Re: Best movies of 2008
 

I agree and disagree with your choices, In Bruges is a fantastic movie and one of the very best of 2008.

Documentaries are my favorite category of film and I agree Man on Wire had multiple lessons on life, that dude "Philippe Petit" also set the record straight on the special features of the DVD... as far as any dramatic license director James Marsh took in the film. Beautiful film.

It's impossible, that's sure. So let's start working.

Frozen River
The Visitor

Wall*E
The Wrestler (tie, probably)

The Dark Knight
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk
Doubt
Frost/Nixon
Iron Man
