THE 10 BEST MOVIES OF 2008 — by Steve Nadis
The preliminaries are over. We’ve had the Oscars and Golden Globes and any number of award ceremonies. Finally, the time has come for the only 10 Best list that really matters–mine.
“Why now?” some may ask. To which I reply, what’s the rush? It takes me awhile to get around to seeing the movies. I never saw “Milk,” for instance, until last weekend. But I’m finally ready with my picks, having seen most of the movies (although not all) that I think might have cracked the top 10. Here they are for anyone who is interested and even for those who are not:
THE TOP 10 MOVIES OF 2008
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk
The Visitor
Hamlet 2
Smart People
Big Bad Swim
Appaloosa

Snake, Honey,
I probably shouldn’t comment since I’ve only seen two of the movies you list, (then again, what percentage of these movies have you seen?) but there is clearly a glaring omission. I won’t mention any names, but I will say that I want to tap you so hard my shtizl comes out your pupick.

Sorry Ma, my bad. Yes ZOHAN was the top movie of 2008. I don’t know how I could possibly have forgotten it… –S
I need to brush up on my Yiddish. Will Zohan help?
Yes, it displays a creative use of Yiddish in addition to its other virtues (such as being the #1 movie of 2008 if not any year).
