1. Into the Wild (2007)
An inspirational tale of finding refuge in the greatest place on earth. It will most likely make my Top 100 Films list in the next couple of years.

2. Charlie Wilson's War (2007)

3. American Gangster (2007)
Two modern screen legends are flawless in this unique look into American life during the Vietnam War.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 715  Average listal rating (532 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.8 
4. Superbad (2007)
Seth Rogen's script combined with a hilarious cast made this the funniest film of the year.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 766  Average listal rating (519 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.5 
5. Knocked Up (2007)
The funniest and most realistic film about pregnancy I've ever seen. Star-making roles for nearly everyone in the cast.
Stehako's rating:

6. Ratatouille (2007)
I was among only a few who didn't doubt this would be a solid follow up to Pixar's perfect record.
Stehako's rating:

7. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Cowa... (2007)
This captivating film provided some of the most visually stunning scenes this year. If you desire to be a cinematographer, see this film.

8. No Country for Old Men (2007)
Somehow this film about drugs and mindless slaughtering was fun... oh yeah, it's a Coen Brothers film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 438  Average listal rating (299 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.9 
9. 3:10 to Yuma (2007)
I'd like to say this will bring the Western back, but they'll unfortunately never come back.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 89  Average listal rating (56 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 8.3 
10. The King of Kong (2007)
One of the most entertaining documentaries I've ever seen. (The only Doc to ever make my yearly top 10)
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 664  Average listal rating (411 ratings) 8.3  IMDB Rating 8.2 
11. There Will Be Blood (2007)
This is technically one of the best films made in the last decade; but I just couldn't care about enough about the characters to rank it higher
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 381  Average listal rating (260 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 6.6 
12. Blades of Glory (2007)
Another fun/dumb comedy with Will Ferrell. It would have ranked higher if they chose someone funnier than Jon Heder.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 867  Average listal rating (549 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 8.2 
13. The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
The best of the trilogy, I just can't get enough of this guy.

