Over the next two months, the Independent's Cinema Drafthouse—where you to the Indy to drink and watch a movie instead of drink and watch music—will feature the venue's favorite flicks of 2009. Cinema Drafthouse: Best of 2009 Edition begins tonight with "The Hangover," the film that launched Zach Galifianakis from underground comedy and music video appearances to mainstream, box office success, even though most people probably still can't spell his name. The Best of 2009 moves on to Tarantino's "Inglourious Basterds" next Monday, followed by apartheid alien thriller "District 9" (1/18). After a week off, the series returns with "Paranormal Activity", the film that seems to have inspired a deluge of ghost-hunting shows (2/1), "Zombieland" with Woody Harrelson (2/8), and romantic comedy/drama"500 Days of Summer" starring Zooey Deschanel and the kid from "Third Rock from the Sun." Follow the Independent's calendar for changes and future dates. All Cinema Drafthouse nights are free but there's a 2 drink minimum.
