How Hollywood Entertained Us With Some Of The Best Movies In 2008

What are the best movies worth seeing that were made in 2008? Even though the question is very straightforward, it all depends on your genre preference. The movie industry produced a series of blockbuster hits that filled the seats at movie theaters with hundreds of thousands of seat in movie theaters all across the country.

According to Video Business, the average American watches approximately seven movies each and every month. Even though most of these movies are viewed in the privacy of their homes, the statistic reflects the passion we all have in watching movies.

Did you know that Hollywood released approximately 500 movies during 2008? While that is a remarkable number of films, only a few made it onto the big screen. Others were enjoyed by a select group of special interest movie watchers. All in all, there was something entertaining for everyone.

When 2008 was fast coming to a close, movie critiques sought to render their best opinions for those movies that seemed to become major hits and for those that faded off into the movie land that time forgot. While it has been said that a well-known movie critic can make or break a movie by rendering their opinion publicly, the best movies will always be those that connect with you in a personal way.

Personally, I love to watch movies that invoke a deep sense of suspense or a good action movie. These types of movies seem to take you away from the everyday cares of life while projecting you into a fictitious world of entertaining possibilities. They are a wonderful source for entertainment.

Was 2008 a good year for the movie industry? This is not an easy question to answer. For some it was a horrible year while others enjoyed one dynamic film after another.

There is no way to truly give significance to all of the movies released during the year. While many titles received accolades and awards for great performances, there are a lot of wonderful movies that never made it to the big screen. Most of them can be found on popular retail movie websites on the Internet.

While we all have our own preference for movies, my favorites for 2008 were: Wanted, Tropic Thunder, Slumdog Millionaire, Burn After Reading, The Visitor, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Gran Torino, WALL-E, Iron Man and The Dark Knight. Even though I viewed more movies than what is listed, these are the ones I highly recommend renting if you have not seen them. They are remarkably entertaining.
