I like the mainstream as much as anyone, but this year was definitely a good read for independent films.
10. Adam Resurrected
I can’t call it a memorable film, but it wasn’t a bad film either.
9. Hamlet 2
It did show some promise, but in the end it will only be remembered for “Rock Me, Sexy Jesus”.
8. Real Time
An enjoyable Canadian comedy.
7. In Bruges
A wonderful little film that put the small town in Belgium on the map.
6. The Wackness
A decent coming of age story.
5. Synecdoche, New York
It made hardly any sense, but it was still compelling.
4. Happy-Go-Lucky
A great little British film.
3. JCVD
Never has Jean-Claude Van Damme seemed so vulnerable.
2. Slumdog Millionaire
The film was almost magical.
1. Pontypool
Yes, the Canadian Zombie film was THAT good (too me anyway).
Tomorrow, I post my top ten films of 2008!
