10 best films of 2008 (a tentaive list)

A Disclaimer:

Living in Tucson poses some problems when it comes to watching movies. On the plus side, we have an excellent independent movie theater that does a really good job of getting great lesser known movies here into town. On the other hand, these movies tend to come to Tucson very, very late. Sometimes never.

I'm itching to make this list but I have to deal with the problem of some of the most exciting movies released this year I have not seen yet and may not come here til January 2009.

Movies that that have not come to Tucson yet that I assume would make my list, and will be somehow edited into my list If I see fit in the future, are as follows:

- Milk
- The Wrestler
- Frost / Nixon
- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
- The Reader
- Doubt
- Che

Revolutionary Road has been pushed back world-wide to a limited January 2nd release, which means that won't be here til much later anyhow.

So lets calls this my first draft then.
