Top 10 of 2007

Ryan: I love going to the movies! Furthermore, I really love going to the movies and seeing something exceptional. Each year there are always a handful of movies that stick with you long after you have seen them - movies that are a cut above the rest. 2007 was blessed with some outstanding films in a couple of different genres. Below you will find my Top 10 Films of the past year. Alongside me during all of the movies that I see is a person with an amazing taste in cinema – Jennifer. Her opinion and insight into the movies….is…well…..ALLLMOST as good as mine. Jen? (Her Top 10 is included as well).

Jen: Oh, I see. Now that I have edited YOUR comments above for spelling and grammatical errors, I can get to the matter at hand. It was a pleasure to make countless trips to the movies in 2007, especially the latter part when most of the noteworthy films were released. I see that both of our lists included No Country, Blood, Juno, Once, Charlie Wilson, SuperBad, and Atonement even after being locked in separate rooms while we compiled our lists. I suppose that evidences that these seven flicks were at the top of their game in 2007. I am glad that you included Sicko which had me laughing and crying. Do you think it has a shot for best documentary? The Kite Runner was definitely one of the better films of the year, but it just didn't compare to the book. Bourne was a fun watch and was left nicely open-ended. I was surprised that you gave Mike C. the axe. I thought it was different than the typical thriller/lawyer films that we have seen in recent years and what great performances by Clooney and Wilkinson! Sweeney was dark while being humorous and Helena Bonham Carter almost stole the show from Johnny Depp. Finally, Waitress was so charming and unpretentious - what an original script that showed us quite a different side of pregnancy (Knocked Up did this as well). Thanks for inviting me to share my comments. I look forward to our next trip to the theatre!
