From 2008?

Milk, The Wrestler, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Dark Knight, Happy-Go-Lucky, WALL-E, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Synecdoche New York, In Bruges, Frost/Nixon, Funny Games, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Shine A Light, The Duchess, Iron Man, Pineapple Express, The Visitor, Burn After Reading, My Blueberry Nights, Caramel, Rachel Getting Married, Man on Wire.

All better than Slumdog Millionaire as far as I'm concerned.

You have a fairly mixed list of films, most of which I would say are very good. I'm not sure why you are singling out SM as some art-house film that is over rated when half of the films you listed ARE art-house films that most average Americans wouldn't have the chance to see even if they wanted until they hit the home market...

Damn I agree with you more so than anyone on this site! lol but I dont see why you think SM is so overrated, I mean it was a very original story with beautiful visuals and camera work...but w/e to each their own.

I don't think Slumdog Millionaire is a bad film. I think it's a good film, but the critical reaction was this outpouring of total, unmitigated hyperbole. I just can't fathom why it has received such massive praise.

But there are always films that people wonder HOW they got such great critical reviews...Twilight for me.

I'm not really sure the critical reception for Slumdog Milionaire and Twilight are comparable.

Anyways, in addition to the massive critical praise, it's probably going to win Best Pic at the Oscars. Like I said, not bad...just overrated.
