A lot of media ranked movies last year in a variety of ways, and I'd like to make a top 10 movie list in my own opinion. However I am not nominating the movies that are released last year, but those I watched last year. That's why most of them don't seem new.
It's quite fun, I decide to do this every year
＃１０
[2003] Talk to Her
It tells about love and loneliness in a sentimental way. In this film I saw "The furthest distance in the world". What is there existing deeply in a person's body? Even while the beloved can do nothing for you ever but breath. She is still talk to you so loud with her greatest effort.
favorite scene:
The man recalled his old love while Caetano Veloso singing Cucurrucucu Paloma.

＃９
[2002] Undercover Brother
I discovered it in Comedy Central. A film making fun of the difference between black and white culture. There are lots of classic black songs. Even James Brown, the Father of Soul, is making fun of himself. Oh this film really get me. I was so entertained after the movie.
favorite scene:
Everybody envies Undercover Brother while it is discovered he had sex with the white chick.

[1968] 2001: A Space Odyssey
Finally I watched the very classic film. It's not only an tremendous breakthrough in movie techniques, but has successfully "explained" and "predicted" human civilization. I seriously believe the writer and director have their own time machine helping them shot this movie. But they chose not to show the audience the whole idea of Space Odyssey. Trickily urged all my imagination.
favorite scene: Apes throwing bones.

＃７
[2007] Juno
The story of the teenage little Mom, and tells such a serious happening in a humor way. I like the goodness of every character in it. I can feel that they really enjoy being themselves. Additionally, the background guitar sound makes the world looks even more beautiful in Juno.
I found it actually quite comply Christian doctrines after I committed to Jesus. Such like anti-abortion plot, save the virgin for the one you love. I guess it's trying to please Christians in the States.
favorite scene:
The anxiety looking on that young wife during the waiting of little baby.

＃６
[2007] Live Free or Die Hard
Another movie shocked the audience with overwhelming special effects and reached the peak of entertainment. It's really amazing Bruce can still do this kind of job in his age. In my opinion, he is the coolest bald man ever. Action movie like Die Hard really inspires to work out more. To build more muscle so I can beat a fight jet like John McClane does.
favorite scene: The way he crushed the chopper.

＃５
[2008] The Dark Knight
The one which has been praised by almost everybody this year. It's true TDK represents a new image of comics hero and put the villain into a unbelievably high status. But while I watched it the other day it felt like underlining too much Joker's philosophy that bored me. Anyhow I love the casting of this movie. The fall of such excellent actor is a great great loss for the world.
favorite scene: Every scenes with Joker

＃４
[2006] Click
I felt in love with the songs Linger & You get what you give because of "Click". I even felt in love with Kate Beckinsale whom I quite don't like the The Pearl Harbor. This movie touched me more than most feature movies though it's actually a comedy. However I couldn't remember why was I so touched. Maybe it's the background music and atmosphere in the movie.
favorite scene: Adam looks great in the old man make up.

＃３
[1988] Le Grand Bleu
It's probably because of my affection toward the ocean.
And probably I count it as extraordinary romance while a guy can desperate for something he desires. Thanks to the role of the girl, the plot is full of attraction. The way she gives up everything for the love make it more cruel since the boy wants nothing but complete his dream. It's ironic but real. People always love those who doesn't love you while these who love you are not whom you love.(This phrase read so awkward in my translation)
favorite scene:
The boy and Jean Reno are so drunk and compete each other in the swimming pool

＃２
[2008] Wall-E
Surprisingly it is two robots that are created by attract all of my attention. Wall-E & Eve, the mooooooooost lovely screen couple in 2008. They are so naive like children and have no ugly human nature. They have faith in love and can spare no effort to guard their love. How is this possible for human beings?
The scene they dance in space is most fantastic and should has it's own place in movie history. What's more, I really hope those Americans who made this film can figure out how much resource they have wasted on this planet so the idea of this movie can grow in people's mind.
favorite scene: Dance in the space

＃１
[2008] Orz Boys
Obviously it's all because of now I miss Taiwan so much. Orz Boys gave me the warm in summer, that's my favorite part of Taiwan island. It reminded me the girl sat next to me in my elementray school, I had a crush on her. It reminded me the time which I could become seriously emotional because of a small toy. The abandoned basement I took adventure in school. This is irreplaceable. I thought it can never be reminded again until Orz Boys catch me up in the time tunnel. I am speechless with the 囧 look in my face.
favorite scene:
#1 and #2 meet in the end in the water theme park.

Still I haven't got a chance to watch most movies released in 2008. Surely there are piles of good movies I don't know about. Always I take watching a movie as treasure hunting. Sometimes I dig a piece of crap when others I can dig gold. So if you know where the gold is. Please please tell me about it.
