District 9 (Two-Disc Edition)
2.  District 9 (Two-Disc Edition) DVD ~ Sharlto Copley
The list author says:

Avatar [Theatrical Release]
3.  Avatar [Theatrical Release] by 20th Century Fox
The list author says:
  "Quite possibly the best FX I've ever seen, which was why I was there.  I don't know how they made this movie but it is amazing (at least in terms of visual FX).  I loved it.  If you could experience this at home they will sell a lot of 3-D tvs."

Trick 'r Treat
7.  Trick 'r Treat DVD ~ Anna Paquin
The list author says:
  "Warner Bros. committed a social atrocity by denying this film a theatrical release.  This is a new Halloween tradition that should be at least two years old by now.  Warner Bros. should hang their heads (studio heads that is) in shame.  Must see for any Horror fan!"

The Brothers Bloom
8.  The Brothers Bloom DVD ~ Adrien Brody
The list author says:
  "This story of two con-men brothers, their near silent explosive expert partner Bang Bang, and their last mark is really, really well done.  From the people that brought us the excellent noirish Brick.  Worth a look if you like quirky characters."

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Two-Disc Limited Special Edition)
22.  Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Two-Disc Limited Special Edition) DVD ~ Daniel Radcliffe
The list author says:
  "I really do love this series and this movie is a nice balm after the bitter that was Transformers 2.  While I still like Prisoner of Azkaban the best (nothing beats Buckbeak) this movie rests squarley on the shoulders of its young actors, who display a comfort and ease that is uncanny and fun to behold.  It's Harry Potter, see it."

The list author says:
  "Out of the two summer movies released this year based on toy lines amazingly it's the one without giant robots blowing things up that emerges the best.  Snake Eyes is awesome, the movie doesn't suck, and I think I'm in love with Scarlett."

26.  Last House on the Left (2009) DVD ~ Garret Dillahunt
The list author says:
  "A vastly superior remake over the original film, this movie is more sensible but also slightly more realistic.  Not a good time at the movies but a good, horrifying Horror film."

Surveillance
28.  Surveillance DVD ~ Julia Ormond
The list author says:
  "Offputting and surreal, this movie is not for everyone and, with the limited cast, not too hard to figure out.  But it is one heckuva twisted ride.  French Stewart and Bill Pullman give wickedly good performances."

Splinter
29.  Splinter DVD ~ Paulo Costanzo
The list author says:
  "A very good little Horror film with a small cast and mucho terror.  A very interesting creature design that owes more than a little bit to John Carpenter's The Thing.  Still, a great way to dismember 80 some minutes of your time.  A cool movie."

Alien Raiders
30.  Alien Raiders DVD ~ Derek Basco
The list author says:
  "It could be swept aside as a knockoff of Carpenter's The Thing meets Stephen King's The Mist, except it is done so well and played extremely straight.  Very good movie that needs a just as well done sequel."

Franklyn
31.  Franklyn DVD ~ James Faulkner
The list author says:
  "If more people went and saw films like this, or if more films like this actually made it to theaters, quality cinema might actually make a comeback.  A psychological sci-fi drama that is really cool and deserves to be seen."
