Best movies of 2007

There weren't a lot of great movies in 2007. My favorite this year was American Gangster.

Some lists from around the web. What do you think of them? I think they highlight the general suckiness of today's movies.

I can't wait to watch this movie. I've heard such great things about it. Everything else on that list... meh.

NYC4ever · 12-21-2007, 06:57 PM

I saw all those movies this year. Knocked Up was great, but I still think 40 Year Old Virgin is the greatest from that producer/director.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry was pretty well done, it had a good meaning to it regarding Gays also.

I have my own little list:

Becoming Jane, Pirates 3, Rush Hour 3, Atonement, Alvin and The Chipmunks, P.S., I love You and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber From Fleet Street

I love those movies. There was a lot of good movies this year.

40 Year Old Virgin is an instant classic. I loved that movie too. People are usually pretty surprised when I say that. Apparently girls are not suppose to love this movie.

NYC4ever · 12-23-2007, 08:55 PM

yeah 40 year old virgin was pretty funny

In 2007, I saw Fantastic 4 and Ghost Rider with my kids and husband and I thought both were pretty good. My kids and husband went to see National Treasure also. We subscribe to Blockbuster online so we usually end up waiting for movies to go to DVD but some movies you just have to see on the big screen, know what I mean?
