A best-of list at the year's halfway point? Hell yeah, but ain't a damn thing about it done halfway.
Blow the whistle—it's halftime in 2009! All week long we've been listing our favorite things that floated into the Complex universe in the past six months. We already gave you our picks for the best sneakers, albums, style essentials, and video games; now, we close the week out with The Top 10 Movies. Fortunately movies haven't sucked like rap has, so we had to really think about what deserved a spot and how it measured up to the rest. What we were left with is a legit list of must-see, worth-the-price-of-admission flicks (or at least the time it takes to download them illegally). Action, comedy, drama, romance, horror, sci-fi, sports, animation, documentary, blockbuster, indie—we've got it all. Find out which flick took the top spot and why as we count it down. As always, let us know if you have bad taste and disagree.
#10:Observe and Report
DIRECTOR: Jody Hill
STARS: Seth Rogen, Anna Faris, Ray Liotta, Michael Peña, Jesse Plemons
PLOT: Bipolar and professionally impotent mall cop Ronnie Barnhardt (Rogen) competes with real police to catch a flasher who's throwing his junk around the shopping center parking lot.
THE COMPLEX CO-SIGN: After playing several harmless, well-intentioned slackers, Rogen goes to the comedic dark side like Travis Bickle with the jokey-jokes. Date rape has never been so funny! (Hey, we didn't make it #1.)
