I can't believe that Faster Pussycat is going to place higher than The War Game. Sometimes I don't understand you people.

This is a really weak year for me; if I'd seen Watkins' film I'd most likely rank it higher than Meyer's.

Last few times I whined about film not showing up (The Son and another I forget), the next two lists also had said film at #1. Creepy.

Ridiculously good year.

Nice to see another fan of Samurai Spy. Way back when people on RT were talking it down a little bit but I find it's quite profiicient, memorable and has a very unique stylization for it's genre. Perhaps it's a little unwieldy at times, but that's part of the charm.

Sycophant · 06-20-2008, 03:45 PM

I've apparently seen a whopping two films from this year, one of which was A Charlie Brown Christmas.

More people vote for A Charlie Brown Christmas.

MadMan · 06-20-2008, 05:19 PM

I better not seen any Sound of Music on any of these lists

Oh and I use Criticker to comply my lists, not IMDB.com. Anyways:

1. A Charlie Brown Christmas
2. Major Dundee-Thanks TCM for showing the film in its original glory
3. For a Few Dollars More

Hmm, I should see more from this year.
