Best of 2008 Picks -- Christopger Fowler

My Personal Best

A few great movies stood out:

'Waltz With Bashir' - the haunting animated story of the first Lebanon war
'The Children' - one of the creepiest horror fillms in a long time
'Priceless' - the rom-com that did everything 'Sex And The City' didn't.

In music, I loved:

'8 Lust Songs' by Michael Nyman
The five-disc set 'La Nouvelle Chanson' by Mark Ronson
'The Orphanage' (soundtrack)

Performance:

DV8's 'To Be Straight With You'

Best books included:

Who's Buried Under Your Floor? (A guide to London's Forgotten Plague Pits)
'The New Heritage of Horror' - David Pirie
