if you want some serious....hardcore action and a twist of special ops in a fight for survival....try The Condemened.....one of the year's best action films.....Qudos to Stone Cold too!!!!!!

Nicholas, El Dorado, Trinidad

You missed "No Country For Old Men". Very good highly recomened

Daryl, Red Deer, Canada

If you're into gratuitous violence, try Rambo IV. Still trying to figure out the chronological order.

Andrew Milner, Karuizawa, Japan

Rise of the foot soldiers. brilliant

To be honest I think late 2006, 2007 and the early part of 2008 have been pretty dismal for the film industry including foreign language films. There has not been a truly great film release now for a few years. But if I had to choose a favourite one off this list, it would be Eastern Promises.

Ian Edmonds, Battersea, London

In my opinion, Hot fuzz was horrible and the hitcher and sunshine were alright, but not worth 4 stars. However, I really liked 28 weeks later, Die Hard 4.0, and Blades of Glory. I feel that they are better than the 3 stars they were given.

Melissa, Morehead,KY, United States

whoever said I Am Legend up there, That was last year, and yes what about Transformers

Cole, Hartsville, US

Gone Baby Gone - unflinching, grim, beautiful and heartstopping.

Sarah Musgrave, London, UK

I Am Legend??!

Kir, Las Vegas, United States

amm, and what about "transformers"?

Lukas, Vilnius,

American Gangster=best of 2007

G, Vic, Canada

Pan's Labyrinth

Waitress

and if "Half Nelson" showed a brilliant Ryan Gosling... what about "Lars and the Real Girl"???

Frances, Santiago,

What about Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street?

Natalie, Canberra,

Nothing like Michael Clayton.

Akhil, Chennai, India

American Gangster is the greatest movie ever

G B, Vic, BC

Transformers is by far the best on the list. Compare that to 300 and you get a master piece. It's not hard to duplicate something that is based on history. Creating that history is much more difficult.

Barry, Tucson, AZ

transformerss= bestt

lisa, medfrod, ma

300 is brilliant brap brap!

baba o'reily, lundun,

run fat boy run - hilarious

Sorry no for Juno, hyped as a comedy but wasnt funny....however the serious issues addressed were dealt with well

helen, wakefield, uk

Juno is genius.
There is no reason it should not be on here.

no excuses.

Mitchell, Little Canada, Minnesota

Juno?
Death at a Funeral???

David, Sydney, Australia/N.S.W

Elizabeth The Golden Age was a fantastic movie. It should be on the list! Great acting, great directing. My favorite movie of 2007!

al, london,

No Country for Old Men? I think not.

A great film means it's a great film for the entirety of the film, and anyone with eyes to see knows that somebody botched the third act -- surprising given that the Coens are usually so seamless, even anal. Hot Fuzz and Superbad rocked, because they were original AND accessible.

Speaking of original -- Cloverfield?

Finally, these won't win any awards, but are offered as a public service to anyone looking for a quality return on their investment of time and cash: The Jane Austen Book Club, Breach, Rocket Science, Disturbia, Dan in Real Life, The Last Mimzy, Pride, The Lookout.

Clay, Scottsdale, Arizona

JUNO!!!
hello
one of the best movies out there
indie movie going big
especially one that goes beyond a regular teen movie
the best feel good movie!

melissa, vista, ca

Definately August Rush, and Norbit
That's all I can think of right now, and thats alot of movies they made!

Natasha, Aurora, Canada

August Rush!

Dallin, Duncan,

Jebus... did they just take ALL the movies made in 2007?!
Oh boy, I bet THAT was hard

Aryn, LA, CA

I know this film was technically from 1977, but I think Killer of Sheep should be there. It was completed in 1977, but they didn't get the rights for the soundtrack. However, a company bought it thirty years later.Hey, it's not exactly a 2007 film, but it's more of one than Blade Runner, of the Seventh Seal. Just because a movie celebrates it's 25th or 50th anniversary doesn't mean it's eligible for being in 2007...

aaron, Hamilton, Canada

The Man From Earth's rating would also be lower if the people who liked it hadn't rated it.

