This isn’t necessarily a list of movies that came out in 2008. Just ones I’ve enjoyed watching.
Any must see movies I’ve missed off that you’d recommend?

Burn After Reading
I enjoyed watching ‘Gone Baby Gone’, on DVD. It was due for cinema release, but the topic was too sensitive due to the Maddie McCann (sp?) similarities.
Recommended.
In Bruges was definitely up there on my list, but I was sorely dissapointed with the lack of recognition it got. It deserved much more/
I watched “Gone Baby Gone” this evening but I wasn’t that impressed. It felt more like a long episode of a TV cop show rather than a movie. The dialogue was a little too cheesy, the story line a little too convoluted and the lead characters a bit too attractive to be believable.
some are older than a year but I only got to see them in the last few months
Tropa de Elite
Regarde-moi
Méche blanche, les aventures du petit castor
Bikur Ha-Tizmoret
Encounters at the End of the World
Kunsten å tenke negativt
The Bank Job

Good list - definitely missing Atonement though - best movie of 2007 imho.
Check out “Let the Right One In”. Awesome Swedish vampire movie that came out this year.
OK - I’m going to say this now but I really really did not get In Bruges at all.
I thought it was slow, drab and depressing. This is even more surprising when people were sure that I would like it.
What did I miss?!!?!

Burn after reading
Yes I agree Burn After Reading is high on my list. But what about “Choke” - I strangely enjoyed that.
The other on was “Eden Lake” What a thrilling and scary original film.
“Michael Clayton” - Another one!
“Funny Games” The remake of this was also fricking awsome! -
Sorry, getting way to excited. :D I love my films.
Happy New Year btw Andy.
Milk
The Wrestler
…Benjamin Button
Wall-E
Into the Wild
‘Slumdog Millionaire’ is amazing.
I gotta pass on Sukiyaki Western Django, a Tarantino-style spaghetti western.

I’d recommend Flashbacks Of A Fool and Into The Wild if you haven’t seen them already.
I haven’t heard of a few titles you listed above. A couple of them looks interesting (2 Days in Paris and Tell No One).
Ps: You meant Dark Knight, right? ;-)
