Top Ten of the Top Ten
Awards Daily — ... Movie City News has collected the most comprehensive list of top tens anywhere on the web.  No one even bothers competing with them on this because they do it so well.  Here is how it’s shaking down so far.  They score them in order of where they are on the lists but include how many times the films are mentioned. ...

2008 IN REVIEW: The Lists of Others
All these wonderful things — Next week, we'll be unveiling our own list of our favorite nonfiction films of the year, which puts us squarely behind the curve with most folks, who have been revealing their own picks since early this month.  Call us lazy or old-fashioned, we like to wait for the year to actually end before we go full-bore, but we've still been checking out everyone else's notations and there are several worth noting for the record. Two year-end recaps have been indispensable (indefatigable) - indieWIRE's annual Critics Poll ...

Awards Daily — ... during last night’s Los Angeles Film Critics Awards.  Good quote, coming a bit late in the race.  Wall-E currently sits at number one, the highest rated film of 2008. ...

Best Pic: Sweating the Dark Knight
Awards Daily — ... a game, a snapshot in time that lives, breathes, writhes, flows, evolves and ultimately finds itself stuck in hardening amber for all time, only to be picked up years later and looked at with bemusement.  Whether the BAFTA or the AMPAS believed that The Dark Knight is “best picture material” or not, cannot and will not change the inescapable truth that it is  better than most of the other films released this year.  That landed it at number 2, behind only Wall-E, on MCN’s collection of 100 top ten lists. ...

The Five Films That SHOULD Have Been Nominated for Best Picture Oscars
Row Three — [image] A lright, so maybe right off the bat this is a stupid article as everyone (including the thousands of Academy voters) will look at a collective group of films (hundreds released in 2008) and each would pick five different films that they think should be up for best picture. So yeah, to say THESE are THE five films that should’ve been nominated might sound pretentious and/or ignoramous; but bear with me here. Like most internet pundits/readers/trollers, I was baffled by some of the choices that were nominated for best picture at the Oscars this year. Let’s put all of the other major categories aside as they can be debated endlessly and ...

Movies Of The Year: 2008 (Part Two)
The End Of Cinema — ... Finally, here is my end of the year list for 2008. This list is for comparative purposes, so I've included (and italicized) all those films from earlier years that made it to US theatres for the first time in 2008. My actual 2008 list (to be found at ...
