Slumdog Millionaire- My Favorite Movie of 2008

What's new on DVD right now? Only one of the best feel-good movies EVER.

Slumdog Millionaire is an excellent combination of suspense, romance and even some comedy. I really have to say it was my favorite movie of 2008, and I would recommend it to anyone. But you don't even need to hear me extol the virtues of the film- It won the Best Picture Oscar, for heaven's sake!

Here's a synopsis, in case you're wondering what this film is all about:

Slumdog Millionaire is loosely based on the fictional novel “Q and A” by Indian writer Vikas Swarup, which tracks the life of Jamal Malik, an impoverished child living in Mumbai’s sprawling slums. After losing his mother, Jamal (played as a teen by Dev Patel) and his brother Salim (played as a teen by Madhur Mittal) must do whatever necessary to survive. Jamal’s travels are filled with memorable encounters, good and bad, but along the way he meets another orphan child, Latika (played as a teen by Freida Pinto). When Jamal and Latika become separated, he becomes romantically determined to reunite with Latika… even if it means appearing on the Indian version of “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” Jamal begins drawing on his past experiences to answer the questions that will inevitably lead him to vast wealth and lost love. But after lasting longer than anyone ever expected, Jamal is accused of cheating and must prove to the police and the show’s producers how he knows the answers by retelling his arduous childhood in a series of flashbacks.
