Well, its that time of year again. Time to recap my (Fathergeek, Harry's Dad) 2007 film viewing for you. As always these are all films I viewed in theaters with audiences, not things watched at home on tape, or DVD (HD or otherwise) even though I have access to top of the line equiptment and a 15 foot screen at geek headquarters.To me its important for this type of list making to take into account the "Audience Experience." I regularly see several hundred movies each year in theaters. These are the 25 that most impressed me one way or another in 2007. These are not necessarily films released in the USA in 2007, but they ARE motion pictures I saw for the 1st time in 2007. Note: That I'm not saying this list is the best made movies of 2007, just the ones that I most enjoyed viewing with audiences,
They are in order of my preferience at this point in time... this order could change over time with repeated screenings and input from those whose opinions I have grown to respect over years of movie going, however I've discussed this list with no one prior to writing it up. Also try as I did I missed some movies in the last 12 months, sorry if that included some of your faves, buuut I can't list them if I didn't see them.
