No Slumdog Millionaire on Lemire's list! I liked the movie a lot, I really did, but I don't think it's the best picture of the year and it's nice to see someone agree with me. Granted, The Dark Knight is also off her list, but Iron Man is, so it's all good.
Which two films do all three lists have in common? Wall-E & The Wrestler, neither of which have been pegged as locks for a Best Pic nod come Oscar time. But it's beginning to look more and more like these two may sneak in at the end, edging out fare like Frost/Nixon, The Dark Knight & possibly Milk, if the Golden Globes are any indication.
More best of 2008 lists to be posted as they come in. LQ loves herself some Oscar watch.

iron man is a fine movie and all and an ocassionally rousing entertainment, but seriously - if you think it's one of the ten best movies of the year you're either off your face on silly meds or only saw 10 movies this year. word to your mother.
