I was surprised I couldn't find an existing thread about this topic, so I started one myself.

So let's hear it, everyone's short list for their favorite movies of 2007.

I submit:

1. No Country for Old Men - not only the best movie of 2007, but the best movie in recent memory; stunning cinematography, spare composition, and a genuinely frightening Javier Bardem in a bowl cut
2. This is England - great soundtrack and the lovely newcomer Vicky Mclure as a skinhead chelsea girl
3. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead - Philip Seymour Hoffman, he of the small hands and shifty demeanor, really should play Iago in Othello or Edmund in King Lear, so convincing is he in the role of villain
4. Darjeeling Express - Some may find Wes Anderson a bit twee, but the rest of us will happily take whatever he gives
5. The Bourne Ultimatum - gave me motion sickness

Honorable Mention: Rescue Dawn didn't make the cut by a hairbreadth for a very un-Werner Herzog gung-ho ending (possibly due to studio meddling?) and the fact that Dieter Dengler (Christian Bale) was supposed to be pursued by a bear but that scene didn't make it into the final edit...Charles Manson look-alike Jeremy Davies as Eugene from Eugene Oregon was great fun to watch as he ever is
 
I would have to say The Simpson's Movie and Transformers are two of the best, in my book at least.

On the flip side I just read that Walk Hard only made $4.1 million in it's opening week. Sweeney Todd, which was released in half as many theaters as Walk Hard, made $9.1 million. I knew Walk Hard would be a total bomb.

I forgot all about Spider Pig.
 
In no particular order:

Juno
Across the Universe
Darjeeling Limited
No Country for Old Men
Wristcutters: A Love Story
Into the Wild
Paris, Je t'aime

There are more, I just can't recall a lot of them.

There are still a few I want to see:

There Will Be Blood
Golden Compass
Atonement
Diving Bell and the Butterfly
The Savages
 
I can't get into them Bourne films. Or rather I didn't like how the second film was the first one in different locations. Too much cat and mouse with baby step progession for me.

I'd put Transformers on the list! Probably because I was a big fan of them as a kid.
Die Hard 4 was okay.
 
There will be blood - by Paul Thomas-Anderson starring Daniel Day-Lewis. Epic!

Beyond Beats and Rhymes by Byron Hurt
 
In The Shadow Of The Moon. Finally got to see it at Warwick Arts Centre last Thursday.

Then Sunshine. Probably.
