If it wasn't for the mad dash to the Oscars delivering a constant stream of quality flicks, 2008 was shaping up to be quite awful. But in the end I was able to fill out the top 10 with a bunch of respectable names so I was able to push back the crap of the year till past the top 20. This means that there is a noticeable drop in quality once I start filling out the 20's with comedy after comedy. Thankfully the movie gods delivered The Spirit in December which is just a beautiful piece of memorable trash. I can't really complain when I have a year that leads off with The Dark Knight and finishes up with The Spirit.
