Honorable Mention: Paranormal Activity
A movie that truly makes you uncomfortable and scared.
15. The Informant
Based on the true story of Mark Whitacre, a leader of the corn industry, who gets himself into trouble after spitting out a stream of lies about his company. Steven Soderbergh gives life to an interesting true story with the help of Matt Damon's stellar performance as Whitacre.
14. Bad Lieutenant: Port of call New Orleans
Nicolas Cage...enough said
13. The Invention of Lying
Very funny movie with some of the most hilarious comedians today in Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K.
12. The Girlfriend Experience
Steven Soderbergh gives a look into the job of an escort. Porn star Sasha Grey stars as Chelsea, an escort trying to find happiness and accomplishment in her job. Great camera work and an original story.
11. The Hurt Locker
The story follows a military bomb squad unit going into an intense mission in modern day Iraq. Director Kathryn Bigelow turns in her best movie yet taking home many independent awards to show for it.
I've got The Invention of Lying in my Netflix queu. Can't wait for it to come out. Haven't really heard of the others...except for Paranormal...not my type of movie.
