Spoiler Free 2007 Movie Year in Review

[cynic51]

A number of my friends have made recent posts about the Oscar season. I might get there too, but thus far I've seen of this year's nominees than in any other year since I became a hard core movie attendee. Granted, if I see just two more films (Michael Clayton and There Will Be Blood) I vault back up to my normal lofty percentage, but why am I not

You liked Enchanted? How very cool, I loved that movie (and most people around me do not).

Once -- has just arrived from netflix. Will see.
Eastern Promises - on the definite to-see by oscars list.
No Country For Old Men -- on the maybe to see.
Aguirre, Taxi Driver - on our netflix que.
I LOVED the Prestige, and Pan's Labyrinth.
And I'm kind of dragging my feet on seeing Children of Men.

How could people not love Enchanted? It's adorable. I don't claim it's a great movie, but it made me happy.

I think No Country For Old Men was pretty good, theferrett liked it as well. I think you should move it to your 'must see' list.

Have you seen Fitzcarraldo or the others on the list? I really liked Fitz a lot.

Ok, will move No Country to the must-see.

I've had Aguirre on my to-see list for a couple of years now; it's in the Netflix que. Fitzcarraldo sounds utterly fascinating, too, so I think I'll add it.

I've seen and liked Paprika (though there was something slightly off about it, a sense of what it could have been). I have not seen Taxi Driver, Shadow of the Moon, Come Early Morning, and haven't even heard of Daisy or Fido.

*pedantic* You've definitely heard of Fido. :-)

Zombie Flicks...

Nope, I was out of town when it was at the Cinematheque and I didn't make it to the SciFi festival.
