Best movie of 2008?

Ashide from the dark knight, you can choose it if you want but I think there are much better films this year. These are my top 5:) There are some more coming out this year, but not tons that look really interesting to me.

1. Slumdog Millionare

2.Let the right one in

3. In Bruges

4. Burn After reading

5. The Fall

Let The Right One In was awesome...I'll go with that one.jointed

You are the first person I have seen here who has actually seen that film. You should read the book too, its great.

[QUOTE="Film-Guy"][QUOTE="Sajedene"] Dude... I made a thread about it. I have it on DVD too :P And yes it is THE best movie of 2008 so far IMO.Sajedene

Where did you get the DVD?

Yeah, the film had a really distinct visual style. The whole thing with the gender confusion of Eli was done very well and it really showed that the relationship between the two characters didnt need to be sexual at all, they are two sides of the same character in a way. I hope this film gets nominated for an oscar this year, it deserves it. Best vampire film I have seen since Shadow of the vampire. Unfortunatly I doubt they will put the gender story in the remake, the director of the remake is the same guy who directed Cloverfield:(

Here is a really good interview with the director, I am really interested in seeing what he does next. Why the director of cloverfield was chosen to direct a beautiful film like this is a bit odd though. 

I don't know... Burn After Reading, I guess. And I happen to like my summer action movies. :xzakkro

So do I, but some action movies are done better than others:P

Dark Knight was a really good film, but not the best of the year imo. I would give it an 8.5, maybe a 9.

Awesome? Awesome?! How dare you slander its beautiful elegance with your silly word, "awesome." Pah! It was far beyond mere "awesome," scoffer.

How was Burn After Reading?

I might be going to see it with a friend in two weeks.

I never got to see it when it was in theaters...

Haven't seen any of those. From what I've heard, Burn After Reading sucked:?-Sniper99-

Who told you it sucked?

to everyone who said dark knight, read his first post. i pick prince caspianmastetofthedark

Since I've only seen a handful of movies, I'll have to go with The Dark Knight and Burn After Reading.  They're probably the only two worth mentioning that I've actually seen this year, although I really don't think TDK deserves the title.  I really want to watch "Let the Right One In".

I dont know if it is getting a wider release, I doubt it. Worth tracking down though.