You can't say that a rating would be higher if no one rated it badly..
That's just foolish

joey, florida, usa

The best film of 2007 has got to be Jerome Bixby's The Man From Earth. Currently has a rating of 8.3 on IMDB from over 10,000 votes. Would be even higher if hundreds of fundamentalist Christians who were offended by the plot hadn't voted on it.

Phil Plumpton, Stafford, England, UK, Europe, Sol 3.

I totally agree with sasha stefanova from london

Nicos, Athens, Greece

you should see Mazi tou ia a really nice movie

Nicos, Athens, Greece

Hairspray is a truly magical film, Nikki Blonsky stunned every person who saw here singing down the highstreet and if you watch Greese and look at John Travolta it is so funny that in that picture he doesn't know that in about 20 years he is going to be dressed as a very large women!
I bet you loved it to too
coz you can't stop the beat

Demmi Rose, Fleet, England

K, where is Into the Wild and Pan's Labyrinth. I'm not even sure Babel was in 2007, I thought it was released in 2006. Whenever it was, it was released about the same time as Pan's Labyrinth. Pan's Labyrinth won more academy awards than Babel. Pan's Labyrinth should be in this list (5 stars!)

Blah, blah,

For those of you who can't read, it is 'Best films of 2007', not 2006 and not 2008. This article was written on the 1 Dec 2007 in the UK.

Dan, Ealing, London,

I totally agree with your statements, they miss out TRANSFORMERS, it was the best film I´ve ever seen!!!!

G, RS, Slovakia

No Transformers, it was the best one!!!!!!!!!!

Luis, selden,

Transformers? a classic???? puke....
No: No country for old men, There will be blood, Juno, Sweeney Todd, Pan's Labyrinth? what kind of an excuse for a 100 best list is this? ( i do give props for the inclusion of excellent final installments in the Rocky and Die Hard Series though)

Devin, Edwardsville, Il

WHAT?! No Pirates of the Caribbean?! =( It was my favourite movie of the year!
And no TRANSFORMERS?! That was a CLASSIC!

TM, Waterloo, Canada / Ontario

Any fool knows about 2007 movies. Where are the hot movies of 2008?

Jackie, Thousand Oaks, CA

pirates of the caribbean: at world's end hello?!?!?!?

Julie, colorado springs, colorado

You forgot about The Bucket List!!! I just saw it today and it is great - far better then some movies that are in your list like Hot Fuzz for example which I also saw today.

Raul #67, Rogaška Slatina, Slovenia

Transformers

jessss, nyc, ny

Yes, this list is missing four great movies from last year. The sad part, is few might have even heard of them. These are some great movies which are not watched, or even heard about by everyday people, because the media simply refuses to bring them to light. What is worse, is that, except for Regal Theatres, movie theatres avoid showing them like plague. Why? because they are about God, or about Christian values. Yet, for those interested I am talking about "The Nativity Story", "Facing the Giants," "Esther," and Bella. These are four GREAT movies. Take your children to them, you might be able to show them, for a change, what true clean love is all about.

Miranda, Fairfax, VA, USA

What about Sweeny Todd...I saw it in 2007 and it is the BEST!!

Go Johnny go...

Steve, Sacramento, CA

Oceans 13, Harry Potter, Beowulf 4stars; you having a laugh?
Die Hard 4.0 will be watched over and over, and will return every Summer and Christmas along with the rest of the brilliant series.
No one will ever watch Oceans 13 twice!

Mike, bristol,

Children of men was 2006...

Si, Brecon,

i agree, best of 2007 goes to..... Children of Men

Edd Roberts, Bristol, Uk

hey what about children of men?
why nobody mentions that film?!??!?!?

