Michael Leary on "Redeeming Films"

Michael Leary of film-think links to CT Movies' 10 Most Redeeming Films of 2008. And then he responds:

...

If we want to use "redeeming" with all of its Christological force as a certain way of looking at films, then we will have to go far off the beaten track, see things we don't want to see, and spend time and money on things that studios and publicists are telling us are worthless.

I'm curious: If I asked you to turn in your list of "the best films you saw in 2008" and "the most redeeming films you saw in 2008," would your lists differ?
