The New York Times' Critics' Picks in Movies & TV

As our colleagues at Omnivoracious and Amazon Game Room have already noted, The New York Times just released its 2008 Holiday Gift Guide with its critics' picks for top releases of the year, including movies (selected by Dave Kehr, who years ago wrote some reviews for Amazon.com, including The Talk of the Town and The Hitch-Hiker) and TV (selected by Ginia Bellafante).  They're fun lists, combining critical hits (The Dark Knight, Mad Men) with quality reissues (A Christmas Story Ultimate Collector's Edition, Freaks and Geeks Yearbook Edition) and under-the-radar gems (Murnau, Borzage and Fox, Fortysomething).  If you're interested in adding any of these to your gift list, we've made a buyable list of all their selections.  --David

Thanks for the nice mention. I should point out, though, that this is a gift guide, not a best-of-the-year list. There are many other titles I would place over "Horton Hears a Who"!