Sasha Stefanova, London,

persuit of happiness all the way

chris, bradford, uk

And:
- The Good Shepherd
- Waitress
- Blood Diamonds
- Casino Royal
To me, they were all very good films. Shame that they didn't make the list. Even Hitman is good.
Glad that Ten Canoes and La Vie en Rose made it.

Tchi Mbouani, London,

I am struggling to understand why the likes of Raging Bull, Blade Runner and others are in the list for 2007? Surely it should be new releases.

John Parkin, lancaster,

Quite a shame that JUMA didn't make the list. If the critics loved Little Miss Sunshine, I don't see why they wouldn't enjoy JUMA.

D-holio, Vancouver, BC

note to those pointing out films that are not in the list but clearly should be. I suspect they would be if they'd been released in the UK yet, but as they haven't, they aren't. (No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood etc etc)

regards..

Owen, Manchester, UK

Harshvardhan,

Thanks for mentioning "Jerome Bixby's The Man From Earth". It means a lot to us that you consider our little film "One of the Best of 2007".

Sincerely,

Eric D. Wilkinson
Producer
Jerome Bixby's The Man From Earth

Eric D. Wilkinson, Newfield, New Jersey

1408 ! Easily one of the best films of the year

Will Clarke, Wallington, United Kingdom

After the Wedding definitely deserves to be there.

Katja Hiltunen, London,

Pan's Labyrinth was released in 2006, No country for old men comes out in 2008. Not so hard to figure out why they're not on the list

Serigala, Douglas, UK

Pirates 3
the born ultimator
the simpsons movie

sasho, razgrad, bulgaria

of the ones listed that I've seen "Hot Fuzz" is the standout. I never have figured out the attraction of "Knocked Up"; a stupid movie about stupid people.

Michael, austin, USA

How convinient that the best 100 films of 2007 are more or less ALL English speaking films.

Have you ever heard of "The World"?

Peter Busk, Ã…rhus, Denmark

Um, why is No Country for Old Men nowhere on this list? Easily the best movie of the year.

Dan, Atlanta/GA,

1. Pirates 3
2. Spiderman 3
3. 300
4. Blades of Glory
5. National Treasure 2

Xortiman Zalixa, Blah,

You DEFINITELY need to include the movie "Juno"!!! Its a TOP 5 movie of 2007! Funny, smart and entertaining, only like 95 minutes though...

“He and my mom got divorced when I was like five, and she lives on a reservation in Arizona with a husband and three replacement kids. Oh, and she inexplicably mails me a cactus every Valentine’s Day. And I’m like, thanks a heap coyote ugly, this cactus-gram stings even worse than your abandonment.”

Loved it!!

CD, Tulsa, OK

Where's Sweeney Todd? This film was a macabre masterpiece, and a musical to boot! It should make the list for Johnny Depp's performance and that final shot alone, but beyond that, it's a morality tale that stays with you, haunts you, just like the ghosts of the past that haunt Sweeney.

Jacey, miami/fl,

I've found you've missed two of the best films
El Laberinto del Fauno and Children of the Men. They were really fantastic!!!

Luis, Mexico City, Mexico

How about Spiderman 3? The intensity builds up as spidey's faced with not one, not two but three villains on his back! Action packed and deadly, why on earth didn't u put spiderman 3 on that list!!!

Chris, London, England

Excuse me sir but where is There Will Be Blood? I may have missed it but I am quite sure I did not. So I ask you again in the most polite way possible, where is There Will Be Blood?

Ryan, Wantagh, New York

The Mist

Steve, Cincinnati, Ohio

You're missing a few films...
I Am Legend
Across the Universe
No country for old men

Kenn, Austin, TX

I too wish to join all those shouting 'what no Pan's Labyrinth'? this exclusion undermines the tentative authority of your list. A rather erratic list, I must say, which smuggles in amongst the great and greatly missed Bergman, the very promising 4 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days, and the thought provoking Blade Runner, the shallow-disguising-as-profound Babel. The credibility of your list is further eroded by the inclusion of pompous (pseudo-baroque) photographic tosh like 'The Assassination of zzzz!'. Brad Pitt 's attempts at 'enigmatic' and 'equivocal' end up giving the impression that he is having a headache (which he also confuses with 'tormented' and 'thinking'). As the say across the pond 'pleeeeaaase'.
Harriet Marlowe, London U.K.

