2008 Movie Rankings

As noted in my review for "The Wrestler", I am not a professional movie critic. (Still awaiting offers, Ebert and Roeper.) Therefore, I often don't get to see many of the films that make their debuts during award season until sometime after the end of the year. This year is no exception. Several of the films I looked forward to most as Award Season approached weren't even available to the masses in Dallas/Fort Worth until recently. I don't feel like it would be proper to have a rankings list when I have yet to take in some of Hollywood's best. As such, my annual movie rankings can't really make their debut until some time in February (like February 7th for instance). But with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (review to come) finally under my belt, I've gotten to see the majority of the nominated movies; at least the ones that I'm ever going to get to.

So without further delay, I present to you, dear reader(s), my official 2008 Movie Rankings, number 1 through 55.
