I see a lot of classic and old movies in the cinema, this year it was somewhere in the region of 60, and there are, of course, often films i would consider the previous year's whcih you see again.
This is a literal best films i've seen in the cinema in 2008. Unfortunately no 2008 actually make it onto this list (although Waltz With Bashir came very very close and would have made a top 15 easily, alongside Blade Runner: Director's Cut, Alien: Director's Cut, The Good, The Bad And The Ugly and The Killers).
A top 10 of 2008 films will follow.
Top Ten Films Seen At Cinema in 2008:
1. The Philadelphia Story - my third time seeing this wonderful film in the cinema.
2. The Godfather - second time on the big screen and it just gets better and better!
3. There Will Be Blood - My #1 film of 2007 was seen 2 more times in 2008 so achieves what the 2008 titles couldn't!
4. The Apartment - Again my third time on the big screen for my favourite Billy Wilder.
5. Ghostbusters - second time on the big screen for one of my true desert-island movies.
6. The Godfather, Part 2 - first time i've seen this on the big screen. very impressive.
7. Unforgiven - saw as part of a massive Eastwood season at the NFT. Many greats but this one's beautiful and brilliant.
8. Miller's Crossing - My favourite Coen film finally seen on the big screen. Also caught Blood Simple, Barton Fink and Fargo (which i saw on original release) in another NFT season.
9. Some Like It Hot - This was a bit special because Tony Curtis did a Q&A. My second time seeing it on the big screen. So great to see this with an audience.
10. The Lady Eve - as said in previous post my discovery of the year. Brilliant Preston Sturges film. I'm looking forward to catching up with more of his, especially Sullivan's Travels, this year.
