The first hour alone is enough to put it in my Top 10, but the last 35 mins still sucked huge for me.

1. control. hands down, number 1 for me. i thought it was amazing. the performances, the cinematography, sam riley, the music, the story....
2. no country for old men
3. eastern promises
4. 4 months, 3 weeks and 2 days
5. away from her
6. the wind that shakes the barley
7. hot fuzz

i don't have 10. and i haven't seen anything that sucked, cos i don't watch bad movies.

Originally posted by nadezhda 3. eastern promises

top 10 agreed, but way too similar to "A History of Violence"...

Originally posted by nadezhda 7. hot fuzz

I LOVED that movie. first hour was not too funny, but the way all the jokes pieced together in the last 30 minutes GOLD...Won't be everyone's style but I thought it was classic.

The Worst:

Hands down I Am Legend gets the award for worst cliched film to date. Definately one of the most unoriginal films in a very long time... and to think its opening week beat LoTR - Return Of The King says quite alot. Either people love Will Smith or they just know how to market the man.

Bourne Ultimatum - UGH - I swear it was deja vu when watching it... I fell asleep to that movie 3 times in a row... until I eventually got to the hand to hand combat fight scene the 4th time around. That was quite remarkable. However Paul Greengrass' shaky camera effect is inexcusable. Its the most irritating effect a director could possibly use. Felt like I had some kind of bobble eye syndrome for 2 1/2 hours.

Spider-Man 3 follows - 'nuff said.

The Best:

Shooter - made Jason Bourne look like a joke. Easily put the entire trilogy to shame.

Gone Baby Gone - utter amazement that Ben Affleck managed to pull this off but gladly he only directed and not starred in his directorial debut. Excellent film and one of the best this year.

The Kingdom gets a nod but can't say its up there with the top 10 best. Good films are very hard to come by with the CGI overload during the present time.

No Country For Old Men - haven't had the pleasure to see this film yet.

lol you gotta be kidding! He's easily one of the worst.

Saw a bunch of films this year.

I don't think I have a favourite. Some of the good ones included:

- No Country for Old men
- Tranformers
- SuperBad
- American Gangster


I haven't seen Eastern Promises or the Daniel Day Lewis movie but I'm sure they would make the list. Both look sick!

I didn't really watch the bad movies - I listened to the critics.

My favorite movies of this year though:

Stardust
Superbad
Eastern Promises
Mr. Brooks
Elizabeth: The Golden Age

Those are all I can recall that stand out.

Stardust in particular - but I already love anything that Neil Gaiman does.

def a bunch of movies i have forgotten to see.. this listing has helped me find something to do this holiday

I'm sure I'm missing a couple of movies that I've seen. I've also haven't seen 20 movies this year, so I'll just put down which movies disappointed me as the "worst" (even if they weren't really bad movies, just disappointing), and which movies were actually good as the best. It's also hard to order some of these movies, so I'll just list em in a somewhat descending order:

BEST:

• Disturbia (really suspenseful, kept me glued the entire time)
  
• The Mist (well done movie imo. The twist at the end alone was worth it)
  
• 28 Weeks Later (done RIGHT. some of the scenes were fucking crazy.)
  
• No Country For Old Men (started off really well, but fizzled to a poor ending. It's like they ran out of ideas on how to end it)
  
• Bourne Ultimatum
  
• Superbad (I didn't like it that much at first, but it's definitely the better comedy to have come out this year. Good humour is really lacking in movies recently. Either my standards for "funny" are higher now, or the general public lowered theirs)
  

• Transformers (Each one of these 3 movies has sucked sooooo badly. So unoriginal, so hyped, such a disappointment.)
  
• Spiderman 3 (I felt like my intelligence was insulted after watching each one.)
  
