Slumdog Millionaire
Dazed:
I haven't seen this one yet, one of my friends said it was great, so I probably will.
Also, Danny Boyle completely resurrected (and improved) zombie movies with 28 Days Later. Sunshine was pretty okay as well, in addition to being the most visually beautiful film ever.
KvP:
Danny Boyle's films as of late have had a tendency to fall apart in the third act. This one doesn't have that problem. I'd argue that it gets good in its third act.

I found myself wishing that the producers had firmly decided between accessible and fully accurate rather than compromise.

Have you ever actually been to India and spoken to Indians? The educated ones who are multilingual do exactly that. They frequently jump from Hindi to English mid-sentence. It makes it a lot of fun to communicate with them, but frustratingly difficult to watch, say, a news program.
That said, my gutter Hindi has improved a great deal as a result.

28 Days Later? Seriously? That movie was completely unoriginal, un-unique, and un-inspired. The only saving grace was the soundtrack. The rest of the movie seemed cheesy, forced, and boring.
Dimmukane:
You're thinking of 28 WEEKS Later, that one was cheesy and forced and boring and had a lame soundtrack (the guy only had two weeks to do it, but it sounded like canned post-rock). 28 DAYS Later was awesome. Not quite as much as Dazed is purporting it to be (zombie movies were never in any danger, you just haven't been watching the right zombie movies), but it is easily one of the better zombie movies out there.
