There were a lot of terrific movies this year, but my top two (I couldn't decide which was tops) were the very different INGLORIOUS BASTERDS (Aug) and THE HURT LOCKER (July). AN EDUCATION (Oct) was a close third. I also really enjoyed THE INFORMANT (Sept), FUNNY PEOPLE (Aug)and UP IN THE AIR (Dec).
The Best Animated - UP (May). PRINCESS AND THE FROG was very good, but UP is a classic.
The Funniest - THE HANGOVER (June).
Best Science Fiction - STAR TREK (if you want to call it sci-f :-) (May)). DISTRICT 9 (Aug), and MOON (June).
Best Foreign films - from Japan DEPARTURES (June), from Sweden EVERLASTING MOMENTS (Apr), and the Denmark FLAME AND CITRON (Aug).
Best Documentary - HARVARD BEATS YALE 29-29 (Mar).
Best Relationship Movies - (5OO) DAYS OF SUMMER (Jul) and ADAM (Sept).
Best Sports Movies - SUGAR (May)and DAMNED UNITED. (Oct)

I agree with most here (haven't seen as many movies this year). You know AO and "the other guy" listed Departure (Japan) as one of the worst movies and I know several people (discerning critics of film like yourself) who really thought it was a good film. ?
After watching AO and Michael for a while, and especially hearing their best and worst lists, I realize we really don't share the same taste. I think Departures won the Oscar for best foreign flick.
