10. Sunshine Cleaning A marvelous film about a woman (Amy Adams) who teams with her ne'er-do-well sister (Emily Blunt) and finds a niche in the job market-cleaning up crime scenes. A comedy with some decidedly touching elements, another marvelous performance by Alan Arkin (playing a more ambitious variation on his character in "Little Miss Sunshine"), and plenty of quirk, as well as a nice performance by the increasingly-busy Clifton Collins Jr., who was in pretty much ever film released in '09, including "Star Trek," "Crank: High Voltage," "Extract," and "Boondock Saints II."
