What made your best of list?
Into The Wild
Best movie of the year.
Fantastic script, top notch acting, and the story is just heartbreaking.
Hal Holbrook almost steals the film. Best performance of the year.
Sean Penn did a great job directing as well. Five Stars!
Once
The best soundtrack by far. All the music by and starring Glen Hansard & Mark
Yeah, Ratatouille was probably one of the best movies I saw that came out in 2007, and I normally don’t go for those CG movies. I really can’t think of much that I thought was very good. I guess the Simpsons movie (upon rewatching it) isn’t as terrible as I thought it was at first. Most of the movies I saw were just terrible though.
I only saw two new movies this year. One was Spider Man 3 which had good action but other than that, everything else was dreadful. Too many characters, inane plot, lame ending. Venom shouldn’t have even been in this movie.
I also saw Pirates 3 which was good. Johnny Depp’s really good as Sparrow and him and Geoffrey Rush carry the whole movie. The ending is quite silly since they rally the entire pirate clan to fight with them in a war but then the only ships that fight are three of them as everyone just sits there and watches. The plot was unraveled in the end but unlike in Spider Man 3, it didn’t ruin the movie.

hmmm…
yeah, Into the Wild for sure.
i also loved 30 Days of Night, though i doubt that’ll make it onto too many peeps best of 07 lists.
Sweeny Todd was technically released in 07, so that definately makes it.
i’ll throw I Am Legend in there too.
No Country for Old Men/Eastern Promises/Juno
juno was great…did it come out in 2007? whatever…that gets my vote.
i still think superbad was funny as fuck.
I saw Juno on Christmas just before we hit the Chinese restaurant.
no country
into the wild
there will be blood
prob a few others, but those are the three i liked the most, into the wild and there will be blood batteling it out for the numero uno slot
TRANSFORMERS hands down best movie i saw,i was fuckin grinning ear to ear the whole movie ;D
::smacks sarcasm meter::
Is this thing working? That last post reeks of sarcasm, but I think it’s serious.
I didn’t see many movies this year (or many that were memorable at least). I’d have to go with Superbad as my favorite. I laughed initially and again upon re-viewing, a keeper for sure.
Eastern Promises, Fracture, Beowulf 3D…although probably wouldn’t think it was that good if it wasn’t 3D.
Doesn’t “No Country” have this totally inane ending that almost kills the movie? I have a number of friends that say the movie is awesome except the last 20 minutes. I’ll probably still rent it since I like the Coens but this seems alarming to me…

well it based on the book so its not like theyre just doing it for the hell of it
I liked Potter 5, Pirates 3, Knocked Up, 300, Apocalypto and others… like… Pam does Karl in the backseat… ::grumbles:: Golden Compass was kind of a flop but entertaining so I’ll give it an honorable mention.
Oh and I liked Transformers too.
Into the Wild definitely gets my number 1. The Simpsons movie was great, as was the Futurama movie. Superbad was the funneist. Die Hard 4 was the hardcorest.
ooh, 300. forgot about that one. top 5.
was Pan’s Labrynth an 07 release? if so, top 5.
there’s at least 6 movies in my top 5.
Charlie Wilson’s War in addition to some of the ones already posted here.
What are the odds Cloverfield has a bigger opening weekend than I Am Legend?
Anyone?
I’ll give 3:2.
oh i think it will. all that sneaky advertising.
Yeah, JJ Abram’s name on it will get all the geek crowds to it. Of course, it’s basically just a Godzilla flick with bad camera work.
