World Series Champs
	1.	Slumdog Millionaire

	5.	Milk
		A good film made great by a perfect performance.
	6.	WALL•E
		When will we see a romance this strong again?
	7.	Let the Right One In (Sweden)
		Chilling, haunting, disturbing. It'd be hard to pack more atmosphere into a film.
	8.	Revolutionary Road
		Very, very good, but I'm a sucker for Sam Mendes.
	9.	Frost/Nixon
		Among the year's best without question. Sort of an unlikely sports movie.
	10.	Doubt
		An acting clinic with an intriguing play on protagonist and antagonist.
	11.	Iron Man
		Maybe the most fun I've had in the cinema all year.
Made the Playoffs
	12.	Burn After Reading
		The Coens? Officially on a hot streak.
	13.	The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
		Excellent performances, a good movie - not the year's best, but certainly good enough.
	14.	In Bruges
		Martin McDonagh is absolutely brilliant.
	15.	Forgetting Sarah Marshall
		Solid and satisfying, if uneven.
	16.	Recount
		Worth a look for political types.
	17.	W
		Interesting and well-made, if not the bombshell we were all expecting.
	18.	Quantum of Solace
		The directing faltered, but Daniel Craig didn't.
	19.	Changeling
		Far from Clint's best, but handsome and worth a look.
	20.	Zack and Miri Make a Porno
		Somewhere between old Kevin Smith and new Kevin Smith, a funny, pleasant (!) movie.
	21.	Cloverfield
		A breath of life into the monster genre.
	22.	Vicky Cristina Barcelona
		Far from Annie Hall, but worth a look.
	23.	Get Smart
		Good for a quick laugh.
	24.	Tropic Thunder
		Didn't set the world on fire. Still pretty damn funny.
Put In a Solid Effort
	25.	Run Fatboy Run
		An entirely acceptable romantic comedy, with some genuinely funny moments.

		That's just crazy enough to work!
	27.	Be Kind Rewind

	28.	Hellboy II: The Golden Army
		del Toro really, really likes making cool monsters.
	29.	The Incredible Hulk
		Will be forgotten against Iron Man and The Dark Knight, but not bad.
	30.	Mister Lonely
		Harmony Korine's best film is still a bit of a trial.
	31.	Man on Wire
		An admirable miss.
	32.	The Pineapple Express
		Not as good as "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. Still okay.
	33.	Seven Pounds
		Smith can't make this one work, try though he might.
	34.	Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist
		Band Name? Band Name. Band Name? Band Name. Band Name? Band Name.
	35.	Just Buried
		Not quite funny enough, but not a complete waste of your time.

		Simple, easy horror, big on atmosphere.
Finished Below .500
	37.	Australia
		Dude, Baz....what the hell was that. Seriously.
	38.	Quarantine
		They're sick! Totally not zombies. Not at all. Also not all that interesting.
	39.	Baby Mama
		Funny actresses, unfunny script.
	40.	Lakeview Terrace
		I have had it with these mf'in interracial couples in my mf'in suburb!
	41.	Hancock
		Solid premise ruined by feelings and emotions and all that lame stuff.
Rebuilding Season
	42.	The X-Files: I Want to Believe
		If it were an episode, you would've changed the channel at about 9:18.
	43.	Diminished Capacity
		Insulting to the elderly AND the mentally disabled!
	44.	Mirrors
		Needed a loudly ticking clock.
	45.	Midnight Meat Train
		Not worth your time, even for horror nuts.
	46.	Religulous

Fire the Manager. Actually, Just Sell the Team.
	47.	Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
		The South Park episode? Very, very accurate.

		Just bad. I know it, you know it, the Weinsteins know it, deep in their black hearts.
	49.	Four Christmases
		Unbearable.
	50.	Mamma Mia!
		Pierce Brosnan sings. Any questions?
	51.	The Happening
