The LONDON TIMES’ Top 100 Films of 2008
Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight (top); Time and Winds by Reha Erdem (bottom)
The London and the Sunday Times critics are apparently quite easy to please. They’ve come up with a list of no less than 100 Best Films for one single year: 2008.
Among the best of the best found in the Times list are masterpieces such as:
Cloverfield ("An hour in I started to sweat. And I nearly threw up trying to make sense of the increasingly chaotic and frightening scenes of the gripping climax" – James Christopher);
Definitely, Maybe ("A romantic comedy with a refreshingly adult sensibility and plot that doesn’t feel that it has been recycled and regurgitated by innumerable Cameron Diaz movies" [...]

indieWIRE Poll 2007
Via indieWIRE — "The Critics Speak: Best, Worst, the Auteurs and the Underrated." Below are a couple of sample quotes:
"More people in our world will see Juno than 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days. More will see 300 than Offside. More will see Saw IV than There Will Be Blood [above]. Yet we fight on, championing those films that really mean something to us. I find this rage against an always dying light both disconcerting and empowering, and I am thankful for filmmakers like Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jafar Panahi, Sarah Polley, Pedro Costa, Tsai Ming-liang, the Coens, Todd Haynes, and all of the others who consistently reminded me of why I do what I do and [...]
