Is it just me, or was 2008 a kick ass year when it comes to movies?

I mean look at what we had this year.

Changeling
Cloverfield
Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The
Dark Knight, The
Doubt
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
Frost/Nixon
Gran Torino
Gomorra
Hellboy II
Hunger
In Bruges
Iron Man
Kung Fu Panda
Man on Wire
Milk
Let the Right One In (Låt den rätte komma in)
Revolutionary Road
Slumdog Millionaire
WALL·E
Waltz with Bashir
Wrestler, The

I'm sure i forgot a few.

I remember at the beginning at the year when the 2008 press previews started to come in from the various studios, I thought the end of the year looked a little weak, but that most have been because of limited information at the time, cause I've been watching a lot of great movies lately.

Looking back at 2008 I'm also quite impressed by how crappy pretty much everything Fox has released has been. Apparently everything that goes through there hands turns into shit.

Here's what they have released and their rating on Imdb (the moment this was written)

27 Dresses (6.2)
Meet the Spartans (2.4)
Jumper (5.9)
Horton Hears a Who! (7.3)
Shutter (4.8)
What Happens in Vegas (5.9)
Deception (5.8)
The Happening (5.3)
Meet Dave (4.5)
Space Chimps (4.2)
The X Files: I Want to Believe (6.0)
Babylon A.D. (5.3)
Max Payne (5.6)
Australia (7.2)
The Day the Earth Stood Still (5.7)

A nice average of 5.48

Compare that to Fox Searchlight

Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna) (7.5)
Young@heart (7.9)
Street Kings (7.1)
Choke (7.2)
The Secret Life of Bees (6.8)
Slumdog Millionaire (8.7)
The Wrestler (8.7)

Average 7.7

You try and take my Watchmen away from me, I know you will fuck up Wolverine, If you take away my Avatar I will end you.

In conclusion Wall•e rules, Fox sucks and Indy got raped :)
