Favorite Movie of 2008

In lieu of SS's Fav songs of 2008 thread, I figured I'd start one dedicated to movies. I think it was a pretty good year overall.

My top 3 I can think of right now is (in random order):

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Twilight
The Dark Knight

DK... nothing else even close.

I really enjoyed Get Smart.

I watch a ton of movies but i cant think of what my favorite is,one I enjoyed the most recently was Eagle Eye,I liked it better than Dark Knight

Gran Torino, Happy Go Lucky, Chop Shop, and DK are a few that come to mind.

Yea yea. I'm goin' all girly and saying Sex and the City. *shrug* :D

dknemo how was gran torino? its on my list to see

Iron Man, I loved the way that Robert Downy Jr. played Tony Stark. Tony Stark is a character that I could associate with if I were rich, playboy, superhero with a power core buried in my chest. Seriously though, I loved the characters attitude, demeanor, and mannerisms.

While Dark Night was great, I feel that too many people give it too much credit because of Ledger's performance and the fact that he died shortly afterward. I am not trying to take anything away from the Dark Night or Heath Ledger it was number 2 on my list.

Ultimately, while neither film comes remotely close to reality, I had an easier time believing the story line behind Iron Man than the one in the Dark Night. On one hand you have a weapons Engineer that creates a kick ass robotic suit versus a billionaire that dresses up like a bat and hunts down a criminal that performs crimes right out in the open and doesn’t get caught.

Just my opinion.

1 Dark Knight hands down. iwon'0t get into why is thebest but it has so much depth and value behing the main story (and no I'm not talking about heath).

2.- Iron Man great movie

3.- Burn after Reading funny dark comedy

4.- Body of lies

Foot Fist Way, nails the Strip Mall-Fu perfectly.
