...


50. 'Where the Wild Things Are'
Adapting a much-beloved, 10-sentence children's book into a movie seemed like an impossible feat -- and director Spike Jonze's efforts resulted in perhaps the year's most divisive movie. But no one can deny that the film's dreamy cinematography and soaring soundtrack captured the melancholic essence of the Maurice Sendak's original work. And then there's the titular wild things, all soulful eyes and existential angst, who made our hearts rumpus. -- Kelly Woo

49. 'Michael Jackson's This Is It'
The King of Pop's death rekindled a myriad of emotions from anger to admiration, but it was the release of 'This Is It' four months later that eschewed ideas of Jackson: The Man and focused on Jackson: The Performer. At its core, the film reminded former and current fans of the energy, determination and talent it took to be, at one time, the world's most popular entertainer and the unfulfilled promise of an imminent triumphant comeback. -- Jason Newman

48. 'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs'
'Cloudy' was one of 2009's many family-friendly 3D offerings that managed to stand out (pun intended!) thanks to its flawless animation and obvious jabs at Hollywood's big-budget disaster flicks. And with comedic stars Bill Hader and Anna Faris voicing the leads in a kooky story about a town in danger of being overcome by its food-flavored weather, this one rained hilarity. -- Alicia Roda

47. 'Earth'
Let James Cameron spend hundreds of millions creating a breathtakingly beautiful distant planet. There were no special effects needed to inspire similar awe in Disney's first in a series of new nature films, which played like a highlight reel from the beloved BBC series 'Planet Earth.' This eco-friendly, dazzling doc deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as 'March of the Penguins.' (Better yet, it sees 'Penguins' narrator Morgan Freeman and raises it a James Earl Jones.) -- Kevin Polowy

46. 'In the Loop'
This whip-smart political satire starring Peter Capaldi and James Gandolfini is a funny, refreshingly crude and frighteningly eye-opening look at the behind-the-scenes machinations that occur when the British Secretary of State inadvertently publicly backs a war, igniting a PR sh**storm. If this is truly what goes on in government, we're all in trouble. -- Tom DiChiara

44. 'The September Issue'
She may be a devil in Prada, as some movies suggest. But here, Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is seen as a dedicated, hard-working and -- dare we say it -- likable figure in this breezy doc from R.J. Cutler. The real scene stealer, though, is creative director Grace Coddington, whose no-nonsense, carefree attitude provides the perfect yin to Wintour's yang. Suddenly, September is the new black. -- Andy Scott

45. 'It's Complicated'
'Something's Gotta Give' director Nancy Meyers, master of the middle-aged romantic comedy, delivers an uproarious look at what happens when a 10-years-divorced couple (an effervescent Meryl Streep and Alec Baldwin, channeling Jack Donaghy) have a secret affair. Hint: earth-shattering ***, inappropriate pot-smoking and Baldwin's naked buttocks on Skype. -- TD

43. 'Duplicity'
Those of us who loved 'Duplicity' were simultaneously thrilled and depressed by it -- thrilled because it was smart, funny, sharply written and featured top-notch (and sexy) performances by Clive Owen and Julia Roberts as competitive spies; depressed because this smart, funny, sharply written, well-acted movie went nowhere at the box office. Well, they can't all be 'Transformers 2.' -- Patricia Chui

42. 'Ponyo'
Remember the first time you saw 'The Little Mermaid'? Now picture that same magical undersea adventure in the simple, delightfully sweet style of anime. The guru of the medium, Hayao Miyazaki ('Spirited Away,' 'Princess Mononoke'), created this whimsical G-rated treat, but it was the boss over at Pixar who brought it to the U.S., nabbing big names like Noah Cyrus, Frankie Jonas, Tina Fey and Matt Damon to voice the English translation. -- Maggie Furlong

41. 'Drag Me to Hell'
Sam Raimi returns to his B-movie roots (see the 'Evil Dead' series) with a flick that reminds us horror movies don't have to be torture (or better yet, torture porn). In fact, they can be a whole lot of fun to watch ... especially when they're filled with chills, laughs and tons of gross stuff flying into Alison Lohman's mouth. -- TD
