1. Dark Knight
2. Australia
3. Frost/Nixon
4. Doubt
5. Walle
6. Milk
7. Revolutionary Road
8. Changeling
9. Slumdog Millionare
10. CCOBB.
I am stating them in this order because of prestige and because the oscars said they also wanted to go with big-grossing movies more as well.

The Dark Knight
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
Australia
Doubt
Slumdog Millionaire
Milk
Frost/Nixon
Revolutionary Road
Happy-Go-Lucky
Gran Torino

I’m not going to guess which films make the NBR list but I’ll post which film should make the top 10. Not trying to be deliberately left of center here but the picks are always predictable as if other films that didn’t get a mention are not worthy. So here’s the worthy ‘under the radar’ films almost no one saw but worth watching for its cerebral and enjoyable qualities. In no particular order:
(1) In Bruges
(2) Girl Cut In Two
(3) I Served the King of England
(4) Kabluey
(5) Man on Wire
(6) Frozen River
(7) Tuya’s Marriage
(8) My Brother is an Only Child
(9) The Band’s Visit
(10) Reprise
I think ‘Man on Wire’ may be the only one in my list to make it in most film society’s best, so what do I know…
