I don't watch very many movies and the only one released in 2009 I can remember is Up. I thought it was a decent movie but I didn't love it, as I'm not a big movie person. I thought the music was well done and was implemented into the story really well (it one the Academy Award for music). The scenery was great to look at, and it was interesting because it was the only Pixar movie so far to be set in the wilderness.
My all-time favorite movie is 2001: A Space Odyssey, which was released in 1968. It's my favorite because the pace is perfect for me, combined with the amazing way classical music is combined with objects floating in space. The story is unpredictable and cerebral, and you can watch the movie multiple times and interpret it differently each time. It has limited dialogue and instead relies more on visuals and sound to convey the plot and characters, which truly sets it apart from any other movie. I first watched in on the internet, where on veoh.com they had a 45-minute chunk of the movie. Then I went out and bought it on Blu-ray and watched it on my big-screen tv.

2001 has to be an all-time classic.
