	Good idea, although with so many cruddy, forgettable movies at #1 it becomes increasingly hard to remember them at all.

	shanekelby:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 05:11 GMT		7 points
	I could tell that, as I was getting one movie here and Avatar there, that I would be totally fine with my score of 6 out of 52.

	nhrafan:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 05:18 GMT		33 points
	This has to be the first time in recent memory that MovieDynamic has made a comment that I not only agreed with, but felt the need to vote up.

	wow no movie was number one for more than two weekends in a row.

	I'm really glad I spent last year in Russia.

	so many forgettable movies. i can't spell meAtballs

	What a terrible year for movies.

	BobMillahhh:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 08:40 GMT		14 points
	It wasn't a terrible year for movies, it's just that the majority of the population are morons who will turn out in hordes to see the awful ones.

	waiting4oct:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 10:15 GMT		11 points
	It'd be nice if things like "Transformers" or "Harry Potter" or "Terminator" worked.

	rockgolf:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 10:52 GMT		2 points
	Y'know all these movies seemed terribly important to go to last year.

	you know, in amongst all the moans about how bad the movies were last year rahdy rahdy rah there are actually some good ones - district 9 was brilliant. marley and me is also not that bad i can't believe paul blart got to number one!

	BonnieH:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 12:50 GMT		2 points
	What a crap year for movies. Even some of the bigger names weren't that good of films.

	kthejoker:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 13:17 GMT		9 points
	Really? A crap year? Between Inglorious Basterds, Up, Das weisse Band, District 9, Moon, Black Dynamite, Up In The Air, A Single Man, Coraline, A Serious Man, Broken Embraces, Bright Star, Leaves of Grass, Fantastic Mr. Fox, An Education, Crazy Heart, In The Loop, The Maid, Handsome Harry, Get Low, Dogtooth, Madeo ... so many good movies this year. Just most of them weren't Hollywood #1s.

	RC_Cola:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 13:54 GMT		2 points
	I agree with joker, but it's odd that there wasn't one movie that dominated for more than two weeks. Even the big-budget summer blockbusters, while they made their fair share of money, didn't hold peoples' attentions too long.

	It's interesting that even some of these mega hits like transformers and Twilight only spent a week or two at the top of the list. I guess it shows that the real money comes from staying power, how long you can stay as a high grossing movie rather than being number one on opening week.

	kingstony:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 15:09 GMT		1 point
	Was Avatar still No 1 at the beginning of the new year?

	rockgolf:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 15:17 GMT		2 points
	#1 movies these days are like #1 pop singles a generation ago. A lot of gimmicky output aimed at the youth market. Occasionally a great song or great movie will be #1 on the charts, but it's not the norm. And just like pop music, a lot of #1's will be forgotten, but a lot of lesser box office hits will be remembered. It wasn't all that long ago when weekend box office numbers were just not known to the general public.

	Just proves that things that are popular aren't necessarily memorable... or good. Paul Blart: Mall Cop was virtually ignored in the UK.

	Mockenrue:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 16:26 GMT		2 points
	"Twilight New Moon" should be accepted as an alternate answer, especially because it's closer to the actual name of the movie. Also, the GI Joe movie is called "The Rise of Cobra," not "Rise of the Cobra."

	bookbomb:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 18:03 GMT		-1 points
	Wow I have most of these movies and yet, missed so many

	sub:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 18:20 GMT		1 point
	@ArrogantDuck: was it as heavily advertised as it was in the US? Seems like most of the movies on this list (with the exception of Cloudy) had a lot of marketing/advertising behind them.

	Rayavi:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 19:13 GMT		4 points
	I could have gotten a couple more, but I try to forget that Twilight exists. It's not easy, but I have a lot of confidence in my self-delusional capabilities making my world a better place.

	omnipotent1:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 19:23 GMT		3 points
	If you were to look at the box office number one movies from previous years, even decades, you'd find a similar situation of where many forgettable films led the way. Hollywood studios aren't out to enlighten you or make you think, they're out to make as much money as possible.

	I've never even heard of half of these movies! I mean, Knowing -- what the heck was that?

	MovieDynamic:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 20:29 GMT		0 points
	Yeah, 2009 was actually an exceptional year in movies, but those movies are usually not the ones to reach #1. As for those questioning films not staying at #1 for more than two weeks, that's just how it is. It's very rare for a movie to stay #1 for 3+ weeks these days, although as you all know Avatar stayed at #1 for a whopping 7 weeks into 2010, the longest running streak since The Sixth Sense in 1999.

	ripcity:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 20:46 GMT		2 points
	exackerly, if you're unfamiliar with Knowing, consider yourself lucky... very, very lucky.

	catrav77:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 22:04 GMT		0 points
	...Wow my timer didn't start. I got avatar, Marley and Me, He's just not that into you, district 9, then sat there for 12 minutes trying to think of at least one more, and was astonished to see that I still had 8 minutes left...Then I realized It wasn't counting down

	John0:	Jul 22nd, 2010 at 23:39 GMT		2 points
	I know people like to characterize the popularity of most of these movies as hordes of morons, but I really don't think that's it. I think it's just a matter of those are the ones that are broad and bland enough to be fourth on everyone's list of things they "would" see, and the only common one. I seriously doubt anyone was dying to see Paul Blart, it was just innocuous enough that all four people could agree on it instead of what each really wanted to see. Having seen almost none of these movies, I can't claim any expertise, but that's my theory on it. Except for twilight...there's still no excuse for twilight.

	Hints would help a lot. Main actor/actress,or something.Just guessing blindly,I never would've gotten Obsessed,or 17 Again, or most of the other 45 or so movies I missed. Save Inglorious Basterds,Up and Zombieland,2009 really was bad,wasn't it?

	Can't believe I forgot The Hangover. That was my favorite movie of the year - that and Star Trek

	Lilybert:	Jul 26th, 2010 at 21:02 GMT		1 point
	I am uber glad Brüno dominated box offiz for a week! Big deal.

	How did I miss Gran Torino? It was one of the few of these that I actually LIKED! And it was sad that so few people got Taken (so to speak, since it was incredible!

	It's a shame so many people missed Star Trek :(
