Film School Rejects: The Ten Best Films of 2007 — Neil’s List

  • Brian C. Gibson · 1 year ago
    i think everyone forgets about 300 because it came out so early in 2007

    300 would have been like #11 on my list -- or in a tie with Transformers. It was just that close.

    Neil,

    If I were to have come up with a Top 10 and not a "Best Of" then I suppose it would have only 10 films on it!

    But maybe you are right. Maybe I am a bit indecisive - but after looking at your list - "Transformers"?

    I mean "Waitress" is a total chick flick and I didn't believe a word or second of it- but I get it- its like that stupid Jennifer Anniston movie "The Good Girl" that I never quite understand.

    and "30 Days of Night" - not my cup of tea exactly.

    Happy New Year!

    Ratatouille was nice to look at, but I felt the story was pretty weak. 30 days of Night was also a big disappointment, not because it was bad persay, but because I had such high hopes for it.

    Juno is a very good pick for #1. Ratatouille had an interesting story about creativity and critics. I would definitely put 300, There Will Be Blood, 3:10 to Yuma, Stardust on my list.

    "There is no way to describe a movie like Waitress, the beautiful fairy tale-ish comedy...without being a little cliche."

    Yeah, that's probably because the movie is filled with cliches. Waitress was the second worst film I saw this year. The characters are one-dimensional and poorly realized, the story is trite and cliched, and the editing suffers from a sluggish pace and unnecessary moments. If I hadn't been with others, I would have walked out.

    I couldn't agree more with your list, Neil! Superbad was an amazing movie and Juno was even better! Hopefully 2008 will bring us more quality movies like the flicks on this list.
