Top 10 Best Films of 2009 Countdown (1-5)
Posted Friday, January 8, at 11:47 AM

(The countdown continues...) 5. The Hangover I have said this movie was the best comedy this year, but this movie was quite possibly one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Todd Phillips, who directed another comedic classic Old School directed a solid film oddly enough with a B-Level cast as the lead actors (Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifinakis).

The epic holiday Dickens tale, "A Christmas Carol," is retold through the mind of director Robert Zemeckis and by Jim Carrey who not only play the lead role of Ebenezer Scrooge, but in fact plays seven other characters in the film. In the film, Scrooge, a bitter and miserly old moneylender, holds everything that embodies the joys and spirit of Christmas in contempt, keeping to himself and being nasty to people, including his employee Bob Cratchit (Gary Oldman)...
