I enjoyed almost all of the films I saw this year at TIFF, the exceptions being the really horrible Radio Love, and People's Choice Award winner,Slumdog Millionaire--and even with that one I loved two thirds of the film.

I saw 30 films this year, I agree with donna g Radio Love was horrible, and Slumdog Millionaire was just there, nothing special. My favorite film was Patrick 1.5 a really smart touching film about two gay men who get a 15 year old boy instead of a baby they wanted to adopt. 35 Rhums would be my next choice, it was a beautiful film about a father and daughter and their extended family. Finally RockandRolla was just pure fun and I can't wait to see it again.
I really liked 'Slumdog Millionaire',if you go to see it stay for the credits and you will be treated to a Bollywood number.
'$5.00 a day' was with Christopher Walken was wonderful.
A great performance in 'Happy Go Lucky' by Sally Hawkins.
'Hunger' was very interesting and the lead actor certainly looked as if he was wasting away. He portrayed Bobby Sands.
Kari Skogland's film '50 Dead Men Walking' was also well done.
I really enjoyed 'It Might Get Loud' and didn't want it to end.
Guilty pleasures were: 'Chocolate' and 'Detroit Metal City'.
'JCVD' was worth a look too, a strong start but a weak ending.
Guy Ritchie's 'Rocknrolla' was a fun return to what he does best.
Hope to see more of the actor who played the druggy rocknrolla.
A strange film was 'Vinyan'. Creepy but fascinating.
I hated 'Cooper's Camera' - bad, overacting, totally unlikeable characters.
'Dioses' was well done, a comment on the diffence between the rich and poor in Peru.
I saw 19 films this year, all in all a pretty good festival for me.
