The best movies of 2008

Well, isn't weird to not write anything for over four years and post two posts in one day? You may ask yourself why and I am going to tell you why. Just because I can!  

Here is my list of the best movies of the past year in no particular order.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button -  What a movie. Beautiful, Tragic,  and reminds us to savour the moment as nothing lasts forever.  An epic movie.

The Dark Knight - Crazy, Wild and tragic. Reminds us to savour the moment as nothing lasts forever.

Slumdog Millionaire - It is a weird mix but it is exciting, riveting and the unknow actors are true stars.

In Bruges - The movie that dictated where I wanted to spend my summer holiday. Beautiful city but the movie is better.

El Orfonato - It was from 2007 but I saw it this year. Scary and terribly sad.

Il y a longtemps que je t'aime - Kristen Scott Thomas is one of my favourite actresses. She is so wonderful in this movie that, even drab and understated, she absolutely lights up the screen. She would keep my interest reading the phonebook. 

Let the right one in - Atmospheric, sweet and horrible set in a drab Swedish Suburb. It captured my heart. 


I may add and change later.
