Top 10 Movies I saw in 2007

These are the top 10 movies that I enjoyed over the last year. I did not get to see all the good ones yet, so this may change. I haven't seen "The assasination of Jesse James", "Atonement" or "Rescue Dawn" yet. But these are just what I liked, I do not have any good insight into them.
1. No Country for Old Men - I really liked this movie, it was well acted and had a fast pace.

2. Michael Clayton - I just saw it, but I loved it. Everyone was good in it and I like upscale movies like this. I just do.

3. Easter Promises - I thought it was better than "A History of Violence". Viggo is really cool and I like the way this guy directs.

4. Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix - This is my 2nd favorite Harry Potter movie next to number 3. I just love the feel of imminent doom in this movie. And I think this is the best stand alone movie that has been made. You did not need to see the other 4 movies to enjoy this one.

5. There Will Be Blood - I really think Daniel Day Lewis' performance in this movie is overlooked! How come he hasn't gotten any praise!?

6. Across the Universe - Any movie plot that is driven by Beatles' songs is my friend. Not to mention it looked awesome

7. 3:10 to Yuma - I am not the biggest Western guy, but this was a lot of fun. And the guy Ben Foster plays is bad ass.

8.Juno - I laughed a lot and loved the music. Any time a dad swears to punch a kid in the wiener next time he sees him, I have to love the movie

9. Knocked Up - Maybe not as many laugh as hard as you can moments as "Superbad", but I loved the story and all the characters. Especially Paul Rudd

10. The Lookout - an awesome heist movie and Josepeh Gordan Levitt is turning in to an awesome actor
