agreed. it's going on a future list of Movies I Won't See Because Dustin Wouldn't STFU About It.

I'm not sure I can truly answer, since I would suspect my favorite might be Moon or Brothers Bloom, but I've not been able to see them yet.

Based on what I have seen, I'll vote District 9. It was different, interesting, smart, funny, horrifying, sad, conversation provoking and it stayed with me for days.

My favorite movie of the summer was district 69.

Ummm...okay, I've only seen one movie this summer. If it wasn't for MiniScotiaBacon, I probably wouldn't have seen any (so thanks, lordhelmet, for saving me from total loserdom!).

Nonetheless, The Hangover was the funniest damned movie I've seen in ages, and I'm a comedy gal, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it will be my favourite of the Summer 2009 crop of movies even after I've caught up on the others from the comfort of my couch.

Up and Inglourious Basterds battle for the #1 and #2 spots. Drag Me To Hell and District 9 battle for #3 and #4. Black Devil Doll ranks #1 as most disappointing.

But I haven't seen all the movies on this list... (sniffle)

And how come Transformers isn't on there?
[kidding kidding kidding kidding kidding kidding]

Oh, and Baby Bullet raved about Ponyo.

I've seen 3 movies this summer, and The Hangover was far and away the best of them. (Thank youuuu Baconeast.)

There are 2.5 up there that I really want to see, but, like Meaux, I'm a comedy girl, so I doubt they would overtake Galifinakis wiener.

hard call between Star Trek and District 9 but I had to go wtih Star Trek for the awesome movie mixed with Nostalgia of seeing Star Trek movies as a kid with my dad.

500 days ripped my heart out of my chest and stomped on it, hard. Seriously, it was a great movie, but one I will most definitely never watch again. Am I the only one so affected by it? It was utterly heartbreaking to me and my tears rolled right through the optimistic ending.

Public Enemies???? You've GOT to be joking. Whoever oversaw the editing and hi-def imaging for shootout scene in that film, should be forced to watch that tripe over and over again. A baboon's ass could have done a better job editing. Were it not for the crazy drunk lady in the theater I was in, as well as Mr Depp, I would have demanded my money back.

Gonna admit- I REALLY liked The Hangover. Not sure if it's as high up as Wedding Crashers- I've got to see it a few more times to see if it holds up- but that movie and many lines from it, have stuck with me this summer.

Star Trek by far. It had everything. Including hotness.

District 9, I liked (500) Days of Summer, but Dustin, you're getting awfully annoying about it. It's no wonder the backlash develops like this.

I also have to say that you're the only person in the universe who has Joseph Gordon-Levitt backlash going on, nobody else cares that he was in G.I. Joe. Wait until backlash is warranted before you start.

Take Shia Le Beouf, I didn't start hating him until he did Indy 4 and Transformers, in addition to thousands of other shitty flicks I've never seen. He earned his hatred, you shouldn't spread it around unwarranted.

We've been very lucky this summer. The overall quality throughout the board has been good. At least the bad stuff was obvious a mile away and could be easily avoided.

I go with District 9 over 500 Days of Summer and Inglourious Basterds by the flimsiest of margins. I just think what Neill Blomkamp managed to do was epic -- to give that much scope, depth, thrills and heart on such a budget and (from all accounts) blow James Cameron and his alien-encounter movie out of the water.

By the way, Blomkamp, Marc Webb and Duncan Jones all had a hell of a start with D9, 500 Days and Moon. Here's hoping they follow it with equal quality.

D9 for me.

I have only seen about half the movies on the list, and I really liked most of them. However, it was Brothers Bloom that really captured me. As a chronic sufferer of Adrien Brody Effect (in which at the beginning of each film starring Adrien Brody one finds him to be unattractive, but by the end one is wiping the puddle of drool off one's lap), not mention a huge fan of light hearted jaunts, I thought it was great. Star Trek was really fun, I fell asleep during Harry Potter, (500) Days of Summer was sweet but at times felt like the quirk was forced, and I cried for the entirety of Up. Overall I thought this was a really good summer for movies, and I'm looking forward to renting some of the ones that I didn't get to see in theaters.

500 was good, but it was too cute by half. It wasn't until about an hour in that I found it engaging. The archetypal wunderkind little sister and the cookie-cutter best friends lowered it for me. And next to the giants of the genre (Say Anything, ESOTSM, etc.), it really is pretty thin, not to mention predictable.

District 9 was better, but I guess I wanted a little more out of the satire. The last act certainly is a lot of sound and fury. Granted, it's a great action movie, but if you're going to strive for the heights of sci-fi, you need to give me a little more depth.

Moon was very good too, but - again - I have high standards when it comes to sci-fi, and Moon did not wow me in the originality department or surprise me.

My winner for the summer is Basterds. It worked on absolutely all levels for me. It has the fun surface and the subtext, which is both witty and ponderous, not to mention Quentin's top directing form.

Sadly, The Hangover was the ONLY movie I saw this summer so it gets my vote. Wasn't Wolverine as summer movie??...because that's the only other one I have seen.

There were some solid movies this year. Up made me cry then laugh. Star Trek, Inglorious Basterds and The Hangover were great, 500 Days of Summer was decent and Funny People and Public Enemies were a disappointment. I didn't see the others...

That being said, The Hurt Locker was a film that stuck with me for days after I saw it. The only movie I was on the edge of my seat for the whole time. I was wiped out emotionally walking out of that theater. Jeremy Renner deserves an Oscar. 3% means that enough of you didn't see it. Run to the theater and see this movie, you won't be disappointed.

Saved! It's switching to another indie theater over the weekend.

I know you all care very much about whether I am able to see The Hurt Locker in the theater or have to wait for the DVD.

500 Days of Summer, Up and District 9 aren't out here yet, and I haven't even heard of some of the other movies on the list. So based on what I've seen, my vote goes to Drag Me To Hell. I thought Star Trek and The Brothers Bloom were great too, but neither of them had the effect on me Drag Me To Hell had. :)

Anyone (and that's too many of you) who didn't vote Drag Me To Hell might as well hand me their buttons now; I'm going goat-demon on your arses.

I'm always bemused by those of you who claim to be drunk in the comments. You're drunk and your best option is to troll Pajiba? Yeah, the comments might be funnier but shouldn't you be off fucking or rubbing one out to "The Squirt Locker" or "Humping Ms. Daisy"?

What do you expect Newman, these homos around here don’t know how to do drunk.

I voted for District 9 but really it's a tough call between that and Moon. Still haven't seen 500 Days of Summer (because it only just came to my stupid little town).

What? No Julie and Julia?

I gave it to In the Loop, although I would have preferred to vote for three or four of those. I saw Up, at last, two days ago, and it damn near destroyed me, while Inglourious Basterds and Drag Me to Hell were to most fun I've had in a cinema in a good long time.

Can there be a most overrated movie of the Summer poll? Because 500 Days was charming, but not that good, while District 9 was - despite having so, so much going for it - bordered on being bad. I don't understand the hype for that movie. Just me?

Awwwwww. No love for Funny People. I really liked that movie. So what that it dealt with death. It was still hilarious in other parts. A bit too long but still great.

Hurt Locker was the bomb too. Pun definitely intended.

Saw Black Devil Doll for the second time at the Rue-Morgue fest and it was GREAT! Sick, twisted and down right hilarious. Can't wait for the dvd. You are clueless.
