I find your pick for #1 interesting. I agree that it was a good movie. However, it took me a bit to realize why I liked it so much. I guess it turns out that while I enjoy various genre’s, it’s always the fun movies that I end up liking the most.

I guess a lot of people go to movies that move them emotionally, make them cry, examine a moral dilemma, etc. I know a lot of people who like movies that make some sort of intellectual point. I don’t know if they really like them, of if they just think it makes them look like a serious student of film.

Frankly, I deal with enough serious issues in my life. I wanna see ‘em blow shit up! On that, Bourne delivers.

I didn’t get to see very many movies in 2007. Some of your list didn’t even have showings where I live. I guess this is a good start on my netflix for the next few months.

Thanks for a great year of news and opinions!

You hit it on the head kettch. I love those cerebral films that make me think, but when it comes to naming my top ten I always look for those films that I will watch over and over again. If they are the thinkers then so be it, but as much as I enjoyed No Country for Old Men I will be watching Bourne Ultimatum far more times on DVD.

Thanks for reading, hopefully ‘08 will be just as good as ‘07!

there will be blood

Love your criteria: Films you actually enjoyed and would watch over and over again. Some 2007 movies were indeed excellent, but I wouldn’t watch them again for all the money in the world (hello No Country). Others you enjoyed, but uickly forgot (Transformers, Die Hard). As such, I’ll keep your number 1, but I have to add:
2) Gone, Baby, Gone- I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I hope Ben Affleck NEVER acts again and concentrates in directing instead.
3) Michael Clayton
4) Juno
5) 3:10 to Yuma (Ben Foster was magnificent)
6) Knocked Up
7) Into the Wild
8) Atonement
9) Superbad
10) The Orphanage

my top ten movie’s are…

#1 i am legend
#2 hancock
#3 irobot
#4 iron man
#5 twilight
#6 the dark night
#7 drillbit taylor
#8 madagascar 2
#9 cheaper by the dozen
#10 disturbia
