Documentaries are not listed here. The best Brazilian documentaries, many about Rio de Janeiro, are in this link (http://www.imdb.com/list/ADI-TwJFFH0).

You can also see two other lists of mine for Brazilian films: Movies about Northeastern Brazil (http://www.imdb.com/list/BiIMlz_ibww/) Great movies about/in São Paulo (http://www.imdb.com/list/ls066179863)  Some nice Brazilian movies (http://www.imdb.com/list/ONPVdh561Og)

I have also made a list of Brazilian movies with up to three films representative of each state (http://www.imdb.com/list/ls077633656).

ADD: short film "O bolo". https://www.facebook.com/obolocurta/  https://youtu.be/a-6GfbdBkCA

Movies about/in Rio de Janeiro (excluded the very bad ones)

Inhabitants of Belo Vale Boa Morte and Cidade de Congonhas and Paige Ellens in City of God (2002)

Films with scenes recorded in Feira de Santana, Bahia

Brasil Pitoresco: As Viagens de Cornélio Pires (1925)

Slightly more anarchic than other major reviews of the year. Senses of Cinema got the views of 89 different critics on their favourite films of the year. Some went with a lot more picks than others. Many of the films were released in 2008 (or sometimes earlier). I have only selected strict 2009 releases. You can find it here http://sensesofcinema.com/2010/feature-articles/2009-world-poll/

I have tried to only use firm recommendations, so for example, "honorable mentions" lists are not included. Adrian Danks included "Mad Men Series 3" as a movie in his list, but I have chosen not to regard this as a movie.
