As we bid adieu to 2008, Lakewood Library asked you, our patrons: What are the best movies of all time? (including older movies, all the way to those released in theaters by September 2008.)

From mobsters to musicals, the films that Lakewood Library patrons love are as varied and diverse as the community itself. Over 115 surveys were turned in, with 640 titles being submitted as favorites of all time. These films reach across decades, genres and continents. While some have received critical acclaim, other choices might surprise. You let your movie critic voices be heard and the results of our survey are below!
