I love making lists. Sue me.
Here's a list of my favorite new films of 2009. They're not necessarily all new-new but they're all new to me. The list is comprised of films I rated 4.25/5 stars or above. Because I'm anal retentive like that. For what it's worth, my rating system works like this:
5/5=the perfect film. This doesn't exist.
4.75/5=a masterpiece
4.5/5=A+
4.25/5=A
4/5=A-
These are the ranks I'll be paying attention to here. Enjoy; I certainly did.
