Stephen King's Favorite Films of 2009Posted: January 5th, 2010 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
 
Author Stephen King sat down with Entertainment Weekly to share his top ten list of favorite movies of 2009. He gave the entire year a "B" rating and called Leonardo DiCaprio's "Revolutionary Road" the biggest disappointment.
King explained: "It's true that I found only nine straight-A's when I looked back through my movie notebook (No. 10 on this list was an A–), but there wasn't a single F, and that's a first in my years as an EW columnist."
His list shows some bizarre choices, but King offers a brief explanation. Check it out below.
10. 2012: "Throwback to the great disaster movies of the '70s."
9. FANTASTIC MR. FOX: "Both the kids and the grown-ups in my audience screamed with delighted laughter."
8. THE TAKING OF PELHAM 1 2 3: "This makes Public Enemies look pretty tame."
7. LAW ABIDING CITIZEN: "Script is wound tight and clever enough to draw blood."
6. DISTRICT 9: "If 2012 is good cheese, then District 9 is a fine wine."
5. THE READER: "Kate Winslet's Hanna Schmitz was the best performance I saw all year."
4. DISGRACE: "The scenery is gorgeous, and the story is hypnotic."
3. THE ROAD: "It's often painful to watch, but Viggo Mortensen's performance as the dedicated father is Oscar bait."
2. THE LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT: "Easily the most brilliant remake of the decade. This film is on par with The Silence of the Lambs."
1. THE HURT LOCKER: "Perfectly honed drama that speaks to the addictive attractions of risk and violence."

i'd have to agree with everything he said except for 2012, and Last House. i mean i enjoyed them, but something about having the Last House remake and the word "brilliant" in the same sentence bugs me.
also i didnt see Disgrace, but i'm defintely going to know. thanks Steve!

Stephen King is a soft d*ck *sshole. Why doesnt he go back to Dairy, and jerk off over some gravestones.

Finally someone gives The Road the credit it deserves! Its easily the best performance of the year by a leading man that nobody saw.
Its also good to know that I'm not the only sick f*cker out there that liked Last House on the Left. Thats one of the grittiest films I've seen since The Hills Have Eyes remake and I loved it! The 10 minute rape scene was ridiculously hard to watch, but what a catalyst for all the action that follows. The film had BALLS, and you dont get enough of that anymore from Hwood.
All in all, this ain't a bad list. Yo VODSON, why so much hate for King? Are you the guy that ran him over while he was jogging?

Ever since I read the IT, i've harbored some hate against the man. He had little kids playing with each others d*cks, and had all the boys in the story have sex with the girl. What age were they in the story, like 11 or something. Everytime I see his picture, I see him having sex with a corpse, or perhaps a chicken. Chicken f*cker! Last House on the Left is in my top ten flicks of the year, thats what you call revenge.

The Last House on the Left? Seriously? I can't believe the supposed "Master of Horror" like that piece of dreck. I seriously hope he is having an episode and mixing it up with the original. That was a horror film with some serious teeth.

Vdodson: I hated "Gerald's Game". After reading that book, I swore that I would never buy a King novel full price again.
Why is King even asked for his opinion about movies? His holds no more weight then anyone elses. Wasn't he suppose to retire?

2012 and Law Abiding Citizen do not belong on any top 10 list at all. Well, maybe if it's worst but certainly not best.
Actually, Law Abiding Citizen wasn't THAT bad but it's not very good either.

King is one of the sickest minds to ever reach mainstream recognition, and for that he deserves some praise.

Well 2012 was a great disaster movie best disaster movie in the last 3 or 4 years it shouldnt be on the list (unless its disaster movies) next would be The last house on the left WOW really its a ok movie but maybe he should have gave it props as the best remake and NOT have it on 2 on his list but maybe he and maybe this list would make more scence if its the only 10 movies of 2009 that he seen

So, King and I agree on Pelham and Last House? I think Stephen King just became one of my new personal heroes. And those of you who didn't like those two remakes, you can suck it. Cuz that one did make Public Enemies look pretty tame (although I liked P.E. a little, to be fair).
