Top Ten Films of 2007:
1. No Country for Old Men
2. Pete Seeger: The Power of Song / The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
3. Superbad
4. Into the Wild
5. Zodiac
6. Knocked Up
7. Once
8. There Will Be Blood
9. La Vie en Rose
10. Rescue Dawn
Notables:
Breach, Darjeeling Limited, Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With, The Lookout, The Namesake, The Wind that Shakes the Barley, The TV Set, No End In Sight
Didn't see yet: The Savages, Persepolis, Jesse James, Black Book, Ratatouille, Charlie Wilson's War, This is England, I'm Not There
Overated as fuck: Juno
Disappointing: Walk Hard, Atonement, Margot at the Wedding – some great bits of dialog but a step down from The Squid and the Whale (and about 10 steps down from Kicking and Screaming) Hopefully Baumbach rebounds to old form
Awful: any of the roughly 56 movies that Dane Cook starred in in 2007 – Dane Cook is the best argument for any pro-abortion law

I'm surprised you haven't seen This is England, it's quite good even though it came out in 2006.
I am very pleased to King of Kong up there, did you by chance recommend this to Grebutron?
as readers will know, i too liked kok, but idk if it belongs that far up the list.
on a side note, welcome back towny.
