List: Top 10 Movies of 2008

This week on Episode 209 of the InSession Film Podcast, we continued our year-by-year retrospectives by taking a look at 2008. Coming off the heels of 2007, which some would argue is one of the best years in the modern era for film, 2008 could feel like a let down. However, it was a massive year for film overall. Mainstream Hollywood especially had an incredible year. The superhero genre took the world by storm, it was a fantastic year for comedies and also a significant year for foreign films. So, there was a lot to choose from for a Top 10 list and we conjured some great films for this discussion.

On #209 we only discussed our Top 5 movies of 2008, so be sure to listen to the show to hear us discuss why these particular films were the very best of that year. However, as you’ll see below, we have listed our full Top 20 lists from 2008.
