Here at Film Junk we value your opinion just as much as our own (most of the time!), so for the past few years we’ve been doing an annual poll to determine the best movies of the year in a variety of genres and categories. This year we had the most participants yet, so hopefully the results will truly reflect the views of the majority of Film Junk’s readers and listeners.

As always, even though we made an effort to keep each category competitive, there were still some movies that won by a landslide — the Drama, Sci-Fi Action and Documentary categories in particular were no contest. By far the tightest race was the Foreign Film category, with just a few votes separating all five nominees. So, without any further ado, feast your eyes on the full list of winners for the 2009 Film Junk Reader’s Choice Awards.