Harriet Marlowe, London , U.K.

The movie 300 was one of the worst movies ever, how come it is in the list!?!?!?

5)There will be blood
6)Charlie Wilson's War

chris, edinburgh

Chris, Edinburgh, Scotland

Die Hard 4.0 deserves more than 3 stars. This film would have to be in my top 5, mainly because the effort the directors have made and also the committment they have portayed to this film, sequelled from a 80's hit, to make it work in todays society. A society where hacking into a bank computer system is alot easier than walking in with gun and shooting up the place, and then trying to get as much money as possible before that cops arrive. the techniques used in the very first Die Hard are now ancient, so trying to revolutionise a films atributes is a huge task, but they;ve managed to pulled it of. In my mind this film is a great ahievement, even more so when you consider that the main character (Bruce Willis) is over 50 and still able to pull off those stunts. C'mon, give it 4 stars, at least.

Paul, Adelaide, Australia

How can 'Lust, Caution' not be included? (It came out in USA already but not in the UK till 4 Jan 08) And the 'The Curse of the Golden Flower' is junk to be honest.

Florence, Cambridge,

The Painted Veil was better than Atonment.

Chris, London,

I saw probably 40 films this year...My top five:

1) Bourne Ultimatum (by a mile)
2) Eastern Promises
3) Waitress
4) American Gangster
5) Gone Baby Gone

No Country for Old Men tailed off about three-quarters of the way through it....very disappointing because it was dazzling through an hour and a half.

How "Knocked Up" could be considered one of the best is mind-blowing to me. Vile movie.

ted, Winchester, MA

The single most important film of 2007:

"No End In Sight"

Enough said

David Gardner, Los Angeles, CA

Did I read it wrong? It's such a shameful selection without "Lust, Caution"

Geng, Toronto,

There are a good few people who are taking this list a little bit too seriously I think! Take it in the spirit is meant is my advice. I think it's great to hear from people commenting from America but why not comment on the films mentioned or not mentioned rather than becoming pedantic about release dates? As mentioned previously, films are released at different times here than in the States!

Back to the article hand. I have to admit that I am disappointed Pan's Labyrinth didn't make this list. I feel that it may be because it did not find it's "audience". Fantastically well made and a great story. Would also agree with previous posters that surely Transformers deserves a place on the list. It had it's cliches but it knew what it was, BIG and FUN. In contrast, I am happy that At World's End was not there as it was big but not fun. I found it convoluted and had a lot of unnecessary characters and exposition. Overall, The Bourne Ultimatum gets my nod for the year. Edgy and thrilling!

Nick, Dublin, Ireland

The Bourne movie was far and away the best 2007 film and should be in the 5 * catagory!

Guy De Vito, Margate,

The Namesake seems to have slipped under the radar which is a shame. A beautiful, natural and thoughtful film.

James, Indonesia,

Can't believe there's NO reference to the cinematic hero of 2007.... the wonderful 'Kenny'!

Neil, London, England

The Lives of Others was indeed wonderful, but I'm glad you also included Golden Door, one of the most imaginative and moving films I have seen for years, with a wonderful soundtrack ranging from Nina Simone to Sicilian folk. It had so much to say about immigration, courage and seizing the future, and should have had a much wider release.

I'm less sure about The Darjeeling Limited, which did not so much labour its point as hit it with a large sledgehammer. And I am sorry you missed Christian Petzold's subtle allegorical thriller Yella, which for me was not just about East and West Germany, but about all of us and who we are in a glass-and-steel, digital world.

