top 11 of 2008

in 2008 i saw 47 first-run feature films. nearly one per week - a good healthy filmgoing schedule. this past year was a particularly good one for film, i believe. so as i've done every year since 1992 - with great thought and effort - i present my top 11 favorite films of the year (in alphabetical order):

the curious case of benjamin button
the dark knight
doubt
frost/nixon
gran torino
milk
the reader
revolutionary road
slumdog millionaire
wall-e
the wrestler

all are excellent. get thee to a cinema!

Great choices Bill! I told you I would email you my top 10. But I still yet to see Milk and Frost/Nixon. So my list is temporarily being delayed. But I can already see our list are going to be very similar. We are related after all. LOL!
