Best and Worst Movies of 2007

It's a little late but who cares right. Here is my list for favorite and worst films of 2007. They're in no particular order and I judge them on pure enjoyment. I'll admit some of the films aren't great but I had fun watching them. Plus I don't have the opportunity to watch every film that comes out (although it's pretty damn close) so I know I'm missing out on some really awesome films that I should include.

Across the Universe: a wonderfully stylish musical love story set to the tunes of The Beatles
Alpha Dog: Don't let the fact JT stars in it throw you off, it's quite the story and well acted.
Bridge to Terabithia: Saw this on the plane to Toronto and I'm glad I did. It has quite the sad ending that you never see coming.
Disturbia: Rear Window on crack as I call it.
DOA: Dead or Alive: This movie was so bad that it was good.
Enchanted: It's weird but this one made me feel young again. Great date film.
Good Luck Chuck: Glad this was an "R" rated comedy if it wasn't it wouldn't have been any good.
The Invisible: Awesome soundtrack, definitely a cool film for people in my age group. In a way it was a cheesy film but it was a fun cheese.
The Kingdom: The last 30 minutes or so is edge of your seat awesomeness
Lucky You: Your hooked by the first scene. If that doesn't do it just turn it off.
The Mist: Quite intense once they start talking about humanity and religion.
Next: Don't judge this film by the trailer or Nic Cage's hair
Reign Over Me: A touching drama.
Severance: I think I enjoyed this one even more than Shaun of the Dead.
Shoot 'Em Up: Absurdity at it's best. Great film to watch with a group of people.
Smokin' Aces: Awesome in the way a film like Snatch is awesome.
Stardust: Reminiscent of a fantasy film of the 80's designed for adults.
Superbad: The most quoted film of the year? I am McLovin
Transformers: Awesome on so many levels
Wild Hogs: A great comedy for older people.
Zodiac: Fincher Rocks!


I don't have a lot of films I really disliked namely b/c I don't go to a film thinking that it is going to suck ahead of time. I sure there was a lot more crap this year but I saved my time for even watching them.

Captivity: You know the whole film from the trailer.
The Condemned: How could they have fucked this one up. They had a great plot but didn't deliver.
Dead Silence: Only the ending was good. Up to that point it was a horrible horror film, only a five year old would be scared of it.
Evan Almighty: Ouch! So not funny.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix: Boring!
I Am Legend: Disappointed! I was picking this apart from the start. If you've read the book you'll feel the same way.
The Number 23: a bad thriller
Premonition: What a piece of shit!
War: Drag's on and on.

Everything else I saw falls somewhere in the middle. The films I wish I got to see last year:
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
Atonement
The Darjeeling Limited
Eagle vs Shark
88 Minutes
Gone Baby Gone
The Jane Austen Book Club
Juno
Macbeth
The Nines
Southland Tales
Weirdsville
