So, any more lists?

Peter Travers - Rolling Stone

1. Milk
2. Slumdog Millionaire
3. The Dark Knight
4. Frost/Nixon
5. WALL-E
6. Revolutionary Road
7. The Visitor
8. Doubt
9. Rachel Getting Married
10. Man on Wire

Huh?

(I like your taste too, Libs)

Shouldn't Wall-E be #2? Unless his opinion on it dropped.

That reads more like a prediction of the Oscar lineup.

Back in 2005 he infamously gave King Kong 4 stars (One of two or three films that year, I believe), only to put it in a tie for 10th place with Wedding Crashers on his Top 10 list.

generally, he's a pandering douche.

Well, that goes without saying. Twenty years ago he was actually a decent critic.

here's an easy on the eyes rundown of the Top 10 thus far

EXHAUSTING

I have a huge boner right now.

what's so interesting is that the top 5 are the exact 5 I picked for BP

Wall-E 12
Slumdog Millionaire 8
The Dark Knight 7
Milk 7
Curious Case of Benjamin Button 6

with the next group right outside (well, not Doubt)

Doubt 5
Revolutionary Road 5
Frost/Nixon 4
The Wrestler 4

I'm not all that worried about RR right now, honestly. What does scare me is Frost/Nixon.

^Failure of a list. Might as well have included his Top 100 of the year.

I propose everyone at KJ have an end of the year Top 11 list to spite BK.

Thanks for this, but there was a site (actually a blog I think) that tallied exactly these TOP 10 lists... Is the site still functional? I remember last year before Oscar they tallied like 140 critics TOP 10 lists.

MCN.

Ewww. They changed the layout. The new look is awful.

I don't really care actually I'm just saying it's stupid to call them Top 10 lists if you're going to exceed the limit.

I don't like the whole Top 36 films of 2008 though I'm fine if it goes a little over 10.

WALL-E has now been mentioned 13 times on Year End lists.

Did Roeper call it the top 10? Because I dont see that in the post. The thread is called 2008 Top 10 Lists, but I think it's kinda up to the list maker if they want to list 14 or 20 or 76 films on their website. Plus, they are ordered so you can figure out which are his top 10 if you really want to (they will be the ones labeled 1-10).

"Roeper's Top 25 Movies of the Year"

http://www.suntimes.com/news/roeper/132 ... 12.article

I'm under the impression we're not supposed to isolate the Top 10. It's exactly like Ebert's though Roeper's are ranked.

with Roeper's picks

David Poland reported on his blog that WALL-E was ranked #1 by EW but I can't find it anywhere, whether its Lisa Schwarzbaum and Owen Gleiberman or both.

The #1s for Wall-E are encouraging, and the fact that Iron Man has more mentions than it or RR so far makes me think F/N doesn't have the supporters, but can easily get three major noms plus Editing.
