MOVIEmeter Top 25 Films of 2008

IMDb presents the MOVIEmeterâ„¢ Top 25 Films of 2008, rankings based not upon critical assessments or box-office performance, but the actual search behavior of over 57 million users of IMDb.com.

It’s a mix of box office hits, upcoming films in production, and classic user favorites — you’ll be surprised to see that some of the highest-ranked movies on our site don’t come out until next year (or in the case of one movie, 2011), but they’re the ones that generated the most heat.
