The Best of 2008

2008 saw very few great films as compared to previous years. However, there are 3 outstanding films which i feel take the cake. In third place is Body of Lies, starring Russel Crowe and Leo Dicaprio. It traces the story of a CIA worker in the face of terrorism today. It is very gripping and quite an eye-opener. Number 2 is WALL-E. It is the story of a little robot who, after cleaning the earth for centuries, changes the fate of human life. It is very original and the characters are so lovable. Taking the top spot is The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger, who played the role of the Joker so well that the world was so moved by a single comicbooksuperhero movie. His performance was deliciously dark and made the Joker my all-time favourite villain. This film will not be forgotten in many years to come.
