it may seem like the best of 2007, but it's not. If it can out on DVD in '08, it qualified for the list.

Bottle Rocket (Criterion Collection) by Wes Anderson

First to recommend

Description

The film that catapulted Wes Anderson's (and Owen Wilson) career as a serious filmmaker. In my opinion, the Criterion release is entirely too late. Better late than never, I guess. Just like other cc releases, it's got lots of extras. What's the kicker though? It's got the original black and white short shot in 1992.

Man on Wire

Description

The exhilarating true story of Philippe Petit and the time he tightrope walked across the twin towers. You'll finish this film thinking you can do anything.

There Will Be Blood

5 people recommended this item

Description

The academy called it one of the best films of 2007. They rewarded Daniel Day-Lewis with best performance. There is no doubt that this film will always be watched and loved. For me, it'll have me dreaming about being an oil man.

The Dark Knight

15 people recommended this item

Description

A fantastic movie directed by Christopher Nolan. Heath Ledger's stellar performance as The Joker feels real and completely terrifying. This is one Batman movie that will definitely frighten small children.

The Big Lebowski 10th Anniversary DVD

4 people recommended this item

Description

One of the best movies of the 90s. There's no doubt about that. but, what's so great about this 10th Anniversary edition of the famous Coen Brother's film is that it comes in a miniature bowling ball.

Lars and the Real Girl

7 people recommended this item

Description

It's too bad that this film is, almost, always overshadowed by Juno. You know, they came out around the same time: yada, yada, yada. Even though it didn't get as much love, Lars is certainly as good (if not better than) Juno. I mean, sure, the plot seems a little weird but it makes sense. In reality, the story is one of compassion and love. It's a plot of a town rallying behind someone. It's an endearing story of people who really care.

Into the Wild

Description

One of the few movies I've seen that actually does the book justice. It's a breathtakingly beautiful film, with a heartbreaking story. it's well worthy of all the praise.

The Darjeeling Limited

4 people recommended this item

Description

I love this film because it hits me in so many levels. The campy film (all camp all the time), great music (fantastic) and great luggage that was created just for this film by my main guy Marc Jacobs.

It was just named best picture of the year by the Los Angeles Film Critic Association (first ever animated feature). I don't know if It was the best, in my book. However, it was certainly one of my favorites. Everyone should see this!
