1. THERE WILL BE BLOOD
The reason I go to the movies. After waiting for this film for more than 2 1/2 years I was worried there was no way it could live up to my expectations. And it didn't, it completely circumvented and surpassed everything I thought this film might be. Paul Thomas Anderson proves he is more than just my favorite writer/director, but probably the greatest filmmaker working today. Daniel Day Lewis owns every frame of this film. A hundred times better than anything else I saw this year. I've seen it twice and I can't wait to see it again.

2. KNOCKED UP
The funniest movie of the year. Judd Apatow moves closer to fulfilling the promise of Freaks & Geeks on the big screen by adding more heart to the comedy.
3. RATATOUILLE
Brad Bird pulls off another miracle. I want to move to Pixar's Paris.
4. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
Thank God the Coens are back! While it's not my favorite of their films this sparse thriller reminiscent of Blood Simple and Fargo certainly absolves them of their past sins.

5. ZODIAC
An engrossing, frustrating film that was not at all what I expected but is an exciting new direction for Fincher.
6. JUNO
A very sweet, surprisingly poignant movie. Credit Jason Reitman for hitting exactly the right tone balancing the stylized dialogue with the tender moments. Avoids cliches, never becomes too sitcom-y and the cast is great all around.
7. GRINDHOUSE
I watched the extended Planet Terror the other night and it really just does not work without an audience. The extra scenes only slow the film down so I can only imagine how poorly Death Proof suffers from the extra weight. However seeing the full Grindhouse experience in the theatre with an audience was an incredibly fun kickass night at the movies.

8. SUPERBAD
The 2nd best Apatow/Rogen film of the year really captured my high school experience.
9. THE DARJEELING LIMITED
While it can't touch his earlier work, I still enjoyed Wes latest film. It's good, but not quite funny or touching enough to be great. He is officially in a rut.
10. SWEENEY TODD: THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET
The cast is great, the ending is brutal and bleak, and the story seems tailor-made for Burton, who delivers his best film since Sleepy Hollow.
NOTABLE: 300, 3:10 To Yuma, The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Black Book, Black Snake Moan, Control, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hot Fuzz, I'm Not There, Son Of Rambow.

I've actually seen most of what I want to see, but I'm only comfortable with a top 5 right now. I'll do a top 10 when I've really seen everything.
1. There Will Be Blood
2. Across the Universe
3. Sicko
4. 28 Weeks Later
5. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
1. Exiled.
And I don't intend this to be a kind of kitsch selection. I mean this film, for me, eleminated once and for all the genre/proper art film line. Whatever the difference can be defined as has simply become an unimportant consideration. This movie's just plain fucking great and I keep thinking about it. Triad Election might be a 2007 pick too and it'll probably wear with less severity than Exiled.
2. Brand Upon the Brain!.
If you saw it with the live narrator and foley crew you know what I mean. What other cinema experience did I have as memorable as that one?
3. Eastern Promises.
My initial post (after seeing the film) in this film's thread is still my final reaction. For me it was like:
4. No Country For Old Men.
Which I now pretty much see as for the Coen canon what I see Eatern Promises being for the Cronenberg canon. Switch these two around if you want. I just saw Eastern Promises first. I think the extent of No Country's departure from recent Conen material amplifies the ambitions of the film, like you can call it a return to form for them, while Spider wasn't even that far back and I really liked Spider. But what these films obviously share is an appreciation of tone mood pacing suspense and genre deconstruction. They're both fucking excellent at it, I don't mean to compare them sorry.
5. We Own the Night.
And I kind of mean in a kitsch way but not entirely. It did some things really, really well but it retreaded a lot of ground. It was deliberately heading somewhere without resorting to off-the-wall absurditing like a Running Scared or Shoot 'Em Up (the plot logistics exempted). I liked Vacancy too though so. . .but p.s. I think this film is a thousand times more imaginitive and playful than American Gangster or Michael Clayton and that's the last I'll say about that.
6. The Darjeeling Limited.
He's getting better and better. I've posted about this.
7. I'm Not There/Persepolis/The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
Some people have been beating these films down for me and because I can't properly defend all the accusations I can't honestly say they're amazing but they're equally genuine and compassionate and rewarding. I want to not forget these films.
8. Paris, je t'aime.
Maybe like some people have a romantic soft-spot for Paris.
9. The King of Kong/Crazy Love/Lake of Fire.
I really enjoyed these documentaries this year. I'm finding much less subjectivity when it comes to documentaries. It's well made or it isn't, it's successful or it's not. These work.
10. Fido.
It'd be higher but I sense diminishing enjoyment. Appropriatley like films with this tone that don't have as outrageous of a concept. It's cool but limiting to create a fantasy around an already exaggerated and possibly ficticious tv-made image of 50s America. Black Snake Moan might be the Southern equivalent of this.
word up without a horse. if exiled wasn't on my 2006 already, I'd wear that shit proudly. it's weird that they pushed Triad Election when it was a sequel to Election (or maybe just two halves of a movie). Election was pretty effing great, and it felt more relevant to the world-at-large. You definitely have to see that. That one was on my 2005 list.
1. there will be blood
i havent seen this.
2. zodiac
a perfect movie. what makes it so amazing for me was what fincher and whoever wrote the screenplay achieved here. its a drawn out, comprehensive rundown of the zodiac case that doesnt bow to any genre and doesnt make any attempt at sensationalism but is still consistently captivating and filled with moments that are completely unforgettable (the murder at the lake, the interrogation, the breakfast). its a most mature and downright horrifying study on human darkness. finchers direction is masterful in every frame. i consider this one of the best movies ever made.
3. no country for old men
right from tommy lees amazing opening monologue i was in this movies grip. the coens use genre and audience expectations against them to create a powerful, haunting masterpiece.
4. inland empire
this movie is a wank. a big, wonderful wank that had me in a 3 hour trance in which lynch was in full control of my emotions. it kicked my ass like no other movie ever has.
5. eastern promises
any flaw in this awesome film is a product of its screenplay, cronenbergs direction is immaculate. i love the alien london cronenberg creates, home to this fancy, appealing russian restaurant where these disturbing and evil things are happening. conenbergs taken a good screenplay and turned it into something great.
6. the darjeeling limited
i didnt like it as much as life aquatic (which i liked waay more than most people), but its never the less another great film from wes. even tho it sometimes feels like he's remaking the same movie, his films are evident that hes really growing emotionally, and thats always rewarding to watch.
7. knocked up
very funny, very moving. a near-perfect comedy.
8. ratatouille
great, but i was hoping for a little more from bird and pixar. the fact this isnt in the top 5 makes it a slight disappointment.
9. bourne ultimatum
i really like greengrass and this movie embraced everything ive come to love about his style.
10. superbad
fucking hilarious, plain and simple.
theres so much i still have to seen. namely: lust caution, across the universe, into the wild, atonement, walk hard, sweeney todd, juno

