Pride Of Manchester Award for Best Movie with a Manchester Connection
2009 was an amazing year for Mancunian movies. In January, Radcliffe Director Danny Boyle's 'Slumdog Millionaire' wowed audiences across the globe and went on to runaway success at the Oscars, winning 8 Academy Awards including Best Picture & Best Director. Closer to home, Ken Loach's Cannes-shortlisted Manchester flick 'Looking For Eric' boasted a cast of well-loved local actors and comedians plus Eric Cantona as himself. It's already being touted as being the best Manchester film ever. Mancunian actors appeared in a whole host of Hollywood blockbusters whilst the year ended with the huge Guy Ritchie smash Sherlock Holmes, filmed in Manchester (although actually set in London).
2,580 members nominated 14 different movies with the final result being...

WINNER ~ Slumdog Millionaire ~
Radcliffe Director Danny Boyle's heartwarming Indian tale scooped 8 Oscars, 7 Baftas and 4 Golden Globes so it's probably no surprise it clearly won the award for Best Movie with a Manchester connection. This gorgeous rush of colour, sound and motion is Boyle at his best.
The story follows a street kid who has landed an appearance on India's version of 'Who Want To Be A Millionaire?' and goes on to exceed expectations, the producers alerting the police after they become suspicious of his methods. Danny Boyle's masterpiece takes us on the dark but cheery story of how he knew the answers, highlighting the terrible poverty of Mumbai in the process.
