District 9

It takes an exceptionally good film to keep Ibolya and I awake these days but District 9 had us totally gripped. It's by far the best film we've seen in ages, probably the best film of 2009 (after 'Let the Right One In') and a film that really has it all; great acting, good script, an original idea, politically sound, refreshingly low budget but big enough for well executed CGI. And when was the last time you saw a film set in Johannesburg? It is a lot, lot better than Avatar.
