Top 10 Movies from Sundance Film Festival 2009
Sundance is officially over and now it is time for me to breakdown the 10 best movies that I saw during the festival. Prepare yourself, this is going to be a good one:
1) ‘Worlds Greatest Dad’
Bobcat brought this movie to Sundance, and it was the sleeper hit of the festival. Robin Williams in probably he most controversial role. Great but super dark.
2) ‘We Live in Public’
Ondi Timoner has truly created one of the greatest documentaries of our time. Josh Harris is responsible for everything that you currently see or do on the web. Not to mention this film won the Documentary Grand Jury Prize at Sundance.
3) ’500 Days of Summer’
Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel together in an indie romantic comedy? Yes Please.
4) ‘Black Dynamite’
I have been propping this movie for months, of course it made the list! Plus it was one hell of a ride.
5) ‘Mystery Team’
This movie surprised me, definitely one of my favorites. A movie about a group of high school mystery detectives that get brought on to help solve a double murder in their small town. Derrick Comedy Group Rules!
6) ‘Humpday’
Mumble core movie of Sundance, and EVERYONE loved this. 2 best friends decide to make an “artsy” amateur porn for Hump Fest about 2 straight guys having sex with each other.
7) ‘Bronson’
Tom Hardy plays the UK’s infamous prisoner “Charlie Bronson”. This movie is absolutely amazing.
8) ‘The Winning Season’
Sam Rockwell brings the house down as an alcoholic ex basketball coach who is brought on to revive the girls varsity basketball team
9) ‘Peter and Vandy’
A great and witty love story from Jay DiPietro and I think this might have been the best love story of Sundance 2009.
10) ‘Adventureland’
This movie had the biggest hype going in, and although it didn’t live up to ALL the hype it was still a super heartwarming movie.
There you have it boys and girls, my top 10 favorite movies at Sundance 2009. I cant wait to do it again next year!
