Interested in: No particular genre

Description: Year after year, movie lovers and non movie lovers alike discuss ad nauseum the fate of films nominated for the utmost honor, the Academy Award. Some people watch it for the fashion. Some people watch for the haute couture. Some people watch for their fill of celebrity sightings. If you are a member of this group, you love everything about the Super Bowl of movies, especially the movies themselves! You love to make predictions, guess at the politics, discuss and dissect who should have been nominated and who should have won...or, you're just an avid movie lover that likes to pay attention. Come join the group!

AFI's Top 10 of 2008

Just came across this page over on AFI's site... its their top 10 of 2008.

AFI MOVIES OF THE YEAR-OFFICIAL SELECTIONS

Theres a few rather obvious selections on there but a few I find rather baffling. AFI offers no explanation/rationale for the selections but Ironman and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button? I saw Iron Man, and thought it was good, but not exactly what I would consider to be a truly "great" film. I haven't seen Benjamin Button, but its gotten mixed reviews at best and not what I would consider a runaway pick for a best of list.

Any thoughts? Maybe a few titles that should have been on here but arent?
