Heffie is a bad movie fan in 2008

[thehefner]

I tried thinking up a "Heffie's Top Ten Films of 2008!" list, until I realized that I couldn't come up with enough.

Not that it was a bad year, but when you consider that I haven't yet seen THE WRESTLER, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, MISTER LONELY, THE STRANGERS, REPRISE, STUCK, HAPPY GO LUCKY, STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE, THE FALL, IN BRUGES, MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS, REDBELT, MILK, SURFWISE, WENDY AND LUCY, MAN ON WIRE, RACHEL GETTING MARRIED, 4 MONTHS 3 WEEKS AND 2 DAYS, PARANOID PARK, KUNG-FU PANDA, and SYNEDOCHE, NEW YORK... heck, it's no wonder I can't even crack a list of more than five.

And I'm not even counting THE DARK KNIGHT. That shit's disqualified as a special case.

Crimminy. Maybe I need to do a marathon of whatever's playing in town. Priority films are THE WRESTLER and SYNEDOCHE, NEW YORK, followed by RACHEL GETTING MARRIED, SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, IN BRUGES, and MAN ON WIRE, but most I'll have to wait and Netflix when I get back (and others I've listed haven't even gotten wide release yet!)

Any must-see suggestions, folks?



Edit: here's more as I think of them--[REC], JCVD, TIMECRIMES, OPERATION FILMMAKER, QUANTUM OF SOLACE, ZACK AND MIRI MAKE A PORNO, FROST/NIXON
