88 minutes, Don't Mess with Zohan, and Harold and Kumar are not bad movies. Not great movies (although Zohan is good), but Disaster Movie? C'mon… Adam Sandler and Al Pacino at least don't torture. Otherwise, this list is fairly predictable.

I agree that "Felon" should be no.1 outstanding film with outstanding acting!

they forgot to mention 'Felon' (9/10) as overall i think that's the film to beat of 2008 cause it did not need a big budget to be GREAT unlike 'The Dark Knight' (9/10)

i think those two films are the best of 2008 … cause i think Felon easily beats a good percentage of the ones he listed in his 'best of 2008' stuff

I can't believe he placed "Gran Torino" over "Milk" and "Frost/Nixon".

Gran Torino, to me was an OK film, the high point was def. Eastwood's performance. But other than that "Gran Torino" had many flaws. Besides for Eastwood, the acting wasn't so good, especially the Gang members, they were really bad actors. Well, at least I think so.

And the story takes so long to progresses, I thought a big part of the film contains irrelevant and unimportant scenes that barely moved the story along.

I did how ever like the ending, at least theres that.

@William: Well, of course it's not horrible, I'm sure it's better than most of the garbage these days. But I meant "bad" compared to the best movies of the year.

@Jerzey Jon: I'm sure it isn't neither, especially since it's still in contention for the GG's at least.

@William: Lol, Revolutionary Road is always left out. Geez, it can't be that bad.

3 out of his top 4 are my top 3 favorites so far this year (all except The Wrestler, which I haven't seen yet) so I would say I agree with his list.

Oh, and I just noticed that Revolutionary Road was left out again.

I needed a little cheering up after the crippling past two days.
