first time on the big screen.
I'd also like to mention some films that, for whatever reason, were not released in Australia but I managed to see them anyway. Films like Southland Tales, The TV Set, Bug, and the Grindhouse Double feature of Planet Terror and Deathproof, which was actually released here but for a very short run and I missed it. They would have all made it high up on my list as well.
I Highly Recommend any films 1 to 41. That's a lot of good films this year. Films 42 to 85 are recommended. 106 to 121 don't bother with. The rest are just Ok.

Here's my new blog
So I decided for next year to keep a blog of all the films I watch with a little review of each so if anyone is interested you can keep track of my ridiculous viewing habits. It'll also make my end of year best and worst list easier to keep track of.
I won't officially start reviewing and posting until Jan 1st, but for the meantime I might post up lists I've made from previous years in preparation for this years. It'll be good to keep them all in one spot for a change.
