I highly disagree with Happy-Go-Lucky. It wasn’t the best movie. And her name is Poppy. Also, the film was disappointing.

Here are some great but overlooked films of 2008:
Synecdoche, New York – best film of the year, hands down. Not since Mulholland Drive have I seen such genuine ambition in a film.
Che – Have no idea why there were so many whol disliked it–but then again, it did pop up in several Best of 2008 lists. But still, a 61% Tomatometer, when Kingdom of the Crystal Skull gets a CERTIFIED FRESH 76 percent? Really????
United Red Army
Death in the Land of Encantos
Melancholia
Il Divo
99 Francs
Mother of Tears
Boarding Gate
The Silence Before Bach
The Beaches of Agnes
2008 was definitely a great year for obscure, arthouse foreign films, and those nine (and that's only a few of them…) more than prove it.

Here here, Nick. Young Adam needs to stop watching films for a bit and get out more….maybe buy a mountain bike?

"Or maybe American moviegoers generally have shit for taste, as evidenced by the fact they went to see Passion of the Christ in 2004, or Hancock this year, and not this film. Memo to religious America: take the cross out of your ass and lighten up."

Just as soon as Hollywood makes an "irreverent" movie concerning the prophet Mohammad, and someone like you tells "religious Muslims to take the Quran out your ass and lighten up" — but I doubt you'd have the balls for that.

No hate speech?

"Memo to religious America: take the cross out of your ass and lighten up." Hmmm. I guess this place is more for those who want to Restrict freedom of speech as long as they agree with it.

Bruges was a great film, Orphanage sucked, Hamlet 2 is just that "Lets make fun of Christianity because its the "IN" thing that all left leaning "free minded" people love to applaud…Love to see a movie about "Allah" but then again that would be "wrong" and not "IN"

In no way do I vouch for Jennifer Lopez. Haha. The Cell for visual purposes was pretty good stuff, but The Fall is much better overall. And thank you for the kind words about us Rejects. We're lucky to have you here.

I Loved the Fall, it hurts to see it going so unnoticed all year :(

Hi for all…
Bruges is a great movie, for me the best in this list and Ray is a special and different caracter. Colin is a great actor and I hope that he wins the Golden Globe in 01/11.

In Bruges was so so great.

And the Signal was amazing. Except for the middle part, that director should be banned from their little director trio they had going. It was good, but killed the awesome vibe of the movie.

I completely agree…Hamlet 2 was a big letdown… talk about overhyped. I was ready and wanted to like it or even love it, settled in, laughed at the fake commercials the great Steve Coogan's character had been in…from there it went downhill fast. I was really shocked when I noticed how shabbily put together it was. I mean, the whole point of the movie…WHY he would put on the worst play of all time…was never explained to me in the least.

I saw most of the movies on this list and loved every one of them except 'Hamlet 2'…I was shocked at how unfunny it was.
