My Top Movies of 2008

Note: This is my list. It probably doesn't match anyone elses. That's more or less by design. Ann Arbor gets flicks that don't hit other markets, but frequently gets Oscar contenders after the awards go out. 2008 was another great year for movies. Some of the choices this year are edgy or offbeat (YPF, The Gymnast). My advice is to pay attention to ratings and descriptions.