well maybe you should stop watching the nickelodeon kid's choice awards and start paying attention to real awards, because evidently you would familiarise yourself with great films that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Personally, I would. For a lot of people the DVD release was their first chance to really see the film. It seems silly contribute a film to a 2006 date 8 months after the year ended.
i'm not ready for ten:
1. There Will be Blood
2. No Country for Old Men
3. Zodiac
Quote from: reinhold on January 19, 2008, 12:55:23 PM

No. It had a limited US release in 2006, like so many other movies that were counted for 2006.

Yea, but unlike those movies, it didn't have a DVD release at the beginning of the next year. Some consideration should be taken for how unique the release of the film was.
IE made my 2006 list in any case. if the dvd release counted it would top this list with Killer of Sheep given that film's DVD release in 2007.
i don't have a solid list of 10 yet.
1. No Country For Old Men
2. Zodiac
3. There Will Be Blood
4. Eastern Promises
5. Knocked Up

i even still can't believe you guys are serious!
I've been holding off posting my list, as there's still one or two films I've still to see. Right up until December I kept saying that 2007 was a great year for cinema, but now I'm looking back I can't help but feel it was lacking in someway. I don't know what it is, I've seen a lot of big movies lately. I've really been cramming them in, but for whatever reason nothing I've seen recently has really sucked me in or blown me away. And I don't know why... Maybe my expectations were too high? If so, I guess I should stop looking forward to The Incredible Hulk, Crystal Skull, XF2 and Wall-E right now....
But anyway, here is my tentative list of my favorite 10 films of 2007 (subject to change come voting time):
1. This Is England
2. Zodiac
3. The Darjeeling Limited
4. Atonement
5. Ratatouille
6. Knocked Up
7. Inland Empire (I know, I know, but I didn't even get to see it in the theater until February)
8. There Will Be Blood
9. No Country For Old Men
10. The Painted Veil
knocked up before blood? :?

I don't think I can do a top 10 list for 2007. Very few movies made an impact on me. But there are enough for a top 5.
1. There Will Be Blood.

