That time of year again... let's nominate the BEST movies of 2008

[Rev. Powell]

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.

"Bad" movies that you enjoyed tremendously should go here, too!

I've put a similar poll for WORST movies of 2008 on the "bad movies" board: http://www.badmovies.org/forum/index.php/topic,122512.0.html

My nomination is THE DARK KNIGHT (which I imagine will be nominated on the worst movies thread as well). 

[Doggett]

Lars and the Real Girl.
Hellboy 2 The Golden Army.
The Incredible Hulk.

[Rat-Bat-Spider]

I nominate The Fall, Slumdog Millionaire, Shotgun Stories (If you can find it playing anywhere), Milk, Happy-Go-Lucky, The Dark Knight, and The Fountain (which did not come out this year, but I will nominate it every year til it gets the respect it deserves! Urgh!)

And I had to put it in a separate paragraph for emphasis, but Rachel Getting Married is a Jonathan Demme masterpiece! Wonderful from start to finish! Check it out!!!

Wall-E is easily the best movie of 2008, so far as I'm concerned.

The Incredible Hulk

[AnubisVonMojo]

Surprised nobody's mentioned it yet, but Iron Man.

[Mr. DS]

Surprised nobody's mentioned it yet, but Iron Man.

I'll second that vote.  If this were the summer, I'd probably say The Dark Knight but after watching it the second time and realizing how it dragged on, I'd put it under Hellboy 2 at #3. 

[The Burgomaster]

* THE DARK KNIGHT

* BOLT (in 3-D)

Of course, I haven't seen what are probably the REAL best movies of 2008 (such as THE BOY IN STRIPED PAJAMAS and SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE), but they are on my list of "need to see" movies.

I didn't see any movies this year. 

[Andrew]

Wall-E is easily the best movie of 2008, so far as I'm concerned.

Out of the ones I've seen, I very much agree.

[Rattrap007]

Wall-E is easily the best movie of 2008, so far as I'm concerned.

Agreed. It damn well better be a winner at the oscars... Best movie I've seen in a long time..

[Doggett]

I got close to tears in certain scenes in WALL E.
But I still prefer Lars and the Real Girl

[Psycho Circus]

Rambo

[peter johnson]

In Bruges

Best written film in decades.  Love it.  Bought the script.

peter johnson/denny crane

[Doggett]

The Orphanage.

[indianasmith]

Good pick, Doggett!!  THE ORPHANAGE was really good.


But let's not forget AN AMERICAN CAROL
