Critics Top 100 of 2008

To avoid repeated films from showing I have re-adujsted the lists of 2005-2008 (you can find them on my page). The way it works is, this site uses a point system to number the top films. If a film is someone’s number 1 it receives 10 points. If it’s someone’s number 10 it receives 1 point. Sounds like a good way, but what about the films that repeat on two years, like 4 Months, 3 Weeks & 2 Days, Paranoid Park, Bands Visit, and others? Instaed of letting 4 Months be number 12 of 2007 and 29 of 2008, I added up its accumulative points from 2007 and 2008 and put it in 2008 because that is the year it was released theatrically in the states. So, if a film on this lists hasn’t gone to theaters yet and ends up opening sometime in 2009, I will take it off so that when people put it in their 2009 list (such as Silent Light, which appeared on 2007, 2008 lists and will appear on 2009 lists) it won’t be as low on all three lists. This also helps other films to get in the top 100 that normally wouldn’t. For example, Shotgun Stories opened limited in 2007, therefore, I moved it over to the top 100 of 2007, letting in an extra film on this list. Hope that helps.
