When you compare $18 (for two) to $1, it’s a pretty easy choice. And that’s why, when I sat down to make my list of “favorite movies of 2008,” I ended up with a list of “favorite movies of 2007 and 2008.”And then I realized, as I searched my blog for my recent movies reviews, that if you wanted to hear about the movies I watched this last year, you could do the same thing.
So I’ll keep it brief. The best movies I saw in 2008 were Definitely, Maybe, 21, Juno, Mamma Mia, Dan in Real Life, Waitress and Hairspray. And I won’t lie. I also quite enjoyed Made of Honor, 27 Dresses, Fool’s Gold, Enchanted, Ratatouille and What Happens in Vegas.
Now, on to a more interesting list (I hope): the movies of 2008 that I haven’t seen, but want to. And again, this is more a list of movies from the past couple of years, since I typically wait until they’re out on video. In no particular order, I’d like to see…
- Rachel Getting Married
- Burn After Reading
- Wall-E
- The Dark Knight
- Iron Man
- Hancock
- Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2
- This Christmas
- Nothing Like the Holidays
- Michael Clayton
- Eagle Eye (we’re renting this over the weekend)
What were your favorite movies of the last year? What movies would you still like to see?
