Films Of The Year - 2008

[Scott_M]

Again, like the albums thread, I'm surprised there isn't a thread for this already:

 

I'm going to go for top 3's on this:

 

1) No Country For Old Men (technically 2008 as wasn't released here till January)

2) The Dark Knight

3) Iron Man

[Mendoza]

No Country

Dark Knight

In Bruges

[Karl_b]

1) No Country For Old Men

2) Gone Baby, Gone. I know this was delayed but it was still released in the UK this year.

3) The Dark Knight.

 

Probably obvious choices, but good ones.

 

Special mentions also to Wall-E, Cloverfield and Redbelt; I still want to see Burn After Reading, Waltz with Bashir and The Wrestler too.

[Cosmos]

Last week of 2007 wasn't it?

 

I could have sworn I saw it was early this year, I remember fucking everyone off by calling them bastards in baskets every other sentence.

 

 

 

 

Edit: i'm right, I just drank your milkshake.

[Karl_b]

So there's not a chance that it came out in the last week of December and you saw it in January?

 

I'm finished!

And that Indy IV won't be.

[Acid]

Dark knight

[Juniper]

The Wrestler. Saw another screening of this tonight and it's the best movie I've seen this year. Not just because I'm a wrestling fan, but also because I'm a wrestling fan. Just brilliant. Rourke for Best Actor.

 

No surprise there

(to be fair though, I've read the reviews and it's supposed to be very, very good)

 

1. The Dark Knight

2. In Bruges

3. Wall-E

[igor biscan]

1. Slumdog Millionaire

2. Dark Knight

3. In Bruges

[Thants]

Where the fuck have people seen Slumdog?

 

1) TWBB (yes you can include it as i never featured in top 10s last year, same goes for . . .

2) NCFOM

3) TDK (although Juno would be here as I only saw it this year - genius)

4-10 to follow betcha cant wait

Right, having watched TDK again the other night it's gone down to 8. The complete lack of emotion is almost balanced by the action and Ledger, but not enough.

 

1 There Will Be Blood (Technically TWWB is this years film as it was released late December. A stunning stunning film)

2 No Country for Old Men

2 Man on Wire

4. Orphanage, The

5 I've Loved You So Long

6 In Bruges

7 Lars and the Real Girl

8 Batman: Dark Knight

9 Son of Rambow

10 Mist, The

 

Not seen Gomorrah, Mongol, The Christmas Tale, Gonzo, Hunger.

[Soleilrouge]

1. I've loved you so long

2. In Bruges

2. No country for old men

[rondeco]

Dark Knight

No country

In Bruges

 

but not in that order

[grazywalker]

In Bruges

Mostly because I did not expect much from it but it was just brilliant .

Oh, and Roadhouse

[Elite]

No Country For Old Men (easily the best film this year.)

The Dark Knight (Amazing)

Burn After Reading

[odris]

Looks like i need to watch In Bruges.

 

TDK

Tropid Thunder

Zack and Miri.
