ROB CHRISTOPHER:

A film begins when you see it, not when it’s released. So my list of the Best Films of 2008 includes some movies that are decades old. Sure, they weren’t made this year. But one day when I think back to 2008 these are the ones I’ll probably remember most.

Sarah Polley: AWAY FROM HER (2006)
Nick Broomfield: BATTLE FOR HADITHA (2007)
Zoe Cassavetes: BROKEN ENGLISH (2006)
Julian Schnabel: THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY (2007)
Steve McQueen: HUNGER (2008)
John Frankenheimer: THE ICEMAN COMETH (1973)
Jean Eustache: THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE (1973)
David Gordon Green: PINEAPPLE EXPRESS (2008)
Jay Roach: RECOUNT (2008)
Tamara Jenkins: THE SAVAGES (2007)
