Now, I don’t go to see a huge number of movies in the theater, but it seems to me that 2007 was a really, really good year for movies. Now that I’ve seen There Will Be Blood, I can finally compile my own personal list of my favourite movies of 2007. Yes, I pretty much have gripped life by the balls.
My five favourite films of 2007, in order:
- No Country for Old Men. The deepest, most complex and terrifying film of the Coen brothers’ career.
- Juno. The warmest, funniest movie I saw in 2007.
- Zodiac. Kind of the anti-serial-killer-movie movie. I love it for its obsessive approach to obsession.
- Once. Enough to make even a lonely cynic like me believe in love.
- Rescue Dawn. Genre film that also manages to be a challenging dissection of Herzog’s favourite themes.
And five other films I liked a lot: There Will Be Blood, Knocked Up, Hot Fuzz, Into the Wild, Death Proof.
