My top 10 movies of 2007; I’d written it out with links to my post on each one, but then my browser ate it, so we’re trying to get it up just in the nick of Oscar. This is obviously a totally subjective list, but I think for the first time in almost ever my actual favourite movie of the year might win the Oscar. (That I wrote that this means Juno will probably win.)

  1. No Country For Old Men
  2. There Will Be Blood
  3. Lust, Caution
  4. Persepolis
  5. I’m Not There
  6. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
  7. The Darjeeling Limited
  8. A Mighty Heart
  9. Superbad
  10. Grindhouse

Best movie I saw in theatres that wasn’t actually a 2007 film but finally got the theatrical release it so richly deserved: Killer of Sheep.

Honourable mentions: Waitress, Sunshine, Juno, Atonement, Eastern Promises, Across the Universe, Sweeney Todd, Rescue Dawn, 28 Weeks Later.

Big movies I didn’t see and so have been left off my list: American Gangster, Away From Her, The Savages, Margot at the Wedding, Michael Clayton, Gone Baby Gone.
