That doesn't count the numerous films I've seen on DVD this year, but I'm too lazy to remember them. This year has been pretty lackluster for me in terms of actual moviegoing -- that's just barely 30 films, and usually I see 30-40 in the theater, if not more. Now I have seen (to date, will likely see it once or twice more when it gets re-released) The Dark Knight a total of four times theatrically and I plan on seeing Quantum of Solace again tomorrow.

And there's still a lot of movies I want to see before the year is out -- Valkyrie, Milk, W., Sex Drive, Doubt, The Reader, Revolutionary Road however I am not sure if I'll see most of those within the next month. I am so-so on seeing Punisher: War Zone but curiosity will likely force me to see it sometime either this weekend or following week.
 
I still have to see Valkyrie, Milk, Seven Pounds, Revolutionary Road, Yes Man, Slumdog Millionaire and Curious Case of Benjamin Button (which a friend has seen and predicts it will sweep the Oscars this year).
 
Ah, yes! Slumdog Millionaire and The Curious Case of Benjamin Button! Two more movies I still want to see this year. Aargh.
 
Quantum of Solace - B.
The only one I went out to see, and Daniel Craig did not get naked enough in it!
 
The movies I have listed for wanting to see this month are

City of Ember
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

and possibly

The Day the Earth Stood Still
Twilight
Hunger (I will probably wait for this to come out on DVD)
 
Cloverfield: A-
Iron Man: A
The Incredible Hulk: B
The Dark Knight: A+
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: B-
Hancock: C (commits the same sin as too many other superhero movies)
Vantage Point: B+
The X-Files: I Want to Believe: D

I don't go to the movies very often so I haven't seen that many of this year's films. I have Wanted on Blu-Ray at home but have not watched that yet. I'm interested in Frost/Nixon, W., Burn After Reading, Quantum of Solace, Star Wars: Clone Wars and possibly a few others. I will get those when they are out on Blu-Ray or DVD.
 
Okay, well I know not all of these were released in 2008, but I saw them for the first time this year.
