While I always enjoy his performances, Clint Eastwood in Grand Torino plays the same character he's made his stock in trade the last 8 or 9 years. Interesting but among the top 4 of the year? I don't think so. I’m surprised that Richard Jenkins, who gave an amazing, heartwrenching, star-making turn as Walter Vale didn’t make your list of Best Actor candidates.

I think it's amazing, and the post is great. Great choices, though I haven't seen all the movies, but I've read reviews and seen trailers, so I have an idea of what you're talking about. I'm from Peru and movies usually come a bit delayed. We don't have a good web site or blog here to discuss movies, so I'm exited I've found this one. Thanks and great choices!

I agree it was funny, but the antics got old pretty fast. There wasn't even that mush originality involved. Though, Ferrell & Reilly are a good team, it left me wanting/expecting more. Maybe the winner for most use of the "F" word maybe, but the best use was "Role Models." Now, easily, my Best 2008 Comedy pick goes to "Tropic Thunder." Robert Downey; Jr. was totally awesome and Tom Cruise was a complete gut busting surprise!!! Honorable pick for me, no one had seemed to mention, would have to be, "Ghost Town." Why? Well, Ricky Gervais has the the great skill at being annoyed without even trying. Reminds me of how Woody Allen was skilled at being frantic. It just comes natural to them. Gervais should be recognized for that and hopefully he will have more films out. Again, "Ghost Town" wasn't the Best Comedy, but should definitely be on the Best Comedies list for this year. Oh, and I forgot to mention... John, what is your fixation on the movie, "Wanted?" It did have some cool effects and decent plot, but really the only reason most of us went out to see it was because of Angelina Jolie. With all of the other great movies out this year, "Wanted" should have been left off your Best Of list. Ok, I really don’t understand how “Step Brothers” was selected as this years Best Comedy.

Of course James Franco was charming but that was about it. And Vicky Christina Barcelona would not be on my list either. Penélope Cruz was as annoying as she useally is....I just wanted her to stop talking. Screaming in a foreign language is not acting. And Definitely, Maybe... not list worthy either. It was okay. Just okay. And I like Ryan Renolds and I am waiting for the vehicle that really does him some justice. That film was not the one. I like his performance better in Fireflies in the Garden....a better film. And 'Let the right One In' was not on your list at all. A is a superb film. My pick for the best film of the year. I was impresssed on many levels. I agree with The Rake about Pineapple Express – it made no impression on me at all. Of course James Franco was charming but that was about it.

And I never thought that would happen. Wall E is not only the best film of this year, it is now on my ten best films list of all time.

I was happy to see Rebecca Hall acknowledged, as I thought she was the stir the swirled the pot in Vicky Cristina. A great, under the radar performance. I have to strongly disagree with Definitely, Maybe though. A good opportunity missed. A hokey film with absolutely no chemistry whatsoever between the leads. We'll be hosting our list soon, but you can be sure that you won't see Pineapple Express anywhere on a good list. That has been the worst film/greatest disappointment I have seen this year.