Mike Robbins, Norwich, United Kingdom

No 'Pan's Labyrinth'? Well I guess we know YOUR politics!

Tony, Champaign, Illinois

Did you just not see Waitress? Though I don`t agree with the sexism of it, it was a wonderful movie, worthy of the top fifty, if not the top twenty five. No excuse for it`s absence here.

William Callahan, Portland, Or.

Can't believe you did not mention Brick Lane. It was better than most of these

Tony Price, Gants Hill, UK

The Painted Veil - gorgeous cinematogrophy, great acting, and very very atmospheric. It is my best film of the year.

Clara Willmott-Basset, Kourou, French Guiana

100 movies!!! That's quite a few to include and still be able to use the word best. Besides the fact that many on the list and suggested by others are 1 to 2 years old, it seems like nearly everything mainstream was included! Yeah, I liked the Simpsons Movie, but really?

Darjeeling Limited--Good Choice
The Future is Unwritten--Overlooked for this wacky list!

Andy, Chicago, IL

I guess this happens when you are paid to go to the movies. To date, I've only been moved to watch 18 films released in 2007 and only 14 of them in theaters. Only 9 of them were really worth my time and money, and only 5 that I'd ever watch again. So, as of this writing, I'd be hard pressed to nominate a 10-best list, let alone 100. This has been a dismal year for film!

Salam Tims, Gainesville, FL, US

I miss the german Film "4 Minuten".

Leopold Fruhmann, Vienna , Austria

'Zodiac' was, for me, the best film of 2007. Absolutely magical film. 'The Lives of Others' , 'Jesse James........' also deserve honourable mentions.

John Murray, Bristol,

I'm clearly alone in thinking that Babel was nothing more than prolongued tedium. I make a point of watching every film to its climax; a truly unfortunate affliction in this instance. Pitt's make-up alone was enough to unhinge any vestige of credibility the film sought.

Geoff Bryant, Manchester,

hidden/cache was 2006. 100 is to many films for one year, thats when you end up with rocky and diehard under the heading "best", maybe enjoyable!

matthew, york, n yorks

Hidden did have a January release...in 2006! Great film though

John, Leighton Buzzard,

Whatever happened to Caché (Hidden)? When it came out in January, all the critics said it was one of the most haunting and disturing films of the year. Which it was. Why forgotten? Something Hidden?

mick gold, London,

Yes this seems to be only for films released in the UK during 2007 - remember The Times is a UK Newspaper. Now, more to the point, why this obsession with Top 100 this and that. It's incredibly lazy journalism - where is the comment, insight, or analysis here? Also as others have quite rightly pointed out, why on earth is this being written before the year has ended?

Mark, Tokyo,

What an odd list ... half of these didn't even come out in 2007. It shouldn't be hard to come up with 100 films that actually come out in the timeframe you're shooting for.

Or if you want to pretend a movie came out this year (when it didn't), you might want to not pick movies that were nominated for Oscars the year before.

Amanda, MI,

Before The Devil Knows You're Dead deserves recognition

Matt Lang, Chicago,

No "Blood Diamond?"

T.I.A., I guess.

Philip, Copenhagen, Denmark

mister bean's holiday
saw 4

Sebastian, Buenos Aires, Argentina

Lars and the Real Girl! Even better from Gossling than his performance in Half Nelson.

Jon, New York City, USA

California Dreaming (unfinished)

I T, London, UK

All the American posters should stop moaning about the absence of films that have not yet been released in the UK, such as No Country for Old Men. This list is based on UK release schedules.

Neil, London,

The Times is a UK newspaper and No Country for Old Men does not come to UK cinemas until 2008.

alec, london,

It is not fair!
You missed " The Illusionist"-one of the best movies I ever saw!
You miissed " Parfume"!

