Top Ten 2008

Greetings. It has been far too long since I have written about any films. I have seen a few really great movies lately, and a lot of not so great ones. That being said, I felt it was finally time to put out my list of the best films of last year, only 6 months late. So here we go. These were the films that moved me, taught me how to see the world, and showed me truth and redemption. Or just made me laugh my butt off. It's not 10, it's 15, I can count, don't worry.

15. Traitor


14. Pineapple Express


13. Frost/Nixon


12. Man On Wire


11. Wall-E


10. Frozen River


9. Revolutionary Road

8. Blindness


7. Rachel Getting Married


6. The Wrestler


5. Doubt


4. Gran Torino


3. Slumdog Millionaire


2. Synechdoche, New York


1. The Dark Knight


Ta Da. Overall, not a great year, but not a slouch either. A solid year for great films.
