Shotgun Stories, Margot at the Wedding, Brand Upon the Brain!, Bug. No idea if you'd like any of them of course.

 

@Telemachos Is Black Book eligible if it wasn't commercially released in the States until April 2007, but was submitted for a foreign language Oscar to the February 2007 awards? See also The Lives of Others which was also released in theaters in February 2007 but won the Oscar at the same ceremony which was honoring the best films of 2006. 

 

Black Book: if it was released in the US any time in 2007, it's eligible. 

 

Lives of Others: it played publicly in an Oscar-qualifying run in December 2006, so it's technically a 2006 release.

I like it alright, would give a 7 or so, but I don't believe a top 25 should have 7/10 movies. It's not a 'movies that didn't suck' list, after all.

My Winnipeg is incredible but it wasn't released in the US until summer 2008 so it wouldn't have qualified anyway.

Not sure if it would be included in this, but I like the idea of continuously revisiting what the box office was like this weekend 10 years ago.

Children of Men is 2007 or 2006 @Telemachos?

If you haven't seen a total of 25 movies above 7/10 then 7/10 is what you'll have in your top25, it seems logical to me, but okay, different points of view then.

 

Also, your first point wasn't that, it was that your list was too mainstream. I don't see the problem with that either but different points of view once again I suppose.

@Goffe2006. Limited still counts. It was also nominated for some oscars that year

It's a 2006 release. It opened in 16 theaters on Dec 25. 

[WrathOfHan]

We all know what will be #1.

 

 

[Goffe]

oh good, it would be pretty hard to choose between that and TWBB.

Honestly I hit Transformers, Bourne and Zodiac off the top of my head and I'm out of 2007 movies that I love
