Rewriting my “Best of 2008″ List

Posted on | January 30, 2009 | 4 Comments

I stand corrected. Having now watched Slumdog Millionaire earlier this week, I must say that it contains the single best screenplay of 2008. As such, I’ve revised my Best of 2008 list:

BEST-WRITTEN MOVIES OF 2008

5. Iron Man

4. Iron Man Tropic Thunder

3. Tropic Thunder The Dark Knight

2. The Dark Knight Kung Fu Panda

1. Slumdog Millionaire
