Best Movies I Saw in 2007
I am finally get off my Holiday influenced duff and started blogging again after my Christmas/New Years break. Here is a my summary lists of 2007.
Here is a list of the best movies that I've seen in the year 2007. These are not all released in 2007 but it was around when I got to see them.
I there are eight great movies that I saw in 2007. Three of them are zombie movies.
Best Movies I Saw in 2007
1. TekkonKinkreet
An absolutely incredible animated movie based on a moody overtly creative Manga.
2. King of Kong : A Fist Full of Quarters
A really awesome documentary about Donkey Kong champions. I am going to see if I can interview the subjects. If Steve from the movie is reading this give me an email.
3. Fido
An sarcastic black comedy about conformity in suburbia but with pet slave zombies.
4. Black Sheep
An New Zealand movie about killer zombie mutant sheep and if you are bit by them you turn into a killer zombie sheap.
5. Blade Runner : The Final Cut
6. F*ck : a documentary
A very enlightening documentary about a famous obscene word, includes interviews with the political far right, Hunter S. Thompson, adult film actresses, linguistic experts and comedians like Drew Carey.
7. Tears of the Black Tiger
A retro inspired psychedelics spaghetti western set in Thailand in the 1950s.
8. Flight of the Dead
A pretty good B-Movie about killer zombies on a giant plane.

I didn't see very many movies this year. Unfortunately King of Kong isn't coming out in Australia so my brother and I are going to have to import it.

I was going to give a top ten of my favorite films of the year, but then I realized that due to having Netflix for the majority of 2007, I really wasn't paying attention to the films release years.
As a result, I saw too many good films this year. For 2007, I'd say that Knocked Up, Letters from Iwo Jima and Hard Candy are among some of my favorites. Getting my wife to like (and subsequently really enjoy) Chopper was a boon!
I was disappointed by more than a few films too. Some examples: 28 Weeks Later, Death Proof, Inside Man and The Fountain, to name a few.
Special mention should go to Syriana- a film that I'm not afraid to admit made me feel incredibly stupid. Maybe I am, but if the director wants to gain my interest in the subject matter, then they shouldn't actively try to make the material so dense.
