What are your favourite films that have been released this year? I figure, with a month and a half to go and all of the games ones have been done, time for some movie fun. :) Also, if you think it's worth my tallying up, then I'm more than happy to do so.

My top films this year are:

In third place, it was probably 'Cloverfield'. I know this was a love/hate film, but I loved it. I've only seen it once and that was at a pretty decent cinema, and that probably had a significant effect on how good I thought it was. I loved the style and feel of the film, I did feel the tension they were trying to convey and I thought they did it really effectively. Also, damn that monster was scary. :eek: I actually felt a shiver everytime I saw it. :p A damn good watch, I have to say. :cool:


In second place, the awesomeness which was 'The Dark Knight'. As a lot of other people think, this was an absolutely astonishing film which superb acting, great plot, great script and everything about it was nigh on perfect. I loved loved LOVED it. Unfortunately, however, I judge how good a film is on how much I enjoyed watching it. Although I had a great time watching this film, there was another that I enjoyed considerably more..

In first place, beyond any shadow of a doubt, is 'Taken'. I don't know why I enjoyed this film so much.. I thought Liam Neeson was superb, but apart from him, there were few to no stand out performances. The action scenes were AWESOME with a capital everything, they just were so simple, yet so effective. I don't know of a film that has given me quite such an adrenaline rush when watching. It was just that every scene just had me going ":eek: I WANT MORE!!1 :eek:" Every scene was just unbelievably awesome... I just had such a great time sitting and watching the film, I didn't want it to end.

What were your favourites? :cool:
 
I would single out The Dark Knight and Wall-E for sure but I feel it's too early yet as there are lots of films to be released in 2008.

ones that stick out..


Cloverfield
Walle
Hancock (was kinda poor, but enjoyable)
Dark Knight
Ironman

Probably Cloverfield i'd pick out at the top, such an awesome cinematic experience

Horton Hears a Who was amazing too, thought it was going to be rubbish

I agree, Taken being the best film of the year.

Wall-e also very good
Quite enjoyed Eagle Eye, reminded me of another film though.
Iron Man
And The Incredible Hulk.
 
I don't know about a top 3 yet but 'In Bruges' will definitely be in there somewhere :)

Cloverfield I enjoyed, but I wouldn't watch it again.
 
In terms of surprises, I was expecting Iron Man to be rubbish.... boy how wrong was I :)

I completely forgot about In Bruges. I love the bit where he Karate chops that litttle fella!! :D

It's such a good film for many reasons. I think it'll have to go down as my favourite film of the year as I can't think of a better one atm.

Some great lines..

''They're filming midgets!''

"A war between the black midgets and white midgets?"

''He pauses, even though he should just hit the ****, and he repeats''