Boris T, Walnut CReek, USA/CA

I think Red Road was one of the best films this year. Gripping! why is is not listed? It was made in 2006, but not shown until this year

Fien Hekstra, Rotterdam, Netherlands

loose change ftnal cut

mike, west mids, uk

The Science of sleep with only 3 stars? Seriously? One of the most creative and interesting films that has come out in years. I agree with other comments too; that there really could not have been many more then a hundred films released......and some of the above were DIRE, not worthy of being placed among many great titles.

Emma Hatcher, Wivenhoe, Essex

The Science of sleep with only 3 stars? Seriously? One of the most creative and interesting films that has come out in years. I agree with other comments too; that there really could not have been many more then a hundred films released......and some of the above were DIRE, not worthy of being placed among many great titles.

Emma Hatcher, Wivenhoe, Essex, UK

uh, a good portion of these movies weren't even made in 2007, this is the 100 best films of 2007, isn't it? And seriously, The Hitcher remake and Mr. Brooks, but no No Country for Old Men?

Javier Lopez, San Diego,

Hello...Doesn't anyone remember Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End???? True, the film wasn't as good as Dead Man's Chest (who can ever contend with the way Geoffrey Rush entered the last scene? Even the actors didn't know that it was going to be him entering the scene). But, seriously, it's the ending of an era. Those three films redefined filming, and we all know it.
Also, what about Transformers???? That film had our theatre filled and people CHEERING (and I mean cheering, people we're quite literally standing up, shouting and clapping).
Does no one remember these cinematic masterpieces? Or are they pushed aside because they're the cliche flicks????

Leana, Springfield,

100 best films.
Practically "the 100 films" how many more can there possibly have been?
Might be even less if you only had 2007 films in it!
Bladerunner?!?!?!?
Will it be in the 100 Best Films of 2008, 2009, 2010?

Robert Sunncuyth, Hastings, New Zealand

Where the hell is Transformers?!

Stewie, London, England

what about King of Kong, Before the Devil Knows Your Dead, juno, no country for old men.

A list of 100 is just way to big.

Jim Nasium, Los Angeles,

I absolutely agree about " Bridge To Terabithia ". I think it is one of the best films of the year. I think it is the best film of the year in fact. I think that for the fact that it so effectively adapts a brilliant original novel into a film. There is no doubt that it deservew to win many awards at the Oscars for this year. It is that good.

Todd, Vancouver,

What an inane concept. Picking the top 100 movies of a year is like picking the top 10 months of the year. It requires next to no critical thought.

Which apparently was still too much for you folks. You've left of some films that are unquestionably among the top 100 (let alone 10). It makes me wonder if you folks have seen only 100 films this year. Oh, and kudos for naming the list the best of 2007 with all of the December releases (historically some of the best of the year), yet to come.

I do salute the fact that you team of monkeys managed to get on IMDBs link list. It must have been a slow day for them to suggest that this dreck might be interesting.

Craig, Vancouver, Canada

Bridge to Terabithia should have gotten a higher rating 4/5 stars more like 5/5 stars it was brilliant!.

John Cross, Broken hill, Australia

I am sad to see that the article does not include "No Country For Old Men" which is by far one of the best films I have ever had the pleasure to experience. I am relieved to see that so many others share my concern and have complained before I could.

But putting a lot of these movies on the list instead of NCFOM?
Who was in charge of this list anyways? Its a bit pathetic really.

Geoffrey, Bay Area, California

wheres transformers!!!

bill murphy, london,

The Brazilian TROPA DE ELITE (ELITE SQUAD)

Cristuli, Buenos Aires, Argentina

This list is dumb. No Country for Old Men?

chris, gunnison, colorado

Juno, Evening, and Death Proof need to be on this list!

Rachel, Kansas,

Enchanted? Pirates 3? Spiderman3? Even Rob Zombies delicious remake of Halloween is missing!

Kate, pittsburgh,

Many of these are from 2006.

John, Memphis, TN

The Romanian film 4 months, 3 weeks, 2 days is absolutely fantastic.
totally loved it, deserves to top this list.

