1) Slumdog Millionaire-Beautiful is the only way to describe Danny Boyle’s epic, Bollywood style film. It’s a film that will make you believe that fairy tales are possible and happy endings can exist even when all hope is lost. Corny, yes, but totally and utterly riveting.
2) W-ALLE- Don’t laugh. WALL-E isn’t just another kid’s movie, it’s a heart warming tale of an adorable robot saving humanity, and it will knock your socks off.
3) The Dark Knight-Despite the hype, The Dark Knight is all its cracked up to be. The IMAX filming and big time action shots were worth all of their scrupulous effort. And need I even mention the late Heath Ledger’s Joker?
4) Revolutionary Road- If Jack and Rose had made it off the Titanic, I hope their life wouldn’t have ended up this troubled. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet give tour-de-force performances that make this the year’s most gripping (and melancholy) drama.
5) MILK- Sean Penn has never been more fabulous, and James Franco has never looked so good kissing him. The politically charged bio-pic is full of heart, great performances, and a doctrine of tolerance that never comes of as preachy. Assassination never seemed so fun.
