08: Favorite movies

There is an international ensemble of movies when looking at my favorite movies of 08.  Movies from France, USA, Germany, Denmark and the Czech Republic. I should explain that I watched them in 08 but many of them were already released before. That is because my main media to watch movies is the DVD. If I am really interested in watching a movie I like having all the little other features like commentary etc about it as well and I guess some of the movies really should be watched on the big screen, some of them are ok on the tv screen as well. So, here they are, my favorite movies, in no particular order:

Odette Toulemonde

The Dark Knight

The Darjeeling Limited

Barfuss

Iron Man

Bee movie

La mome

Vratne Lahve

Voksne mennesker

Ratatouille

happy crows

The Berlinale ended and its not only me who is ok about that. Me, because I found nothing interesting in the movie-program being offered this time. The few interesting movies that were happening start anyways soon nationwide so why should I stand in line for tickets and see that I get an acceptable seat in the theater? Additionally I am interested in watching Oscar-nominated movies in the original version but during the Berlinale the normal program of the movie theater that plays original versions was on a pause due to Berlinale movies.

There are some other creatures who are even relieved – its those swarms of crows that reside on the trees at Potsdamer Platz at the moment. They have already enough stress with the normal traffic and “going-out”-groups passing them by at normal times. But during the Berlinale its so hectic that they hardly can get some rest.
