Best Movies of 2007

Some of my other favorites from this year:
300
Planet Terror
Ratatouille
Transformers
American Gangster
28 Weeks Later
Sicko
The Simpsons Movie
Breach

 

In which case, I'll go see it this weekend.

 

I had the grave misfortune of watching 'Transformers' on DVD.
I've never been so bored by a special effects/action movie.

 

I would have to say Grindhouse was one of the biggest disappointments of 2007. Who's with me?

I also really want to see Grace Is Gone and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

 

I've seen a couple of people mention 'Death Proof' and 'Planet Terror' individually.
Personally, I enjoyed 'Grindhouse.'

 

"Death Proof" is fantastic. Better than second time around.

 

Saw "Juno" tonight, and it's just fantastic. I can't remember the last time I thoroughly enjoyed a film as much -- "Once" is the only thing this year that even came close as far as pure enjoyment.

It's going to be a huge, huge hit.

 

I got too many little Barts running around so can we add which are on DVD so I can go that route instead

 

fuckin' superbad ruled. fuckin' love that movie. jesus christ, i laughed my fuckin' ass off. seriously. fucking loved it. bought it monday night the dvd came out. loved.

 

Some people rate movies with stars. Hoops rates them with f-bombs. Superbad gets four ... ;D