14. Across the Universe (2007)
I was a Beatles fan before this film; but now I'm a fanatic.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 476  Average listal rating (324 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.3 
15. Sunshine (2007)
Danny Boyle's best film to date. Visually remarkable and a very intriguing story with some rather strange surprises.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 258  Average listal rating (165 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating
16. Dan in Real Life (2007)
A good-hearted and well-written comedy that lets me forgive Carell for Doing Evan Almighty.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 744  Average listal rating (441 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating
17. Ocean's Thirteen (2007)
Although better than 'Twelve', this third film still couldn't recapture the brilliance of the first. But obviously it was still enjoyable enough to be at 17.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1260  Average listal rating (846 ratings) 7.6  IMDB Rating 7.9 
18. Juno (2007)
A unique script played out by an terrific ensemble cast.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 223  Average listal rating (146 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.4 
19. Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)
Sydney Lumet has done it again, finally! I can see this film becoming even more likable with age.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 911  Average listal rating (574 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.9 
20. Zodiac (2007)
A well-executed murder mystery film that moves along in a non-formulaic pace.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 65  Average listal rating (41 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.9 
21. The Hoax (2006)
A fantastic role for Gere in this unique look into the life of Howard Hughes.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 327  Average listal rating (188 ratings) 7.8  IMDB Rating 8.1 
22. Once (2006)
A splendid indie-musical that will keep you humming and smiling for days.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 406  Average listal rating (210 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating 7.1 
23. I'm Not There. (2007)
A very stylistic look at the many personalities of Bob Dylan and the various stages of his life. Blanchett gives it her all yet again and the results are noteworthy.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 199  Average listal rating (133 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.5 
24. Rescue Dawn (2006)
I'm guessing this didn't do very well at the box office because of its unoriginal premise; but it was still damn entertaining.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 266  Average listal rating (166 ratings) 7.4  IMDB Rating 7.6 
25. Lars and the Real Girl (2007)
A story that will make you think twice, probably several times about how you live your life and treat others.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 712  Average listal rating (483 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating 7.5 
26. Live Free or Die Hard (2007)
The fourth installment is a success, I am looking forward to a fifth.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1185  Average listal rating (707 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.8 
27. Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Stre... (2007)
A terrific musical that didn't want to be one (my observation from its non-musical promotions). I felt guilty for liking it afterward; but enjoyed the music nonetheless.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 329  Average listal rating (211 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.5 
28. Michael Clayton (2007)
An intelligent film with Wilkinson's best performance yet and Clooney doing his thing.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 141  Average listal rating (78 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating
29. Black Book (2006)
One of the best foreign pictures I've seen the last couple of years. Van Houton puts in a powerful performance that should be talked about; but probably won't be.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 466  Average listal rating (293 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.3 
30. The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
Another clever/stylish film from Wes Anderson. If you're a fan of his, you won't be disappointed. If you're not, don't see this film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 180  Average listal rating (89 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 6.1 
31. Factory Girl (2006)
I am now in love with Sienna Miller after watching this film. She reminded me a bit of Audrey Hepburn but even sexier.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 74  Average listal rating (60 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.5 
32. Hot Rod (2007)
A hilarious film that I only recently saw; so its position may rise over time. I am now an Adam Samberg fan.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 143  Average listal rating (86 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.5 
33. In the Valley of Elah (2007)
Tommy Lee Jones is back to acting in good films and I can't say enough about his performance in this one. The story could have used a little more work with a little less propaganda.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1025  Average listal rating (691 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.1 
34. I Am Legend (2007)
Very few actors can pull off an entire movie in solitude and that is why people love Will Smith. I am one of those people.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1808  Average listal rating (1079 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating
35. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End (2007)
For some reason people were disappointed with the third film. I felt it was the best one.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 351  Average listal rating (221 ratings) 8.1  IMDB Rating 8.5 
36. The Lives of Others (2006)
Another great German film with Sebastian Koch (also in Black Book).
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 276  Average listal rating (184 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 7.9 
37. Gone Baby Gone (2007)
Affleck directing Affleck. I had my doubts, but was pleasantly wrong in the end.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 298  Average listal rating (158 ratings) 7.9  IMDB Rating 8.1 
38. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (2007)
A very interesting film that delivered well but I felt they could have done more with the concept.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 439  Average listal rating (315 ratings) 7.7  IMDB Rating 7.8 
39. Eastern Promises (2007)
It was all good and 'Top 20' worthy until the shower fighting scene. Come on now.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 262  Average listal rating (158 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating
40. Surf's Up (2007)
A fun animated film shot half in a documentary style with great voicing talents from Labouf, Heder and Bridges.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1787  Average listal rating (1025 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.4 
41. Spider-Man 3 (2007)
Yeah, a little too much going on here. You could never really get into one story line enough to be blown away like the first two. But still entertaining enough to be at 41.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 450  Average listal rating (260 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.3 
42. Hairspray (2007)
A great cast with pretty good music and an okay storyline.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 198  Average listal rating (137 ratings) 5.4  IMDB Rating 5.9 
43. The Heartbreak Kid (2007)
Yet another very funny film to put on the Farrelly Brothers' resume. Not one of their funniest; but still plenty of memorable lines and moments to take home with you.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 8  Average listal rating (6 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 6.7 
44. Great World of Sound (2007)
This very unseen film is about a couple average guys unknowingly duping people into signing record deals at a cost. But what makes this really unique is they were real people and unaware of the type of filming until it was over.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 138  Average listal rating (91 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.8 
45. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
A very funny movie that was unfortunately just as stupid. The soundtrack is the best part of the package.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 298  Average listal rating (186 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.8 
46. Reign Over Me (2007)
Cheadle and Sandler make a great team in this depressing but inspiring look at a widow of the 9/11 attacks.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 290  Average listal rating (172 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 6.9 
47. Alpha Dog (2006)
A surprisingly arresting film about a kidnapping gone way out of hand. A great cast and an enjoyable pace.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 598  Average listal rating (383 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 7.9 
48. Atonement (2007)
Superb film making but it lacked any emotional attachment for me.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 554  Average listal rating (384 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.9 
49. 1408 (2007)
I don't like slasher movies and I rarely enjoy horror movies because they don't actually scare me. This film scared me on a few different levels, plus it had me fooled many times.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 58  Average listal rating (29 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 7.5 
50. The Namesake (2006)
Kal Penn should do more films like this. Come on, Kal - "Epic Movie" films or "The Namesake" films, make the right choice.
