I have 14 titles on my Best of 2008. Of the 14, 8 are either non-English language or documentary. 3 of the remaining 6 are independent, limited release films. The last three might be considered major Hollywood releases.
The 3 Hollywood films are:
Me And Orson Welles / Richard Linklater (a borderline choice)
Milk / Gus Van Sant
Rachel Getting Married / Jonathan Demme
The 3 indie films are:
Goodbye Solo / Ramin Babrani
Phoebe In Wonderland / Daniel Barnz
Ballast / Lance Hammer
The 8 foreign or docu are:
The Betrayal-Nerakhoon / Ellen Kuras and Thavisouk Phrasavavath
Chi Bi (Red Cliff) / John Woo
Entre Les Murs (The Class) / Laurent Cantet
Jerichow / Christian Petzold
Kurôn Wa Kokyô Wo Mezasu (The Clone Returns Home) / Kanji Nakajima
Pranzo Di Ferragosto (The Ferragosto Dinner, Mid-August Lunch) / Gianni Di Gregorio
Revanche / Götz Spielmann
Vals Im Bashir (Waltz With Bashir) / Ari Folman
So, 2008 will indeed be celebrated as an acclaimed year, but in Europe and Asia.
