It seems to me that everyone either love There Will Be Blood and Thought No Country For Old Men was overrated or loved No Country For Old Men and thought There Will Be Blood was overrated.

...I'm with the There Will Be Blood kids. I thought it was great, and never got what was so special about No Country.


as for my top 5 of 2008:

1. In Bruges
2. Burn After Reading
3. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
4. The Dark Knight
5. Forgetting Sarah Marshall


Unfortunately I still havent seen Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, or Gran Torino yet. All of which I've been really looking forward to.

Gran Torino is worth seeing asap^^

I've heard as much, but usually no one is interested in seeing movies that I want to see, and I don't like going to movies alone =(

I loved There Will Be Blood and No Country. But if forced Daniel Day Lewis makes the difference (and PTA is a genius)
Screw 2008. Not half of 2007.
But Dark Knight, Pineapple Express, In Bruges, Burn After Reading, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Iron Man were all solid.
But i know what my favorites for this year will be
Where The Wild Things Are
Inglorious Basterds
500 Days of Summer
The Half Blood Prince
The Rum Diary (if it comes out in time)
Public Enemies and Watchmen.

I used to see a lot more movies before my kid was born....

I've seen 5 '08 movies

Three pretty damn great movies:
Wall-E
Tropic Thunder (saw this tonight...its actually a pretty sophisticated movei!)
Dark Knight

1 OK movie: Burn After Reading (fun Brad Pitt stuff, last scene/CIA guy was great)

1 really, really horrible movie: Benjamin Button (please return this three hours of my life. I love Brad Pitt, but his nomination is an even bigger joke than is typical for the Oscars)

[ish420]

Havent seen everything...but so far:

1. Che
2. The Wrestler
3. Slumdog Millionaire
4. Gran Torino
5. Religulous

Honorable Mention: Dark Knight (based only on Heath Ledger's performance)

[ish420]

Worst of the year:

1. Benjamin Boring----love the director but this sucked
2. Burn After Reading---turned it off after 25 minutes

[Airline]

Burn After Reading is good. Not No Country or anything, but really funny performances by Malkovich, Jenkins, Pitt, and Clooney.
