I've seen ten 2008 films, which is not bad for me as I rarely attend cinemas. Actually, turns out I've seen quite a lot of films from the last couple of years even though I thought my average should be about five; anyhow five's a bigger number than the actual times I attend a cinema per year.
So, for 2008:

The Awful Ones:

Saw V (seen in cinemas) - 28

The Mediocre Ones:

Quantum of Solace (seen in cinemas) - 43
The Oxford Murders - 46

The Good Ones:

Kung Fu Panda (seen in cinemas, yes I did) - 71

The Great Ones:

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - 79
Iron Man - 79
Luca - 80 (seen in cinemas... Sorta. A giant screen was put is the highly turistic Carlos Gardel passage and the film was projected for free, allowing every Luca thriving rocker to have access to the premiere)
Paranoid Park - 81
The Dark Knight - 88
Waltz With Bashir - 96 (Departures? Huh?)

Waltz With Bashir - 96 (Departures? Huh?)

Seriously, yeah, what the hell. I was certain Waltz With Bashir would get it.
