Your Favorite Movies from the Year 2007
« on: December 23, 2007, 05:00:44 PM »
I didn't see a this already in the forum, and being somewhat of a fan of lists, I'll offer up 10 of mine in no particular order:

No End in Sight   
Sunshine   
No Country for Old Men   
Ratatouille   
The Darjeeling Limited   
Eastern Promises   
The King of Kong   
Manufactured Landscapes   
Hairspray   
Broken English

i'm sure i will alter this list some once i watch my screener of Persepolis later today, and also Once, There Will Be Blood, Michael Clayton, and maybe The Savages. I should really swap out Hairspray or Broken English for Rescue Dawn already.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

Just saw No Country For Old Men & LOVED IT! Want to see it again. SO GOOD!

and The Lives of Others
& Superbad

I also liked Juno, the Darjeeling Limited, Broken English & Half Nelson (though technically 2006).

I'm going to make at least one movie post some time soon, but I've still got a lot to see. Let's just say, there's no love for EPIC MOVIE.

let's just say 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days is not quite a date movie.

No Country For Old Men and Assassination of Jesse James are tied for my favorite movie of 2007, but there's still a lot of stuff I want to see: Persepolis, The King of Kong, There Will Be Blood, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, I'm Not There, etc. I still haven't seen The Lives of Others or Ratalouie. I also can't remember anything I've seen before August.

Darjeeling Limited was exceptional, as was Rescue Dawn. Eastern Promises and Zodiac were solid, but felt like letdowns to me. Sweeney Todd was pretty good; a little too much music in the first and last twenty minutes, but the middle was great fun.

The worst movie I saw this year was Margot at the Wedding. Ugh. What a snooze.
It ain't ego, it's my love for you.

I'm trying to do some catch up before the year ends - still have tons to see - but right now these are my favs of 2007 (in no particular order):

No Country for Old Men
Zodiac
Great World of Sound
The Rat and Louie
The King of Kong
This Is England
The Darjeeling Limited

I've seen an s-hit load of films this year, but I can't even make a top ten!

Still to see though: Diving Bell, Juno, TWB Blood, Michael Clayton, Jesse James, Control, Persepolis, Before TDKY Dead, The Savages, Atonement, Du levande

Worst of the year, not counting crap with no ambition, like Norbit: Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Death Proof, Eagle vs Shark, Boarding Gate, Smokin' Aces, 300, Mr. Brooks

I have no choice but to be a brat and say that I just saw There Will Be Blood at the only screen in NYC that's showing it.

Spoiler alert: It was really good.

I'm jealous. It looks like the movie's not opening in wide release until 1/18.

There's a preview showing in Georgetown tomorrow night at midnight, should any DC-area FOT like to accompany me.

Same here, except I saw it at Tom's favorite LA establishment, the Arclight.
