The best and the worst of the year 2009

The biggest complaint I could have about the year 2009 is the lack of dramas. This seems to be a  occurrence of the past years. But in the absence of dramas other genres jumped in. Animation, Fantasy, Action, Sci-fi, all these genres that you never usually see as the best films of the year are in my list. This year did have a mix to it but also some rotten apples.
