A Perfect GetawayĪ really good, surprisingly overlooked thriller, this. So to round off our series of underrated flicks of the 2000s, here’s our selection of 2009’s overlooked films… 25. Making almost $2.8bn worldwide, Avatar was a true behemoth, besting Cameron’s own Titanic as the highest-grossing film of all time (not adjusted for inflation) and hastening a rush of 3D films in the years that followed.įilms such as 2012, Sherlock Holmes and boozy comedy The Hangover were also among the top 10, but as always, some of the most memorable and individual films of the year were far from the most financially successful. The year 2009 will partly be remembered as the year Avatar dominating the box office, with audiences flocking to see James Cameron’s leafy pulp epic in shimmering 3D.
