| Favorite Movie of 2008 In lieu of SS's Fav songs of 2008 thread, I figured I'd start one dedicated to movies. I think it was a pretty good year overall. My top 3 I can think of right now is (in random order): The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Twilight The Dark Knight

| Re: Favorite Movie of 2008 Iron Man, I loved the way that Robert Downy Jr. played Tony Stark. Tony Stark is a character that I could associate with if I were rich, playboy, superhero with a power core buried in my chest. Seriously though, I loved the characters attitude, demeanor, and mannerisms. While Dark Night was great, I feel that too many people give it too much credit because of Ledger's performance and the fact that he died shortly afterward. I am not trying to take anything away from the Dark Night or Heath Ledger it was number 2 on my list. Ultimately, while neither film comes remotely close to reality, I had an easier time believing the story line behind Iron Man than the one in the Dark Night. On one hand you have a weapons Engineer that creates a kick ass robotic suit versus a billionaire that dresses up like a bat and hunts down a criminal that performs crimes right out in the open and doesn’t get caught. Just my opinion.

| Re: Favorite Movie of 2008 Stand out blockbuster: Dark Knight. A movie full of great actors - Morgan Freeman, Gary Oleman (sp), Batman's butler dude Alfred - and Ledger just put all of them under his shadow. It was actually pretty mesmerizing and that's coming from a guy who couldn't ever remember Heath Ledger's name/face prior to this movie. Sleeper of the year: Ghost Town. Saw it cause i'm a Ricky Gervais fan (oh yeah and I worship Karl Pilkington) and walked away thinking it was one of the best movie's of the year. Tia Leoni (sp) is excellent as is Greg Kinear.
