“2008 Films: In the Face of Loss, Celebrating Ties That Bind”

One of my favorite movie critics, the NY Times A.O. Scott weighs in with his overview of this year’s movies. There are a lot of these type of lists at the end of the year and I’ll be posting some of what I think are the most important. Scott is definitely worth reading. Here’s his list of favorite movies in 2008:

WALL-E

SILENT LIGHT

THE SECRET OF THE GRAIN

MAN ON WIRE

THE EDGE OF HEAVEN

HAPPY-GO-LUCKY

WENDY AND LUCY

MILK

RACHEL GETTING MARRIED

CADILLAC RECORDS

How about your list?

  1. From what I’ve seen…

    The Dark Knight
    WALL-E
    Step Brothers
    Forgetting Sarah Marshall
    Cloverfield
    Iron Man
    Sweeney Todd

    …and I’m sure many more that I’m forgetting :D It’s always hard to remember the ones from before May, too.

  2. Haven’t seen enough of the offerings to comprise an educated list. Planning on seeing “Slumdog Millionare” this weekend and one other flick, as I got a Regal movie card for Christmass.

    DID see “Quantum of Solace” yesterday after my dad turned in an Avon ticket good at Regal theatre where the show was being disconitued after Christamss eve. Had the whole theatre to ourselves, and gosh how that movie STUNK. Only redeaming quality was that Olga K., Bond girl. I gotta get me one of those! (Maybe next Christmas — now that I know what I want)
