Best films of 2008

December 10th, 2008

2008 is coming to a close and there have been 965 movies released to date. But which ones did we like and which ones did we hate.

The Times have collated their top 100 best films of 2008. Their top 5 are:

The Dark Knight
Gomorrah
Man On Wire
There Will Be Blood
Time and Winds

When the new Batman film, The Dark Knight, was released in July 2008 it broke box office records on its first weekend in the US cinemas. The BBC website reported that it made 155 million dollars in US cinemas, surpassing a record set last year by Spiderman 3. The film received mixed reviews with some people loving it and praising the performance of Heath Ledger as The Joker who sadly died in January 2008, but others found it a bit too dark and serious. I personally loved it and The Joker stole the show for me.

So what were your top movies of 2008? Did they make you laugh, cry or just entertain you?
