1. The Dark Knight
"Delta, that pick is mindless and lame for the No. 1 spot. Every person in the country would put that at No. 1." Well, fuck you.
2. Pineapple Express
When will Danny McBride get his own comedy? Okay, other than Foot Fist Way. But to be fair, no one saw that, which is a shame. Anyway, Pineapple Express is brilliant with a capital Fuck Yeah. James Franco is great, Seth Rogan is great… even Rosie Perez doesn't make you want to gouge your eyes out and bury them.
3. Kung Fu Panda
You know you loved it. Even after you told yourself you were gonna hate it.
4. In Bruges
FINALLY a movie with Colin Farrel that we can watch without first removing our brain!
5. Iron Man
This movie was so good that I watched it for the first time, left the theater, took a dump and then snuck back into the same theater to watch it again.
6. Wall-E
Like Idiocracy, I'm fairly positive that this is what the world is going to turn into. But with that said, this movie was so cute it made me want to vomit bunnies.
7. Transsiberian
Good crime drama with a good deal of suspense. Not really a fan of Woody, but the fact that he played a total wiener made me actually like the casting. Sir Ben Kingsley plays a pretty metal Russian too.
8. Let the Right One In
A really good and disturbing Vampire flick from Sweden. I don't know about you all, but anything with kids as the bad guys creeps me out.
9. The Spiderwick Chronicles
Another really good kid's movie for the year. It seems like there are more of these popping up, which I like. We seemed to be in a bit a of a drought for a while there, with some pretty lame movies aimed at kids.
10. Slumdog Millionaire
Kind low on the list, but I alway like to close these things off with a bang. Danny Boyle delivers again… this is one worth the hype. And just as a side note, R.J.'s Ghost is not jumping on the Danny Boyle train, we've been fans for years. I owned the "Choose Life…" poster in college. Trainspotting holla!
Barely missing the cut: Appaloosa, Son of Rambow, Ghost Town, The Bank Job, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Hellboy II, Horton Hears a Who!, and Role Models.
Post Script: The Ghosts have yet to watch The Wrestler, Trick R' Treat, Frost/Nixon, Baghead, Frozen River or Milk. So this list could be altered in the near future. And fuck Benjamin Button.
Post, Post Script: If anyone ever makes a sequel to the X-Files Movie, or a fourth Indiana Jones movie, let us know. I'll bet those movies would be awesome, those are way too good and important to fuck up.
With love and judgement,
The Delta Blues
