"Got one more than Shaq!"
I love these little debates...I know there's still a little bit left of 2009...but I figured we could start the conversation now and if anything startling pops up we can add it in later.
I thought the best place to start might be the list of Best Picture nominees and winners from the Academy Awards....the pics may not be everyone's cup of tea but they are generally a good starting off point.

No Country for Old Men (2007 was a GOOD year!!)
This list is by no means definitive and there are some excellent flims not included such as The Prestige and Into the Wild.....not to mention comedies like Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and The Hangover.
