NEWS: SuicideGirls' Top Ten Films of 2007

I got bored in the middle of it and didn't finish it.

I don't know about the best, but I just got back from seeing Juno, and I don't think I've enjoyed a movie more this year.

Superbad felt like a marathon to me. It almost seemed like they just tried as hard as they could to stick as many swears and sexual references as they could possibly fit into two hours (hell, the DVD even has a counter), without much concern for anything else. It felt forced.

Er, I mean from last year.

I would also say that Paprika was phenomenal and brilliant and totally worth the wait to see it.

Also from FilmDrunk.com:

"Atonement -
It didn't look like something I'd like, but I went because of all the buzz, the awards nominations, its inclusion on so many people's best of '07 list, etc. Let me tell you, this movie sucked harder than a Dyson vacuum cleaner made of Nic Cage. After they got done setting up the premise that you already assume from the trailer, the plot went absolutely nowhere. It was a love story about two people who were on screen together for maybe five minutes total, and the rest was faux-profound, tangential fluff. She's scrubbing her hands, but they won't come clean - OH THE SYMBOLISM! An old woman pushing a cart - so meaningful! Barf barf barf.
And then a wannabe "twist" ending that managed to be both completely predictable and totally unsatisfying. It was only out of morbid curiosity that I stayed until the end."

Could not agree more.

The Darjeeling Limited should be top of the list!
And were Perfume: The Story of a Murderer and The Science of Sleep 2007 or were they the year before? If so, why are they not on here?

Thank you.


On another note, I just saw There Will Be Blood.

Holy fuck, Daniel Day-Lewis was awesome. I loved him.

No offense, but I'm not going to listen to anyone who thinks that 300, Sin City and Fight Club are three of the ten best movies ever. Sorry.

Pfft. Whatever. I've seen your profile. You don't even like movies!

Or TV shows!

Or bands!

Or books!

Or video games/artists!

Or Top Ten Lists!

...

Yeah, I got nothin'.

-TM

Oh yeah? Well I'm not going to listen to anybody that worships Eddie Money! So there!

you know, when it comes to best-of lists in general, going beyond the years in which specific films are made, there's a thing called time. in a decade or so, people will no longer talk about or perhaps even remember films like '300' or 'sin city.' it just won't happen.

If you liked Hot Fuzz & Bug, you are sure to love...

Oh, you are so wrong about that. Unfortunately for me, I can guarantee you that my husband absolutely will remember both of those movies, and will likely still be making me watch them, probably right after Transformers or Spiderman 3.

There is such a backlash building against this film, and I think it's amazing. At first, everyone was like, "Oh it's quirky!" and now that everyone has seen it, AND because of the ads on TV that play every 15 minutes, people are really starting to hate it.

Well said. I was wondering when I saw the title of the article how "SuicideGirls" came to choose the top 10 movies. Was there some kind of vote that I missed?

I think the backlash is only because of how popular it got.

I've seen it twice. I still think it's the best of 2007. Plus it's written by a former stripper. What's not to love about that!?!

(ps. Sweeny Todd is a close second)

Once indie, twice backlash. And it's hardly the best of 2007.

Also, just because she's an ex-stripper (and no offense to them) doesn't mean she makes a great screenwriter.



and my revised (as of 01.15.08) Top 10 of 2007 List:

10. Control
9. Sicko
8. Lars & the Real Girl
7. Bug
6. Rescue Dawn
5. Atonement
4. I'm Not There
3. The Diving Bell & the Butterfly
2. No Country For Old Men
1. There Will Be Blood

Honorable Mentions: Sweeney Todd, Juno, Eastern Promises, Sunshine, Ratatouille, In the Shadow of the Moon

Into the wild is wonderful for the sensibility
Control for the B&W shoot
Blueberry night for the magical capture
300 for the technical aspect & the image
Death proof for Quentin episode

The list is very good for it's inclusions and better for it's exclusions. Especially my own bete-noire "Juno". Did Diabalo Cody learn her craft by watching the "Gilmore Girls"?