Linda, London, England

What about Planet Terror, The Ten, and Lars and the Real Girl. Among many others, average list. Some good picks, some awful ones.

Ryan, Somers Point,

If you're going to name the top 100 movies of 2007, you should probably make sure they all came out in 2007...unlike Babel, Bobby, and Half Nelson...all of which were nominated for Oscars LAST YEAR...in 2006...

Jake Hamilton, Houston,

Transformers - OK it's for kids, and by no means high art, but my God what a spectacle! True cinematic value for money. Something for everyone, not since Star Wars have I been so blown away by special effects. I admit that there's more to film than CGI, and it's so obviously a franchise aimed at selling plastic lunch boxes and stickers, but Michael Bay has created a blockbuster masterpiece here. Hooray for Hollywood! There, I've said it. I shall now crawl back into my hole...

Dave Langcaster, Hull,

I just wonder, did I see The Hitcher on the list?
Actually, I thought it was the worst film of the year.
I can remember myself watching this title and complaining about every turn in this movie how unrealistic and absurd it was.
Perhaps it could have been bearable, if it hasn't been taken seriously. Sorry, but it was really ridiculous!

Julian Sander, Bielefeld, Germany

RUN FAT BOY RUN!!!

Such a suprisingly great film, one of the best I've seen in a while; even my mum loved it, and she doesn't usually go for films like this- she normally prefers things like Atonement and Two Days in Paris but we both found those two quite disappointing...

Lisa, Southampton,

The best film I have seen in 2007 is Sarah Polley's "Away from Her," with an absolutely stunning performance from Julie Christie.

Ron, Pittsburgh, PA

You've got "Sunshine", but what about "Little Miss Sunshine"? It certainly brightened my day!

OG, Paris, France

Where is No Country for Old Men? THE best film of the year.

Drew, Raleigh, North Carolina

Have you even seen No Country for Old Men? I would be ashamed of myself to have "The Hitcher" up there and not even acknowledge the Coen brother's masterpiece. Wow.

Mike, Montreal, Canada

Not very good. You give high status to mediocre films like 300 and Babel, but I'm not seeing anything from 2007's real successes like No Country for Old Men, Before the Devil Knows you're Dead, etc.
And, if as previously mentioned, Inland Empire counts as a 2007 film for this list, then it should be on top without question.
There are also far too many films that were not made in 2007, we all love The Seventh Seal and Last Tango in Paris, but they get their dues all over the internet, this should really be a spotlight on what contemporary films have to offer.

Andrew , New York, USA

Babel.... I almost fell asleep watching this movie in cinema.

I just don't get it why people like this movie. It is terribly annoying and the acting is really bad. The movie just doesn't feel true enough.

Pieter, Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Best movie of 2007?
Best movie EVER:

Shoot Em Up!

Kyle, Canton,

Babel five stars? ALPHA DOG? I don't know if they released different versions of these movies in the UK but in America they were awful. Also what about 'No Country...'? Pan's Labyrinth? These were great original movies that don't come around often enough. But seriously, Alpha dog?

Cory Trares, Perrysburg,

Inland Empire. And the best movie of the year, No Country for Old Men.

Kathleen, NYC,

Wow I would never think a Norwagian Movie would rech such a list...hmmm!
Well it's always nice to know that we've been discovered to some extent!

Henrik, York, England

A lot of good movies up there. Some not so good, but I won't write them all down here.
I would add The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
Other than that, none.

Lola, Campbell River, Canada

Babel is the Hollywood version of the script structure that Arriaga repeats over and over again in the films he wrote for Inarritu. One event that affects several characters in different parts of the world. And he has loads of fans as I've seen many films in film festivals that repeat the same formula. Babel was pretentious.

Sara, Cuspedrinos,

Agree that No Country for Old Men should be on the list. I also think that Across the Universe could have made the list too--I personally thought that to be a beautiful movie.

