Favorite Movie of 2007

[ATRAIN]

Anyone?? I am still thinking of mine, but it is a tough one.

[MoSpur]

Mine has to be either 3:10 to Yuma or Knocked up.

[Mr. Peabody]

Superbad

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

3:10 To Yuma...without hesitation. The best by far.

[baseline bum]

Superbad easily.

[Spurminator]

According to IMDB, Children of Men was released on January 5, 2007, so that would be mine.

[katyon6th]

Gone Baby Gone
The Bourne Ultimatum

[manustarting2gd]

Superbad... "EVAN, by the end of the summer I willl be the IRON CHEF OF POUNDING VAGGGG!!"

[monosylab1k]

can't say yet, there's still time. There Will Be Blood is comin out in a few weeks.

at the moment it's a 3-way between Superbad, No Country For Old Men, and Juno.

[florige]

Bourne Ultimatum, Transformers...

[MoSpur]

Live Free of Die Hard was entertaining.

[leemajors]

no country for old men, before the devil knows you're dead, knocked up, Darjeeling limited were good. I have to think about my favorite bad movies like hitman and mr brooks further though

[MrChug]

Tossup between "Knocked Up" and "Superbad", but if I had to choose I'd have to go with "Knocked Up''. The fact is that "Superbad" it ended slowly and anti-climactically. I thought it would have been the perfect length if it ended after the party. Then it drug on...but still a HELL of a funny @$$ movie.

[atxrocker]

i must be the only one who thought knocked up was grossly overrated.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Fido.

[mrsmaalox]

Eagle vs. Shark is one; I'm thinking of more.

[703 Spurz]

Transformers!!!

[sa_kid20]

Superbad was super good and gets my vote

[midgetonadonkey]

Karate Kid is my favorite movie every year.

[FromWayDowntown]

The Simpsons movie was my favorite of 2007.

[florige]

no, I'll join you. I can't believe I even see it listed in a "best movie of the year" list.

Transformers? haven't seen it... but I rented it for my 9 yr old kid. How old are we here?

Die Hard was entertaining... better than I expected. Children of Men was excellent... and different...

Haven't seen some of the others listed... 3:10, superbad, No Country...


If thats the case about Transformers, every other superhero movie from Batman, X-Men, Fantastic Four, all of which happenened to have been cartoons but made it to the big screen should only be for kids too by your reasoning.... :rolleyes

[Barbarian]

300, Children of Men, Bourne Ultimatum.....:tu
Ghost Rider, The Number 23, Knocked Up..... :td

[Magic_Johnson]

The Simpsons movie was my favorite of 2007.

:toast

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Ratatouille was a damn good movie.

I didn't even want to shake my niece for making me take her to see it. A first.

[J.T.]

Superbad

[stretch]

Karate Kid is my favorite movie every year.
agreed.

[ploto]

I definitely have different taste in movies- no surprise.

Movies I saw for me-- Waitress and Evening.

Kid movies that surprised me- Surf's Up and Meet the Robinsons.

[leemajors]

meet the robinsons was great. i was very pleasantly surprised by that one.

[BonnerDynasty]

300.

I've always been fascinated by the Greek/Roman eras and loved seeing the Spartans on the big screen.

[SA210]

"We Own the Night" is right up there for me.

[ashbeeigh]

Eagle vs. Shark is one; I'm thinking of more.

:tu That was an amazing movie! The little apple animations were so on target.

My favorite movie, though, is August Rush.

[Flo-Rida]

wallace and gromit

[CuckingFunt]

There are too many I still want to see to answer.

Just saw No Country for Old Men yesterday, though, and thought it was amazing. The preview for There Will Be Blood looked good, too.

[MrChug]

The Simpsons movie was my favorite of 2007.

Yah, I forgot how satisfied I was walking out of that movie...cheers :spin

[marini martini]

Yah, I forgot how satisfied I was walking out of that movie...cheers :spin

Just got it for my Hoe Bo for Christsmas, today :toast

[UV Ray]

Anyone see Into The Wild?

[dickface]

Anyone see Into The Wild?
no but i've heard alot of good things about it.

[UV Ray]

No Country, Juno among AFI's top 10 of 2007

AP

December 18, 2007

Los Angeles -- No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood and Michael Clayton were among critical favourites that have landed on the American Film Institute's list of the year's 10 best movies.

Also on the AFI's list are Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Into the Wild, the pregnancy comedies Juno and Knocked Up (both of which star Canadians - Ellen Page and Seth Rogen, respectively), the animated Ratatouille and The Savages.

The institute does not rank films or pick one as the year's best. The filmmakers behind the top-10 choices will be honoured at a luncheon Jan. 11.

Many of the films picked up Golden Globe nominations last week and are expected to compete for Academy Awards.

I remember people cheered when Marge said gawd damn. That was a good sequence and fit in perfectly with the situation.

[Spurminator]

Anyone see Into The Wild?


My 2nd favorite movie of 2007

[robino2001]

So I keep track of what movies I watch each year online and rate them, etc (I know, pretty nerdy)... the only movie I gave a A this year I watched was Last King of Scotland which came out last year. From this year, I had Ocean's Thirteen and Shooter (surprisingly good I thought) with B+'s as the highest. I'm pretty picky when rating movies though...

[Jimcs50]

Three favs, separated by the slimmest of margins....too close to call.


3:10 to Yuma

Dan in Real Life

Die Hard 4

[BonnerDynasty]

Shooter was alright but just another clone of every other action movie. That FBI becoming a world class sniper over night was pretty stupid.

