Misc: Best and Worst Films of 2008


THE BEST AND WORST FILMS OF 2008
Copyright 2009 Steve Rhodes

This past year (2008) was a bifurcated one when it came to the best films of
the year. While it was easy to find ten candidates for the best of the year
list, one stood out so much that the others paled in comparison.  I thought
Wall-E wasn't only the best film of 2008.  It was one of the best films ever
made. The rest of the films (numbers 2-10) on my best of the year list were
so close to being equal that I had trouble ordering them.

I had no trouble in ordering my films in the worst of the year list.
Although they were all stinkers, ranking them was no problem.

If you want to read my reviews, you can find over 3,300 of them at my web
site: InternetReviews.com.  I also maintain an email distribution list to
which I send out my new reviews.  Drop me a line at

line if you'd like to be added to the list.  It's free.
