Best and Worst Lists

This will probably be subject to some updates over the next few days. But I thought it'd make sense to look back over the past year's viewings and pick some best/worst. I won't limit it to ten, nor will I number them. I really just don't know how to rank films that explicitly. But I can probably pick out some of my favorites. The best viewed in 2007 will stay on the right side of the blog for a bit with links to their IMDB pages.

They're not in order - really! :-)

Favorite screenings
  • The Missing Star
  • Juno
  • Congorama
  • Michael Clayton
  • Superbad
  • The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
  • Never Again as Before
  • Four Minutes
  • The Boss of it All
  • French for Beginners
  • My Best Friend
  • The Host
Least favorite screenings (which isn't totally fair as I'm not a critic who's forced to see practically everything that's out. These are things I thought I wanted to see)
  • Offscreen
  • One Day Like Rain
  • Lions for Lambs
  • Expired
  • I Really Hate this Job
  • Elizabeth the Golden Age
Favorite documentaries
  • King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters
  • No End in Sight
  • In the Shadow of the Moon
  • The Champagne Spy
  • Crazy Love

Films I sort of liked - but can't explain why

  • Madrigal
  • Southland Tales
  • Dasepo's Naughty Girls

Some of these are available already on DVD at Amazon.com. You'll need a region free DVD player for several.
