10 Favorite Movies of 2009

I watched a lot of very good movies this year, so this list was really, really hard to narrow down. I let myself sneak a few more in with the photo montage, but here are the ten I finally settled on for my top choices, in chronological order. (For the record, these are all movies I saw for the first time this year.)

• The Lady Eve (1941)
• Brief Encounter (1945)
• The 400 Blows (1959)
• Psycho (1960)
• Annie Hall (1977)
• Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
• Mansfield Park (1999)
• Hero (2002)
• Man on Wire (2008)
• Up (2009)