• 300 (They're tied for first place as the worst movies I've seen this year. Hard to pick which one sucked more)
  

• American Gangster (This was allright, but again, overhyped. It brought nothing new to the table, and I walked away from it thinking I've seen yet another gangster movie. Should have been called "Typical gangster movie")
  
• Knocked Up (Kinda funny, but the male protagonist really pissed me off throughout the entire thing. I think he was supposed to be likable tho)
  
• Shooter (Cliched story and dialogue, but was kinda fun to watch)
  
• Epic Movie (i've apparently seen this, but can't remember ANYTHING about it at all, not if it was good, not if it as bad, nothing at all. Although I'm tempted to say these facts imply that it was terrible.)
  
• SAW IV (Not sure where to put this movie. It definitely did the job of grossing me the fuck out, but overall it was stupid, like all the other Saw movies)

im a big time action movie fan...each one of Bays films i can remember are all crazy and over the top ass kicking......
Bad Boys
Bad Boys 2
Armageddon<---kind of sappy,but you got Bruce Willis to even it out
The Rock
The Island

i never seen all of Pearl Harbour but lots of action non the less....

Bay is a big-budget action director... it's what he does... mindless entertainment with the no depth or intelligence (LET'S HIDE THE CUBE IN THE CITY!). You can't make a Transformers movie without it being completely ridiculous. Somebody's gotta do it.

My top of 2007: No Country for Old Men. Simply mindblowing. Sunshine is up there too, followed by Superbad.

Really want to see There Will be Blood, Wind that Shakes the Barley, Atonement, This is England, In the Shadow of the Moon, Juno, plus many others.

My worst of 2007: Across the Universe. Visual artistry was amazing but characters and story fell into all the common musical genre traps. Sweeney Todd was pretty bland too... time for Tim Burton to get off the German expressionism train.

Also, it's worth mentioning that, while I've only seen bits and pieces, the new Blade Runner Final Cut looks pretty damn sweet.

good movies this year

The Bourne Ultimatim
Fracture
Saw 4
Aliens vs Predator 2
Alvin and the Chimpmunks
Hitman
Hatchet
300
Michael Moore's Sicko
Eastern Promises
Rush hour 3
Hostel 2
Rattaouille
The Host
Hot Fuzz

Bad Movies

Rob Zombies Halloween
Pirates of the Caribbean 3

I know who killed me
Simpson's Movie

i agree with the cube bit.....to be fair The Rock and BadBoys had depth to'em prbly cause he wasnt getting thrown money at by the hollywood studios in the old days(and im takin early 90's hahahaha)....

i agree i usually dont like the work of michael bay

however,
i thought transformers was a great action movie and it as a movie did almost everything i wanted it to do.
i think michael bay should be staying away from movies like 'pearl harbor' that are based on historical events because that movie was pretty badly done (in the words of matt stone & trey parker from team america 'i miss you more than michael bay missed the mark when he made pearl harbour, i miss you more than that movie missed the point....why does michael bay get to keep on making movies? i guess pearl harbor sucked...')
but an action movie based on a cartoon with lots of special effects as a necessity (how else you going to get giant robots to run around?) i think he mightve found his niche and i personally am waiting for transformers 2

Michel Gondry (Eternal Sunshine) like trippy visuals plus a heartwarming story of pure inspiration. one of my top films of all time. touching and powerful, please go see this work of art.


the story is on par with 'Life is Beautiful' and the book 'Man's Search for Meaning - Viktor Frankl...... nothing is impossible.

Originally posted by TheDemon good movies this year Alvin and the Chimpmunks

are you kidding me? that movie looked sooo bad. they weren't even close to the same size that the chipmunks were

Death Proof and Planet Terror didn't make anyone's list yet?

Knocked Up, 300, Planet Terror, Death Proof, AVP2, 3:10 to Yuma, Superbad, Zodiac, Eastern Promises, 28 weeks later

worst:

Halloween, 1408, Saw IV

i really wanted to like halloween, and it had its moments but the dialogue was just so bad and rob needs to stop casting his wife, however smoking hot she is.

there were a lot of movies i knew would be bad i didn't see, like resident evil and shoot em up for example and if i had seen them i'm sure they'd make the worst list.

i still need to see juno and no country for old men, but since ill be watching them in 2008..
