Note 1: Some of the movies in the list have been produced in 2007, but since they have been released in Montreal in 2008, I put them in the list.

Note 2: I still haven’t seen some highly-praised movies of the year such as Revolutionary road, The Wrestler, Entre les murs and Gomorra, because they have not been screened in Montreal yet.
