20 Best Films I Saw In 2008

I’m excluding 2008 releases because they will show up on my top ten, probably in a few months, and 2007 releases because they were on my top ten of 2007.  I didn’t keep track of all the films I watched this year, so this is based on a combination of my Netflix history and memory.  It’s possible some slipped through the cracks.  They are listed in alphabetical order.  Format stolen from Rouge.
