A Unique Perspective On The Best Movies Released In 2008

By Lowery Johnston

What are the best movies worth seeing that were made in 2008? Even though the question is very straightforward, it all depends on your genre preference. The movie industry produced a series of blockbuster hits that filled the seats at movie theaters with hundreds of thousands of seat in movie theaters all across the country.

People in general love to watch movies. Video Business once published a series of statistics that indicated the average American views at least seven movies each month. Most of these movies are watched on DVD or as a download from their cable provider.

What is really interesting is that Hollywood released over 500 different movies and films in the year 2009. While many of these titles are totally unbeknown to the average blockbuster movie watcher, they were enjoyed by people that favored special interest films such as those who love watching sequels which are reproductions of English-language films.

Towards the close of the 2008 year, movie critics from all over the globe scrambled to sum up the best movies for the calendar year. Hundreds of movies were reviewed and critiqued. How did I sum up the films for 2008? Personally, I stayed away from movies that focused on depression and sadness. While they make for good drama, very often they leave the viewer feeling somewhat empty and depressed.

Personally, I love to watch movies that invoke a deep sense of suspense or a good action movie. These types of movies seem to take you away from the everyday cares of life while projecting you into a fictitious world of entertaining possibilities. They are a wonderful source for entertainment.

Was 2008 a good year for the movie industry? This is not an easy question to answer. For some it was a horrible year while others enjoyed one dynamic film after another.

There's almost never a satisfying way to sum up a year of movies, particularly when you're just emerging from that year and still trying to analyze the importance of all the big hits or, perhaps more accurately, the lack of significance.

So what kind of movies did you enjoy in 2008? I am sure you found the time to entertain yourself and the family with movies that made you feel good inside. My personal favorites were as follows: Wanted, Tropic Thunder, Slumdog Millionaire, Burn After Reading, The Visitor, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Gran Torino, WALL-E, Iron Man and The Dark Knight. If you have never seen any of these, I suggest you rent them at your local video store. You will love the entertainment value they bring to your world of movie indulgent. - 18758
