Re: Favorites of 2007?
As I mentioned elsewhere, I loved Juno. Thought it was outstanding. It wasn't my favorite from 2007, but its definitely near the top.
"Once there were brook trout in the streams in the mountains. You could see them standing in the amber current where the white edges of their fins wimpled softly in the flow. They smelled of moss in your hand. Polished and muscular and torsional. On their backs were vermiculate patterns that were maps of the world in its becoming. Maps and mazes. Of a thing which could not be put back. Not be made right again. In the deep glens where they lived all things were older than man and they hummed of mystery."

Re: Favorites of 2007?
I've not seen Juno. I wanted to, but I'm so fucking sick of seeing ads for the DVD. I'll wait about a month till it cools off, at which point the DVD will probably be $5 anyway.

Re: Favorites of 2007?
Revised the list since I watched Evan Almighty and caught part of 300 again. I liked Smokin' Aces and Evan Almighty equally so I just listed those 2 in the order I saw them.
Stardust
300
Smokin' Aces
Evan Almighty
Blades of Glory
Beowulf
I caught part of Fantastic Four/Silver Surfer this weekend, but it didn't hold my interest. Didn't see enough of it to make the list.
The Simpsons Movie is supposed to be on HBO sooner or later. I'll adjust the list when I see it.

Re: Favorites of 2007?
I watched American Gangster yesterday which definitely made my Favorites of '07 list!

The Simpsons Movie (finally saw it on HBO) Better than I expected.
Smokin' Aces
Evan Almighty
Shrek the Third (watched most of it with the kids)
Blades of Glory
Beowulf
I also caught part of Mr. Bean's Holiday, but didn't see enough to pass judgment, but it would probably end up being in the middle to lower half of the list.
