Enchanted is totally getting shafted
I gave major love to Enchanted, but as with the academies and guilds it doesn't get the respect it deserves simply on account of being a family film. Back in the days Mary Poppins and Wizard of Oz got their just praise, but these days it's not serious enough I guess.
Actually it did get a Critic's Choice award and they were wise enough to give Amy Adams a 'Best Actress' nod as well.

Yeah, according to IMDB, it did. But I was just saying that it got released in LA in 2006 before that. It never got a *limited* release, apparently. Just LA and NY releases.Count Dookkake said:

Cajole essentially agreed with Mifune, stupid :lolCount Dookkake said:
Children of Men is an '06 film, just like both of them said. I don't think Mifune was arguing against the American limited release date whatsoever-- that would be you.

Stupid? Mifune's position was global, not US.
I carried it to an extreme.
The wrangling on all sides points to the problem of grouping art projects together by year of release, as it really is quite arbitrary. Year of conception might be of more interest to future viewers, but that wouldn't be really useful here.

Actually, it did get a nationwide limited release in May 2007. That was when I saw it in Dallas. But it was Oscar eligible in 2006 because of the LA/NYC release at the end of 2006. That was the criteria I used for making my list, if it was Oscar eligible in 2007, then it was a 2007 movie.

Ah, The Host is a 2006 film. If I knew you were counting that as a 2007 film, it'd be my number 1.

nvm
I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet, but here goes:
1 (number 1, ie. 10 points): The Assasination of Jesse James
2: No Country for Old Men
3: Zodiac
4: Superbad
5: Ratatouille
6: The Simpsons Movie
7: Hott Fuzz
8: American Gangster
9: I Am Legend
Can't even think of anything else deserving of any points, although I'm sure Lust/Caution and TWBB would push I Am Legend off and assume 1-5 somewhere if I'd seen them.

Everyone has his own opinion, I respect your opinion. (I found halloween very horrible btw and found pirates 3 the worst of the trilogy)

Yes I'm aware that many hated Halloween and Pirates 3. And quite frankly I don't give two shits because everyone has movies that they loved and a lot of people did not, and vice versa. And furthermore, I'm a three-year college film major about to graduate within the year; I'm not saying this makes me the shit or that all my opinions are bulletproof, no, but I'm not exactly an average Joe when it comes to film. Halloween is my third favorite movie of the year and I'd say I'm easily able to explain why with plenty of valid reasons. I just don't need this shit in this thread -- it's merely a voting thread, not a battle of the film purists arena. It just pisses me off when I love movies for perfectly valid reasons and just because "the majority" doesn't agree means that my tastes are laughable or wrong. I can defend why I loved Halloween, and Pirates 3 for that matter. I'm just not going to because the horse has been beaten so much that its remains are unidentifiable with the rest of the shit on the ground.

I can honestly say that Dragon Wars was the first time I've actually reallly really REALLY wanted a High Def surround sound set up. I've been to Best Buy, have a PC resolution at 1024 or something, and seen all the gameplay videos of next / current gen games but none of them had to effect for me that D War did.
The acting, characters, writing, plot were all HORRIBLE. The worst of the year by far (and I've seen SM 3, Transformers, F4, and YES even the Iron Man animated movie. But the special effects were just sooooooooooooooooooo good. Sure it may be shallow of me but
the serpent and dragon fight was something my childhood dreams were made of

I dunno, a film centering around cooking and rats doesn't seem to offer a whole lot for kids in comparison to something like Shrek IMO, that's all. It can skirt by with a kids movie connotation, but barely in my book.

1. There Will Be Blood
2. Ratatouille
3. No Country For Old Men
I don't want to make a top ten yet because I still haven't seen several 2007 films. However, I feel confident that my top three will not change. I was able to see each film twice in theaters and after my second viewing I really felt There Will Be Blood had that extra bit of something to put it in the top slot.
I still need to see Juno, Michael Clayton, Atonement, King of Kong, Assassination of Jesse James, Into the Wild, I'm Not There, American Gangster, Gone Baby Gone, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Enchanted, and Persepolis. Jesus, just listing off all those movies makes me feel like less of a film buff. I am a false prophet of cinema.
