After over a week of non-stop updates and news straight out of Park City, Utah, the 2009 Sundance Film Festival has finally concluded. After jealously pouring over Twitter updates from other film bloggers, it looks like the news and conversation flow may finally be getting back to normal. Having said that, I couldn't go without calling some attention to the films that garnered some buzz or simply caught my attention. Without actually being at the fest, we can only speculate as to how good these films might be or read reviews from our fellow film bloggers who you can see linked at the left.

Below are 13 films that I'm most curious to check out in the coming months. But who knows how long before these films get a wider audience. We only recently premiered the poster and trailer for The Great Buck Howard a film that premiered at last year's Sundance. Some other films of note that we're interested in (that we've already covered) include 500 Days of Summer and Mary and Max. Anyway, check out the list below...Plot synopses provided courtesy of Netflix.
