Let's Get Crispy, Morton!'s Best Movies of 2008!

So, I still haven't seen The Wrestler, Synecdoche, New York, Man On Wire, The Visitor, or Let The Right One In, so my top 5 might seem ridiculous to some of you who have seen these movies.

I never had time to see the ones I know I will love, but the year already ended and I need to post my favorites that I have seen.

Here they are, in order:

#5 - Burn After Reading

#4 - Doubt

#3 - The Dark Knight

#2 - Wall-E

#1 - Slumdog Millionaire

Let's Get Crispy, Morton!'s Best of 2008 - #1

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes (Sub Pop)

Let's Get Crispy, Morton!'s Best of 2008 - #2

Little Joy - Little Joy (Rough Trade)

Let's Get Crispy, Morton!'s Best of 2008 - #3

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago (Jagjaguwar)


Some argue that this album shouldn't count as a 2008 release. Technically, it was self-released in 2007, but Jagjaguwar released it in February of 2008, so I am counting it. Deal with it.

Let's Get Crispy, Morton!'s Best of 2008 - #4
