Just like last year... I'll take all nominations for the best movies of 2008, then put them all into a poll we can vote on at the end of the year.

I've put a similar poll for BEST movies of 2008 on the "bad movies" board: http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,122513.0.html

"Bad" movies that you actually enjoyed tremendously should probably go there instead of here.

Direct-to-video/DVD releases are fair game if released in 2008.

I don't have a recommendation for worst movie of 2008... all the movies I saw in theaters were pretty good, and I didn't rent anything with a 2008 date this year.  What about you?

The Happening 

AVP R (It came out in January in the UK)
I really don't like those films.
And I really regret getting them on DVD

Waste of time and money. I still haven't finished AVP R.

SaW V. I enjoy saying I am one of the few Saw fans on this board, and with that in mind I believe part 5 was for the most part a lazy insult to series fans, not to mention probably utterly confuzzling and bland to series-newcomers XP .

Bangkok Dangerous was a f**king joke! It really p**sed me off. I hate Nicholas Cage and everything he stands for. So I'll throw my hat into the ring for that.

Also, Star Wars: The Clone Wars beat me senseless with its dumbed-down(!) dialogue, its shoddy animation, and its insistence to be kid-friendly. I was insulted by it masquerading as a movie when it was oh-so-obviously three episodes pasted together. You can't tape three people together and call them conjoined triplets! It's in ill taste to put something in theaters that wasn't made with cinematic quality or craft. Shame on you, Lucas. Shame.

Oh, and Funny Games. The original Austrian version was quite evocative. But that one was barely over 10 years old when the same director filmed a shot-for-shot remake with lame big-time actors (I'm looking at you, Naomi Watts...) What a waste of film.

Eddie Murphy's annual turd-burger, so 2008's would be Meet Dave... and it was even written by Bill Corbett! NOOOOOOOOOOO!

The Happening

I'll say The Happening as well being voted for the worst movie of 2008.  I didn't like it that much I felt it was too cheesy overall as a film.  I wouldn't be surprised if it gets a Razzie nomination.

I like the Saw franchise.  I don't think they should've killed off Strahm, the FBI agent.  I also didn't like the subplot with the game.  They should've just focused on Hoffman being the apprentice and showing you how he learned to play the game.

Dare I add INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL to this list?  maybe not one of the worst, but surely one of the most disappointing.

Definately the most disappointing IMO, I didn't even mind the 'aliens thing', I thought the idea of doing a plot based around ancient astronauts was intriguing but the sheer ramshackleness of the plot was shocking. I have to admit being in awe watching it simply because it was Indy on the big screen in my lifetime(!), but it didn't take long afterwards for my brain to point out too many nits to pick. It felt like they'd cut twenty minutes off the start, the a-bomb scene was cool, taking Indy 'I'm too old for this s**t' slapstick to the extreme but meant there was an hour of action left that just felt anticlimatic, then you have the simply stupid 'triple agent' subplot that bordered on parody and despite quite liking Indy Jr.... the monkeys! Plus countless more tiny thing. All in all it felt more like mastabatory nostalgia to the franchise smashed together with quick profit making than an addition to the series.

Anyway...

I heard only one thing about the Clone Wars that immediatley turned me off to  it.  Supposedly Anakin's padawan calls him "Sky Guy".

The only movie I saw in 08 was Prince Caspian and I enjoyed it.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