And 28 Weeks Later?! One of the worst movies of the year in my honest opinion. It's a 2 hour demonstration of all the stupidest things people can do in one movie. It totally destroyed the beauty and redemptive quality of the first movie.

Planet Terror definitely should have been added. it's way better as a film and it shows that robert rodriguez still knows what he's doing. also i think Talk To Me should be on this list. That was a great film

omar , yonkers,

Pan's Labyrinth!
Brilliant!

Um...Where is No Country for Old Men?

...it is the best, by far, movie of the year.

I saw Sea of Dreams starring Sonia Braga, Seymour Casell and a international cast and it was a great movie, quite different, the scenery, the music, everything was superb.

I agree with Tessa- Babel suffers from Lost in Translation syndrome- full of self-importance but little meaning. I mean, every film is about communication in some way, and those 4 half-baked tales do little to impress.
I think The Assassination of Jesse James is the film of the year- a beautiful film that uses the Western to explore the modern fame obsession. Inland Empire was a very brave film that will hopefully open the doors to low-budget DV films being accepted into cinemas.

Um, how come DEATH PROOF is up there and not PLANET TERROR and the fake trailers? They should have put GRINDHOUSE, not just one of the movies. Also, I thought PT was much more exciting than DP.

Whoops, I forgot, the UK didn't get GRINDHOUSE but the movies separately. That's too bad.

Transformers needs to be on this list. It was visually stunning, the characters believable, and proved to America how talented Shia LeBeuf is. It was my favorite movie of the summer!

Angela F, Meriden, CT

Harry Potter 5 is certainly one of the best this year, along with 300 and definetly Ratatoulie.
Babel was just trying too hard, and don't get me started with Departed. How it won the Oscar for best pic just stumped me.

Armand, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

The Hitcher and Die Hard 4.0 aren't on my list. Not because they're bad films(they are) but because the performances of two iconic actors, Sean Bean and Bruce Willis seemed totally phoned in and unconvincing.

Yeah, where is No Country For Old Men???

The inclusion of new cuts/reissues of films that were, and still are pretty good is a cheap way to fill space, imho.

Say what you will, but Transformers deserved a spot. For what is is and was designed to be, it was incredibly effective and a great time at the movies!!

Where's No Country for Old Men, by far this year's best?

oliver, Vancouver,

You missed Breach,with a very fine Chris Cooper and The Man From Earth, which is one of the best independent movies of this year

Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End.

There are two films I have to mention.

The first is The Mist, Frank Darabont's long gestating adaptation of Stephen King's seminal short story (say that fives times fast). In a conversation a few days ago with a friend, a dyed-in-the-wool horror buff, I asked if she had taken my advice and seen the movie. I had actually wanted to go again but was unable. She looked at me with genuine fear and said "Why would you want to see that movie twice? I couldn't handle it." That Darabont, who's not exactly known for horror, can elicit such a response is a welcome burst of air now that Saw and it's ilk have started to stink up the joint. Genuine horror. The cast has never been better, particularly Toby Jones, and the minimalist score and claustrophobic cinematography are breathtaking.

The other is, brace yourselves, TMNT Feel free to laugh or accuse me of succumbing to nostalgia, but the film is earnest and good-hearted, and practically crackles with energy. It's slight, sure, but entertaining.

It tried to be another Crash? What? I think you'll find Babel was the last part of a trilogy that slightly pre-dated Crash! It was just as brilliant as the two previous.

My number one is the Darjeeling Limited, Beautiful film. That and Half Nelson, Gosling was fantastic.

Simon, Macclesfield,

I have to disagree with the view that Babel was "The most exhilarating Oscar contender by a long stretch". It utterly overstretched itself: it took perfectly good material for 4 films and very tenuously mashed them together, leaving the actors fighting a loosing battle to properly connect with the audience. It tried to be another Crash, and failed.

Tessa , Bristol,

Well i have to say that i mostly agree with your sellection but i although think that one of the best movies are Renaissance (2006), Immortal (2004)
