Check out some of the best movies, from their movie genre, of 2008.
1.Thriller: Let The Right One In
The Swedes make a movie about vampires that is unlike any other. The film is beautifully done.
2. Romance: Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This could possibly be one of the best movies of the year. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett are amazing.
3. Drama: Elegy
An Isabel Coixet film where the idea of independent manhood is questioned by a sexual relationship gone serious.
4. Comedy: Hamlet 2
Seriously one of the funniest, most sacrilegious movies of 2008. Steve Coogan, who plays Dana Marschz the struggling drama teacher, is a master at playing awkward.
5. Action: The Dark Knight
Heath Ledger gives a performance that will leave you with chills; he was the best Joker in Batman history (sorry Jack). Aside from Christian Bales strange “Batman voice” the movie is a hit, certainly worth a place in your home theater collection.
6. Animated: Wall-E
I never thought an animated movie could be so incredibly moving. Wall-E tells one of the best love stories of 2008. With little words and amazing animation it is by far one of the best films from 2008.
7. Foreign: The Counterfeiters
It is a powerful film about a group of men in a concentration camp during World War II. Based on the true story of the largest counterfeit project in the world to date.
8. Documentary: Man on Wire
The gripping tale of a man who wants to walk between the twin towers in the air. Phillipe Petit tells us about his amazing journey.
