2008 was powerful and varied. Waltz with Bashir has an Israeli veteran recovering memories of the 1982 Lebanon War through animation, The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas has a commandant’s son befriending a boy behind the camp fence, and Ip Man has a martial arts master defending his community. Ponyo, Slumdog Millionaire, Gran Torino, WALL-E and The Dark Knight round out the eight.
