Roger Ebert’s Best Films of 2008
The brilliant film critic Roger Ebert has just announced his Best Films of 2008. Please read his entire list at the link below — we agree with most. Was surprised by Iron Man (which we enjoyed, just surprised). We also scoured YouTube for all the movies mentioned on his list — and complied them below.
In these hard times, you deserve two “best films” lists for the price of one. It is therefore with joy that I list the 20 best films of 2008, in alphabetical order. I am violating the age-old custom that film critics announce the year’s 10 best films, but after years of such lists, I’ve had it. A best films list should be a celebration of wonderful films, not a chopping process. And 2008 was a great year for movies, even if many of them didn’t receive wide distribution. – read more from Roger Ebert
