Favorite Movies of 2008

I watched fewer movies in 2008 than 2007 so a 'best of' list is almost presumptuous on my part. Suffice it to say this list was tougher to put together than most years and therefore the list consists, in part, as a default list of movies I liked just enough.

Edge of Heaven
Man on Wire
My Blueberry Nights
Red Belt
Revanche [festival]
Tell No One
Time Crimes
Vicky Christina Barcelona
Waltz with Bashir
Woman on the Beach
Yella

Second Tier: (aka Mostly good)
