2007 Film List

The 2007 Film List thread is mainly for discussing, reviewing and tracking 2007 films. The "Track the films you watch" thread is a great place to keep track of all films watched in a year, though any are welcome to track all their film watching here if they so desire.

This is also a great place to discuss smaller release, independent and foreign films that probably won't get a dedicated review and discussion thread.

And this thread is useful for keeping track of what 2007 films you watched when you're compiling an end of year list or a top ten next December.

Re: 2007 Film List

Switching to a 10 point scale this year because it's easier than a four star scale, imo. I don't do half points unless it's a very rare exception. I try to see only films I think I'll like, so it's rare for me to see films that dip below 4. A 4 is my cut off for a positive rating, only ratings of 3 and below are negative or 'rotten' in the rotten tomatoes sense of the word.

2007 Films Screened:



*edited*
Moved my "films watched" list to the Track The Films You Watch (2007) thread. Seemed more appropriate for that thread thus leaving this one for just 2007 films. I think that's the original intent.

Haven't seen any 2007 Released Films just yet.

Re: 2007 Film List

How to count films like Children of Men, which opened in late 2006 but didn't go wide until Jan. 5, 2007....at least not in my area until then.

Re: 2007 Film List

You can count them as you see fit, but most people list them on when their first US release was, so while you're welcome to put Children of Men in your 2007 top ten, you may be one of only one or two people listing it as such.

Re: 2007 Film List

Farce of the Penguins -

Narrated by Samuel L Jackson and voiced by Bob Sagat and a host of other comedians, this mockumentary is good background noise for a group of friends hanging out. I can't say I paid it especially close attention but it definitely had it's awesome and very funny moments, but it also seemed longer than 80 minutes. The sequence with the Discovery Channel Bloodhound Gang song was inspired.
