BOT: The Revisiting! The Top 25 of 2007 -- It's done! Best Film of 2007 has been revealed!

[BadAtGender]

I'll have to post my list, but it'll have to wait until Sunday when I get home. 

 

No Country is a good consensus choice, though. It's like the opposite of TWBB, which hangs on that singular performance so much that the whole feels like it's less than the sum of its parts. No Country, though, is that total package. It's just layer after layer of great filmmaking. You come away not quite sure of how good what you just saw was. 

 

And then it hits you. The thing that seems so critical and necessary and basic that there's no way a film could work like that without it. But No Country barely has a score. And it's like that lack just brings focus to the things a score would with a razor sharpness. 

 

I didn't vote it for number 1, or even top 5, but that's more on the enjoyment vs. appreciation divide. As a film it deserves total respect. Good choice, forum.

I think 6 of my top 25 made the list. 

 

Does that make me cool and edgy?

Can I be honest for a minute here and say I unironically liked Bee Movie?

[misafeco]

Bridge to Terabithia is criminally underrated. I cried when I first saw it.

Boy this terrible opinion that There Will Be Blood just hangs on DDL keeps coming up here, huh?

[AniNate]

I think TWBB is good in spite of DDL

[chasmmi]

So when are our 2012 lists due by?

Also, for the record, you should all be ashamed of yourselves for not voting for Blades of Glory.

Wow only seeing this now, too busy lately, but thanks everyone involved for making that list, was a pleasure participating in it, great choices all around, and I've written down a few suggestions for future watches!
