HERE COMES THE TOP 10...

It was another fantastic year for movies, which a lot of massive scale movies lightened up the movie universe. Hope you didn’t miss the best ones too. So.. What are the best 10 of the last year? Check out the list and make sure you didn’t miss any. Here comes the top 10 box office movies of 2009!

Number 10: The Blind Side
Total Gross: $184,387,000
Boasting no explosions, CGI robots or vampires, but propelled by good word-of-mouth, this inspirational drama climbed its way into the number ten spot over the Christmas holiday weekend. I watched this yesterday. It’s about a homeless child who later finds a happy home with a kind family and groomed to be a popular rugby star. It’s a beautiful story.

Number 9: Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Total Gross: $196,573,705
Not only did the prehistoric critter crew return for their biggest box office outing yet, the third 'Ice Age' adventure conquered the number 2 spot at the worldwide box office with a massive $883.7 million. This is the best out of the 3 Ice Age movies, as I see. This one is so funny and there wasn’t a single moment I was bored till the moment I started to watch it.

Number 8: Monsters Vs. Aliens
Total Gross: $198,351,526
In a crowded field of animated titles this year, this monstrous adventure towered over the pack, stepping into the top ten with one of the biggest spring opening weekends ever. Well… I didn’t like this one better than Ice Age 3. Yet it’s an OK movie for me..

Number 7: AVATAR
Total Gross: $212,268,000
Arguably one of the most anticipated movies of the decade, director James Cameron's visionary sci-fi epic leaped into the top ten during the final weeks of the year. No need of any explanations. This is an awesome one, right guys?

Number 6: Star Trek
Total Gross: $257,730,019
Live long and prosper! Director J.J. Abrams' bold re-imagining of the classic sci-fi franchise proved popular with both old and new fans alike, easily grossing more than any previous Star Trek movie. This too is an OK movie. But never better than Avatar for me.

Number 5: The Hangover
Total Gross: $277,322,503
Easily the surprise breakout hit of the summer, this tawdry tale of the ultimate Vegas bachelor party gone wrong defied all expectations to become the number one R-rated comedy of all time. I’m sure the GUYS out there didn’t miss it. I loved it too. The best part for me was the guys finding famous Mike Tyson’s pet tiger in their hotel bathroom after a sober, crazy and wild nightout.

Number 4: The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Total Gross: $280,924,000
Hot off the success of 2008's 'Twilight,' the second installment of Stephanie Meyers' supernatural romance saga wolfed down a record-breaking $72,703,754 for the highest opening day earnings of all time. I didn’t watch this one yet cz I’m waiting for a better DVD rip. Hope this is as good as the second book.

Number 3: UP
Total Gross: $293,004,164
The animation wizards at Pixar did it again, soaring to number three, nabbing the studio its second highest grossing movie ever (behind Finding Nemo), and becoming the highest grossing 3D movie of all time. This is so sweet. However, not funnier than the Ice Age movie as well. Hope you loved the multi colored big bird in the movie as well as the ‘ballooned’ home.

Number 2: HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE
Total Gross: $301,959,197
The popular teen wizard returned for his sixth year at Hogwarts to grab second place, but cast a powerful spell on the worldwide box office, taking the top spot with a magical $929.4 million. I don’t think this is the best Harry Potter movie ever made. As the book implies, the movie is ‘darker’ itself. It’s just the flow of the book. Proves again that the books are better than their movie counterparts. Hope you guys will agree with me.

Number 1: TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN
Total Gross: $402,111,870
Autobots battled Decepticons to the top of the box office, not only becoming the top earning movie of the year, but also firmly planting itself at number 9 among the top ten highest domestic grossing films of all time. Well… No need to say again. This is awesome… and the best way to watch it was in widescreen.

Well.. We’ll have a good 2010 with a good line up of movies too. Iron Man 2, Alice in Wonderland, The Twilight Saga : Eclipse, Cats & Dogs part 2 and Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows Part 1 are some of them.