2. Zodiac
3. The Assassination of Jessie James By The Coward Robert Ford
4. No Country For Old Men
5. Grindhouse
6. Ratatouille
7. Superbad/Knocked Up
8. Into The Wild
9. I'm Not There
10. Margot At The Wedding
Haven't seen Diving Bell, Atonement, Michael Clayton.... and I'm sure there are probably films that aren't even on my radar that would easily render most of these useless. But, right now, this list feels right to me. Plus, I don't think I've had this strong of a "top 3" in some time. Each one makes me remember how silly and absurd it is to numerically rate the merit of films I enjoy in an allotted period of time. But I do it anyway.
I've got this sneaking suspicison that Ratatouille will top out Persepolis for Best Animated Feature.
Do not fall into this trap when Xixax awards roll around.
it may have something to do with the fact that people have actually seen ratatouille. thanks for the mention though, i now know the film exists and will try and see it before voting.
It's all I ask.
1. There Will Be Blood
2. Zodiac
3. The Assassination of Jesse James
4. I'm Not There
5. No Country for Old Men
6. Lars and the Real Girl
7. Fido (Did anyone see this?)
8. Juno
9. Black Snake Moan
10. 3:10 to Yuma
2. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (why hasn't everyone here seen this film yet?!)
3. Ratatouille
4. No Country For Old Men
5. Zodiac
6. The Lives of Others
7. Grindhouse
8. Once
9. The Darjeeling Limited
10. Perfume
1. Zodiac
2. Michael Clayton
3. No Country For Old Men
4. There Will Be Blood
5. I'm Not There
6. Across The Universe
7. The Darjeeling Limited
8. Into The Wild
9. Knocked Up/Superbad
10. The Assassination of Jesse James
1. There Will Be Blood
2. No Country for Old Men
3. Superbad
4. Eastern Promises
5. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days
Best "Worst Movie" of the year:

Movies I still need to see that may have made the above list:
The Savages
Atonement
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Michael Clayton
Juno
I'm still in the process of catching up on films I've missed but so far, these are the films that stayed with me long after I came out of the theater.
1. THERE WILL BE BLOOD

every list where Blood isn't number one makes me angry. :yabbse-undecided:
yeah for real. and some had movies such as Knocked Up and Grindhouse above it. and some didn't include it at all!!
after reading this thread im left with one question: why didn't i love Zodiac as much as you all did?
i feel left out of something. i'm just not sure what it is.
:(

Lot's of really good films this year and a few great ones.
Still to be seen: Michael Clayton and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
My two biggest disappointments of the year, in a "This could have been so much better" way are Spider-man 3 and The Golden Compass.
ZODIAC sunshine THERE WILL BE BLOOD across the universe NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN eastern promises 300 the lookout THE BORNE ULTIMATUM knocked up....yeah, theres still alot i need to see :(
1. Zodiac
2. Lake of Fire
3. No Country For Old Men
4. There Will Be Blood
5. The Assassination of Jesse James
6. Eastern Promises
7. Persepolis
8. Knocked Up
9. Superbad
10. Lynch (one)
I'm not going to pretend I've seen every contender best film of the year. I don't have a Top Ten list and probably never will do another full one, but it's good to distinguish the genuinely great works of last year:
Good Art: Alexander Revisited, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and Michael Clayton.
Good Entertainment: Ratatouille and The Bourne Ultimatum.
That's it. I'm not a movie buff. I don't make too much out of the simple enjoyment a lot of movies possess. I believe in the idea that 95% of films made suck. I also just looked back and was pleased whenever I saw a list that didn't have There Will be Blood anywhere on it or had better movies like Super Bad or Knocked Up ahead of it. Haha, good fun.
not to be an asshole or anything, you're entitled to your opinion, and you're entitled to think it's better than everyone else's, but saying super bad and knocked up are better movies than blood is a little inconsistent with your method of separating art from entertainment.

Decent entertainment trumps awful art.

to clarify, in case it wasn't obvious, i wasn't implying that blood is better than either of those movies because it's art. it is, but that wasn't what i was getting at.

I'd be interested in an explanation because I don't follow. I'm not trying to be a prick.

neither am i. it just seemed like you were contradicting yourself a little making that assessment (sb/ku > cmbb) after refusing to rank art amongst entertainment, which is what everyone else is doing. though after reviewing your post, it doesn't appear you were even ranking the films you mentioned, which is what i originally thought you were doing.
because i haven't done a top ten for a few years and this year was absolutely amazing and i got to see most of the great movies i did a top 30.

godammit, how am I supposed to check out the movies you love if I don't know what they are?
you can ask if you want. i don't think the images i used are any more abstract than most of the other title-less pictolists. except 3 and 4 .. & 6 ... maybe 7. but i was kinda taking the piss considering i had already offered a list. i agree that the concept is a bit silly.
it's not like i have anything obscure on there that hasn't already been listed a dozen times anyway. other than lust, caution which is officially the most underrated movie of 07.
I saw lust caution and still had no idea. I really think that posting titles, however tacky, god forbid, it might be, would be very helpful.
Lust, Caution = #4, right? #6 is on the tip of my tongue.
I'm not complaining, though. I do love the independent images.
