I watched Kit Kittredge and Ballet Shoes, and while both are good, I preferred Ballet Shoes. I also enjoyed Wall-e, Nim's Island, and City of Ember. Thanks for your review on City of Ember, I hadn't heard of it until I saw it listed on Redbox. I read your review, watched it, and was very happy with my choice. I would probably say that City of Ember is the best movie (most satisfying) that I've seen in a while. But then I mostly watch movies for the escape. :) I did see The Vistor and was quite disappointed in the ending, although the rest of the movie was good.
I respect your list, but I feel that you left a bunch of great movies out. To compare, I made my own Top 15 Best List.
15) Forgetting Sarah Marshall
14) Kung Fu Panda
13) Iron Man
12) Role Models
11) The Visitor
10) Vicky Christina Barcelona
09) Tropic Thunder
08) Frost/Nixon
07) Rachel Getting Married
06) Zack and Miri Make a Porno
05) The Reader
04) Milk
03) Slumdog Millionaire
02) The Dark Knight
01) The Wrestler
A great list, Pat! Thanks so much.
What? No love for Synecdoche?
Glad you liked that one, a.doomoot! I thought it was stunning and audacious but, like the life and work of its main character, fell apart at the end. Amazing film, though, and I love Kaufman.