I was really disappointed with 3:10 To Yuma. I love westerns and figured I would love it ever since I heard about it. But it wasn't that interesting to me.

[Xylus]

Hot Fuzz
3:10 To Yuma
Children of Men (I could have sworn that movie came out in 2006...)
No Country for Old Men
Simpsons Movie
Superbad
Eastern Promises
The first 60 minutes of I Am Legend

I still need to see Juno and the Bourne Ultimatum.

[leemajors]

i forgot about hot fuzz, that movie kicked ass.

[CuckingFunt]

Children of Men (I could have sworn that movie came out in 2006...)
It got a limited release in the tail end of 2006 for award contention. Went wide in January of this year.

[ATRAIN]

I thought Hot Fuzz was last year!! Oh yeah I forgot Planet Terror!!

[Cry Havoc]

Children of Men
Superbad
The Simpsons
No Country for Old Men

All are fantastic movies.

[SAtoDallas]

3:10 to Yuma and Superbad.

[peewee's lovechild]

Children of Men.

[peewee's lovechild]

Eastern Promises was pretty damn good too.

[SA210]

The Assasination of Jesse James

[leemajors]

i am seeing my favorite movie of the year tomorrow - NATIONAL TREASURE 2: BOOK OF SECRETS!!!!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

3:10 to Yuma is disqualified for me due to the horrible horrible ending. Great movie, until the end. I'm currently watching Eastern Promises and so far its great.

Superbad was excellent and made me laugh to an insane degree so its up there.

However, if I had to pick best movie of the year for me so far it would have to be the Bourne Ultimatum. It was just really really really good.

[SCdac]

Really too hard to pick just one this year. Maybe, if I hadn't seen so many films it'd be easier to pick 2 or 3, but it's tough to exclude great films from a personal-favorites list.

Some really strong comedies came out, so I'll break my favorites up into "comedy" and "non-comedy".

Favorite comedy
1. Knocked Up
2. Walk Hard
3. Superbad
4. Juno
5. Darjeeling Limited
6. Hot Fuzz
7. Simpsons Movie
8. Aqua Teen movie
9. Talk to Me
10. Ratatouille


Favorite non-comedy
1. No Country For Old Men
2. Away From Her
3. Grindhouse (loved the double feature)
4. Sweeney Todd
5. Sunshine
6. Rescue Dawn
7. Eastern Promises
8. Shoot 'Em Up
9. The Namesake
10. The Mist

A few honorable mentions: The Orphanage, Zodiac, American Gangster, 300, and Lars and the Real Girl.

[resistanze]

[Phil Hellmuth]

[ATRAIN]

Children of Men.


I just saw that last week and thought it was pretty damn good, but for some reason I expected it to be better.

[ATRAIN]

Eastern Promises was pretty damn good too.


Saw that last night.......besides the nakedness that fight scene in the bath house was pretty bad ass.

I have been wanting to watch rescue dawn, was it that good?

[SCdac]

I have been wanting to watch rescue dawn, was it that good?

I loved it. Bale's performance is one of the best of the year, and Zahn is great too. The cinematography is superb. Some of the pan-from-side-to-side shots in the jungle are amazing. I'm not too familiar with Werner Herzog, but I'm certainly a fan now.

[SCdac]

I forgot to mention one of the best Sci-Fi / Fantasy movies of the year (no exaggeration). Never saw the first, but this sequel was such a pleasant suprise. I need to grab it on DVD.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/4d/Day_Watch_theatrical_poster.jpg

[MannyIsGod]

Bale is a really fucking good actor. I don't think I've ever seen him mess up a role. Ever.

[T Park]

Me personally,

I liked the PIrates of the Carribean movie, and Ocean's 13.

Didn't get to see much else.

[leemajors]

i saw avp-r earlier, it was hilarious.

[slayermin]

I still haven't seen several movies I have on my watch list.

But the top five I have seen this year.

SuperBad
Deathproof
Knocked UP
Darjeeling Limited
Zodiac

[katyon6th]

JUNO

Watch it. ASAP.

DUDE yes forgot about that!! I can't wait for the third part.

[ATRAIN]

Bale is a really fucking good actor. I don't think I've ever seen him mess up a role. Ever.


LOL manny do you have a hard on for Bale??? I do admit he is a great actor, but he will never top his performance in American Psycho!!

[L.I.T]

I didn't expect to like Ratatouille as much as I did, but when I look back on the year (one that was just ok for movies) I enjoyed that one the most.

Rescue Dawn, Hot Fuzz, Black Snake Moan, Gone Baby Gone, Lust, Caution, No Country for Old Men were all great as well.

Haven't seen Atonement, The Kite Runner, Juno or Black Book yet though (haven't opened where I'm at).

[PakiDan]

Sunshine
3:10 To Yuma
Superbad
Children Of Men

[Oh, Gee!!]

Superbad

fo' sho!!

[PakiDan]

Sunshine
3:10 To Yuma

Am I the only one who was kind of dumbfounded by No Country for Old Men... maybe I should have paid attention during the rambling dialogue... What kind of ending was that? Somebody please explain....

Second for me is a tie between Superbad, Knocked Up, and Transformers.

I've had Nightwatch sitting on my desk for months now and haven't watched it yet. Anyone know if it's good?

[JoeChalupa]

300

[atxrocker]

count me in as an eastern promises fan. movie was fucking good. imo, eastern promises>>no country. maybe it's because it wasn't as overrated.

[timvp]

I didn't watch a movie in 2007.

:guin

[RIP CITY]

Tranformers, Smokin Aces, 300, No Country for Old Men. Those were the best ones I saw from this year.
