THE GREAT ERA IN HOLLYWOOD FILIM INDUSTRY-2008

Make no mistake, 2008 was one of the best years ever in total number of quality films released. These are the 31 films from that year that we’ve reviewed thus far [06.06.10], each links to our review at 1000 Dvds to See. These are all worth seeing, and theOscars® should have been expanded to 10 best films in 2008 (2009 was too late), because those left off the ballot for picture (In Bruges, The Visitor, Wall-E, The Dark Knight, Gran Torino, A Wednesday, Star Trek, Revolutionary Road) were as good as those nominated (Benjamin Button, Frost-Nixon, Milk, The Reader, Slumdog Millionaire). If you include John Adams for tv, there were also some great documentaries: The Memory Loss Tapes (for HBO), Where In the World Is Osama Bin Laden?, and Man on Wire, and docudramas: Che, Milk, Frost-Nixon, Valkyrie. This was a great year for non-fiction.
