Menlo Park’s top 10 movies for 2009

The New York Times has published a list of the top Netflix rentals for all of 2009 – by zip code! The article allows you to view the major U.S. metropolitan areas and see which movies were the most popular. You can also select a movie and see in which zip codes it was more popular than others. The article is a very well done example of geo-mapping data!

Here’s the list of top movies for Menlo Park’s 94025:

1. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
2. Slumdog Millionaire
3. Milk
4. Doubt
5. Burn After Reading
6. Changeling
7. Rachel Getting Married

My personal favorites from that list were Slumdog Millionaire and Frost/Nixon! How about you?
