Elegy is on my imaginary list I'm not compiling.

There's a lot of movies I suspect would make my list, but I haven't had a chance to see them yet.

[Libaax]

1. Wall-E - by far the best Pixar has done and near pefect. I saw the dvd recenly and i thought it was just hype before :P
2. Iron Man - much more fun than TDK's Joker lovefeast...
3. The Dark Knight
4. In Bruges - great dark humor and Fiennes killed me !
5. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
6. The Bank Job
7. There Will be Blood - good movie but nothing special without DDL.
8. Hancock
9. Hellboy II - big Hellboy fan but this one looked good but lacked story. Plus lame love story..
10.Kung Fu Panda


Worst movie list :

1. Max Payne - horrible story and not even decent action.
2. Street Kings - i watched for Whitaker,Laurie and they were ruined by classic Keanu....

[the goddamn batman]

7. There Will be Blood - good movie but nothing special without DDL.


Also, it came out in 2007.

[The Zapper]

The Dark Knight
Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

[Libaax]

Also, it came out in 2007.

It came here december 2007 and was on the cinema over here more than 4 months and i saw the dvd when it came in the spring.

[Shadowfax32]

1. Milk
2. The Wrestler
3 The Curious Case of Ben Button
4. In Bruges
5. Doubt
6. Iron Man
7. The Dark Knight
8. Hellboy II
9. The Reader
10. The Visitor

[the goddamn batman]

It came here december 2007 and was on the cinema over here more than 4 months and i saw the dvd when it came in the spring.

I'm just saying, it's not a 2008 movie. The Assassination of Jesse James isn't either actually. I didn't realize that. Strike that from my imaginary list I'm not compiling.

[ghostrider666]

The top 5 I saw at the movies in 2K8 were:

1) Iron Man
2) Dark Knight
3) Rambo
4) Sweeney Todd (released in 2K7 I know)
5) Zack & Miri Make a Porno

There's a lot of movies I suspect would make my list, but I haven't had a chance to see them yet.

........yeah , need to make a best of 2008 - released on dvd in 2009 list - cus i like making dumb lists

[Libaax]

I'm just saying, it's not a 2008 movie. The Assassination of Jesse James isn't either actually. I didn't realize that. Strike that from my imaginary list I'm not compiling.


I know that too but im talking about movies i saw in 2008 in my list.

I dont go the cinema as often as before. I have missed the good ones like Blood,Jesse James movie cause there is too many lame hollywood ones in the cinema that cut down my several times a month trip to almost nothing.


Wall- E i seriously regret missing in the cinema. Also lame how it was barely two months in the cinema over here. It made alot of money too.

[JDogindy]

.......top ten whatever - man you saw all those crappy movies ?

worse ones i re call were wanted , speed racer , the hulk , indiana jones and doomsday

I didn't really see ALL of those crapfests, and I didn't want to. They all sucked, and here's why:

The Love Guru: The problem with this movie was that it was all Mike Myers, all the time. He appears everywhere, and even when he is not there in person, his influence is present. Also, there aren't that many good jokes.

An American Carol: It's not to say that you CAN'T make fun of Michael Moore and liberals, but don't let conservatives do the joke-making, since they seem to focus more on trashing them than actually trying to make a joke. Also, if David Zucker hadn't been disgraced for helping out with the Scary Movie films, this one should've been it.

Meet the Spartans/Disaster Movie: TWO Seltzerberg movies?! All you have to hear is "Seltzerberg", and you don't need much to believe that their films have random sequences not relating to the movie's basic premise and Carmen Electra.

Street Kings: Every generic cop film was processed to make this one, and the casting wasn't good, either.

Space Chimps: The anti-WALL-E. It just shows how CGI is rampant, and how crappy most non-Pixar movies are. Don't base your main character as someone who doesn't want to do anything at all.

Meet Dave: This kinda made me sad, since I'm a fan of MST3K (Bill Corbett, the guy who did the Sci-Fi era Crow and Observer, co-wrote this movie), but it just wasn't good.

The Hottie and the Nottie: I know movies try to send messages, just don't send them by using Paris Hilton as a person who is friends with a butt-ugly person.

Swing Vote: An "Every Vote Counts" advertisment in 80 minutes. The message was there, but the whole premise was probably made to try to enforce that message.

College: A really crappy movie, full of crap everywhere. 'Nuff said.

Doomsday wasn't that good of a film, either, but I thought that they improved on the Hulk a bit by giving him more of a backstory (him trying to control the alterego and facing Abomination instead of Hulk vs. the Army throughout the movie like in the last one) and Indiana Jones wasn't THAT bad.
