The tie for Step Up 2: The Streets and Wall-E made me do a small involuntary chortle.

1. In Bruges
2. Waltz with Bashir
3. Let The Right One In
4. Wall-E
5. Son Of Rambow
6. Hellboy 2
7. Burn After Reading
8. Let´s Make Money
9. Speed Racer
10. Tropic Thunder

Yet to see/to be published over here: Synecdoche, New York, The Wrestler, Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Benjamin Button, Doubt, Man On Wire, Che, The Wackness....Damn, seeing that none of those have been published here so far I feel like living somewhere between Gaza and Trinidad Tobago. So given the eventual release of those this list might very well be nullified soon.

Honorable mentions: TDK, Rambo, Iron Man, Funny Games, Pineapple Express - And Recount! Though not eligible because it is a TV movie it is still one of the best of the year I have seen.

Shameful mentions: Indiana Jones 4, The Happening and Hancock.

It's nice to see that CRYSTAL SKULL's winding up on people's worst lists. I hate that movie more and more as time passes. Took a lot of flak for it but it's from mostly knuckledragging Talkbackers.

Yes Slumdog is insanely overhyped! A great 1st act but boy does it fall apart after that.

3. Slumdog Millionaire
4. The Wrestler
5. Gran Torino
6. Pineapple Express
7. Tropic Thunder
8. In Bruges

The most painful to sit through is a three-way tie between The Spirit, Mummy 3 and Indy 4. The Happening was worse than all but it was so damn funny, I'll let it off the hook.
