My list is kind of strange in that I haven't seen very many of the big Globe contenders (thanks, snowstorm!) - so I had to cobble it together from what I had seen. Thankfully, I keep a running list.
Note: If I had my way, Sita Sings the Blues would be included, but sadly it's still waiting for distribution. I'm crossing my fingers that'll happen soon and I can put in on my 2009 list. :)
Thrilled to see another vote for "The Bank Job." Really wish more people had seen it, and that Jason Statham would make more movies of this caliber. He's really good--and so is everyone else (Keeley Dawes, Saffron Burrows, etc.). Best heist film in ages.
