Favorite Films Of 2007

I won’t limit myself to only 10 films from 2007. Instead, I’ll list all my favorites. And I won’t be calling them “The Best” as that’s simply impossible for me to judge. What I’m far more capable (and comfortable) deciding on are what films I most liked, was most effected by, moved by, haunted by, or simply enjoyed. I’ll also list some lesser favorites, some downright disappointments and, to keep things balanced, my absolute least favorite films of what was, overall, a very decent year for film.
