It's that time again. We're half-way through the year. What are your picks so far?

Grindhouse

Didn't see 28 Weeks Later, Knocked Up, Hot Fuzz, 1408, Bug + more...

Edit:

I am adding *Zodiac (because I forgot about it with all the shit I've been seeing recently) and so far for my number one, *Paris, je t'aime
(even though I just came out from seeing it tonight, I realize that more fortunate individuals may have had the privilege of seeing this gem closer to its 2006 release date... so it may not count)

A Matter Of Chance

Colossal Youth and Day Night Day Night

Still dying to see Ratatouille

How/where did you see this?! Insanely jealous.

Zodiac, Knocked Up and Ratatouille are the only films worth remembering so far this year that I've been able to see. Hopefully Rescue Dawn will live up to my expectations on Wednesday.

Does Killer of Sheep count?  hey mod.  i'm not feeling listy, but zodiac and ratatouille were excellent, as was hannah takes the stairs.  i didn't love brand upon the brain! like i thought i would have and grind house was terrible. its been a pretty lame year so far, but the second half of 2007 looks really great.

In no particular order... some of the films I liked this year so far are:

- Knocked Up
- Mr. Brooks
- Ratatouille
- Sicko

I could put 300, Breach, Oceans 13 and Fracture there too but for sure they will not make it to the end of the year. Still, we have a long way to go...

Does Killer of Sheep count?  

Definitely, since it was never released at all until this year. It's at the top of my list, followed by

Syndromes And A Century
Zodiac
I Don't Want To Sleep Alone
Knocked Up

And, as yet unreleased but seen at festivals,

Low And Behold
The Unforeseen
Frownland

Haven't seen Ratatouille yet, but I'm sure it'll be up there. And I think Inland Empire can count for this year, since that's when most of the country saw it.

Best:

1. Inland Empire
2. Grindhouse
3. The Hoax
4. Brand Upon the Brain!

Worst:

1. Spiderman 3
2. 300

A Movie I Didn't Mind Paying For:

1. PotC: At World's End

pretty much every movie I've seen this year is pretty good, with the exception of the year of the dog.
