Movies I loved

that I watched at home or in the cinema

It's been quite a season for movies that put the audience through a traumatizing wringer of violence and suspense. No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Eastern Promises, and Sweeney Todd were all grim and bloody spectacles that took their viewers to some pretty dark places. But I can't think of a movie last year that I walked out of literally shaking with dread (as in, when I tried to use an ATM machine by the theater, my hands could barely operate the touch screen). If there were an Oscar for most soul-grinding cinematic experience, Funny Games (Warner Independent Pictures) would have the 2008 award tied up already. But does that make it a good movie?
