Top 15 Films of 2008 (that I’ve seen, thus far)

peaceinvisible — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 09:46:47 +0000

Mind you, I’ve yet to see “Doubt”, “Frost/Nixon”, “The Reader”, “The Class”, “Elegy”, “Waltz with Bashir”, “Ballast”, “Man on Wire”, “The Visitor”, “Frozen River”, “Che”, or any other highly anticipated festival winners. BUT, I’ll get to them soon enough, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this list changes a little…

THIS IS IN NO SPECIFIC ORDER

(they’re all winners)

Also: if you click on the posters, you’ll be linked to the film’s imdb page so you can read up if you don’t know about it.

Milk

The Wrestler

Rachel Getting Married

Synecdoche New York

Seven Pounds

Vicky Cristina Barcelona

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Slum Dog Millionaire

The Dark Knight

8 Miles High (Germany, 2007; USA, 2008)

In Bruges

Revolutionary Road

Wall-E

Funny Games

Defiance

I suggest these films as good examples of what sums up 2008′s top efforts in performance, direction, writing, cinematography, music, editing, effects, originality, and overall fit for critical cinema. This doesn’t mean that each of these films contain high marks for all of these categories, but each film has enough of at least a few for me to give proper kudos.

Let’s not read into it too much…I’m happy with it.

Our movie, DEFIANCE, closed the AFI Festival last night and here’s the main group (sans Daniel Craig, thanks to BOND) right before. It was a fantastic night for all of us and everything went so well. We had red carpet, fancy theater, after party, and lots of shmoozing with great food/drink. Ahhhhh…I love movies.

So, This is uh…what we’ve been doing at work for the past year. Ed Zwick (my bossman) wrote, produced, and directed this fine piece of work. It was shot last Fall in Lithuania.

Please go see it in NY and LA on December 31st, and everywhere on January 16th.

DEFIANCE stars Daniel Craig, Liev Schreiber, and Jamie Bell (yes, Billy Elliot).
