The year 2008 was a year of great hit movies. Depending on the type of movies you like, there was something entertaining for everyone. Not only were these movies great, but box office ticket sales recorded a record number of sales throughout the country and around the world.

According to Video Business, the average American watches approximately seven movies each and every month. Even though most of these movies are viewed in the privacy of their homes, the statistic reflects the passion we all have in watching movies.

It seems like Hollywood has a hard time keeping up with the demand for new movies and films. It is estimated that Hollywood movie producers released almost 500 films during 2008 and the demand does not seem to be slowing. While some where blockbusters, others consisted of English-language films, which are, for a large part, adaptations or sequels.

When 2008 was rapidly coming to a close, movie critics gathered all around the country to summarize the movies and to present their final verdicts for those movies which were deemed as overwhelming successes or dismal flops. While their verdicts do carry weight within the movie industry, there nothing but mere opinions. We all have our own preference for what truly entertains us.

Personally, I love to watch movies that invoke a deep sense of suspense or a good action movie. These types of movies seem to take you away from the everyday cares of life while projecting you into a fictitious world of entertaining possibilities. They are a wonderful source for entertainment.

Was 2008 a good year for the movie industry? This is not an easy question to answer. For some it was a horrible year while others enjoyed one dynamic film after another.

With over 500 films released during the year, there is no way to give significance to each and every film. While many movies faded away in the minds of special interest viewers, they are some movies that have made an indelible impression on us.

So what kind of movies did you enjoy in 2008? I am sure you found the time to entertain yourself and the family with movies that made you feel good inside. My personal favorites were as follows: Wanted, Tropic Thunder, Slumdog Millionaire, Burn After Reading, The Visitor, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Gran Torino, WALL-E, Iron Man and The Dark Knight. If you have never seen any of these, I suggest you rent them at your local video store. You will love the entertainment value they bring to your world of movie indulgent.
