[Movie] "You'll Be Like Oh Shit Thats The Jam!" - Best Movies You've Seen In 2008

The Fly - The classic scenario of a teleportation experiment going wrong. I know, it's probably sad I've only watched it recently (though I remember seeing parts of it when I was a child). Epic ending.

Planet of the Apes (original) - All I have to say is that this was MUCH better than the 2001 version.

The Iron Giant - I really should have watched this as a kid...I probably would've enjoyed it a lot more. The classic, "Robots...emotions?" theme.

WALL-E - Brilliant movie considering the lack of dialogue.

Mad Detective - A detective has a sixth sense, an ability to see the different personalities of people he encounters. He is asked to solve a mystery concerning the disappearance of an officer. There's a couple twists tied into this one that made it a very interesting watch.

Crows Zero - Japanese School Dominance. A single student fights for the head spot in a school that is all about gangs and power. Great fight sequences, directed by Tashiki Miike.

American History X - Consequences. A neo-nazist realizes he doesn't wants to correct his life after prison time.

Adrift in Tokyo - Man is in serious debt. The person he owes it to says he'll drop it if he spends one day following him (in Tokyo). As they traverse, they learn much about each other, their lives, and their previous relationships. It's all about bonding. Good watch.

All About Lily Chou-Chou - I have a thing for stories of fucked up japanese childhoods; this one falls right into the bunch. A group of friends from school growing up together, subsequently controlling all the innards of the school society, until some decide it's just too much. Members are linked by the "ether"; they are linked by music, and also on an online forum. Keeps you guessing who is who even until the end. Highly recommended.

Linda Linda Linda - What do I have to say...I love band movies. This one is the story of an japanese all-girl high school band. Nothing really out of the ordinary j-drama type movie, except a weird dream that the main singer has.

Also, this:

The animation looks great, the soundtrack, by electronic band Plaid, is stunning. It's got great action sequences, and a touching story of kinship. You can't go wrong.
