100. Eagle vs Shark (2007)

#100

A very low budget and charming New Zealand film with Jemaine Clement, from "Flight of the Conchords"

99. I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2006)
Garland is pretty funny in this unique indie film about finding someone to love.

98. Disturbia (2007)
Enjoyable for what it is, an updated version of Hitchcock's "Rear Window".

People who added this item 292  Average listal rating (192 ratings) 5.1  IMDB Rating 5.5 
97. Fred Claus (2007)
About one truly funny scene in the whole movie. It only gets this position because I can't help but Like Vince Vaughn and Elizabeth Banks is in it too!

96. We Own the Night (2007)
Wow, I don't know why I watched this. It actually was a bit better than I thought; but maybe I was confused by Eva Mendez's nipple slip at the beginnning.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 2004  Average listal rating (1237 ratings) 6  IMDB Rating 6.2 
95. The Number 23 (2007)
What the hell happened here? I can't help but still love Carrey, as he's one of my favorites; but damn it, this was disappointing.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1732  Average listal rating (1052 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 6.9 
94. P.S. I Love You (2007)
Lovey Dobey; but good to watch with your lady.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 634  Average listal rating (363 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.6 
93. The Kite Runner (2007)
A well-made but too depressing film.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 257  Average listal rating (161 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.5 
92. The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)
A sweet little Scottish family film that doesn't wow you at any point; but makes you care for a huge sea creature nonetheless.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 389  Average listal rating (201 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 6.8 
91. Rendition (2007)
An average modern war film with underwhelming performances by a great cast.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 980  Average listal rating (601 ratings) 5.6  IMDB Rating
90. Rush Hour 3 (2007)
Least best of the three. Still has some funny lines and good action.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1045  Average listal rating (732 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 7.1 
89. Shooter (2007)
Whalberg turns in his usual meager performance but Kate Mara makes up for it and the film actually delivers a few surprises and maintained my interest.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 53  Average listal rating (26 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.2 
88. My Kid Could Paint That (2007)
A comical story about what most of us think when we're in modern art galleries. Because they started filming early on in the family's career, it made it interesting not knowing where they were going with the doc.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 54  Average listal rating (29 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.6 
87. The TV Set (2006)
Duchovny is great in this flat film about TV shows making it on the air.

Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 235  Average listal rating (137 ratings) 5.9  IMDB Rating
86. Margot at the Wedding (2007)
Baumbach writing mixed with his usual directing of unusual performances.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 498  Average listal rating (317 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating
85. The Kingdom (2007)
Decent modern war story; but too generic to really hold my interest enough to see it ever again.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 626  Average listal rating (383 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 6.8 
84. Meet the Robinsons (2007)
Surprisingly good. A few twists and turns and average CG animation.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 681  Average listal rating (407 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating
83. Black Snake Moan (2006)
A strange film that made me feel dirty; but still good quality and Jackson does great in this music-centered role.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 420  Average listal rating (230 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 6.8 
82. 2 Days in Paris (2007)
A lot of interesting dialogue with two actors I really like. It just didn't seem a like a movie, though. It could have worked better as a 20 minute short.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 137  Average listal rating (71 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating
81. Color Me Kubrick (2005)
Malkovich has a blast with this role but I kind of lost interest half way through after seeing him pull the same stuff over and over.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 379  Average listal rating (203 ratings) 7.3  IMDB Rating 7.5 
80. The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006)
A sad but well-made Irish War film.

Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 879  Average listal rating (485 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 6.8 
79. Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007)
Even slower paced than first. Owen adds some interesting scenes, and of course the story is good and Cate will always be amazing.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 526  Average listal rating (332 ratings) 7.2  IMDB Rating 7.4 
78. Freedom Writers (2007)
Nothing too wildly original in this film that found Swank stuck in a poorly written script; but still comes out looking good.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1524  Average listal rating (956 ratings) 6.1  IMDB Rating 6.5 
77. National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
Nick Cage finds things and then more things and throws in some smart ass humor and then finds more things until he finds what he really wants.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 311  Average listal rating (195 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating
76. Breach (2007)
Cool story, interesting pace, and a bit of a thinker.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1284  Average listal rating (812 ratings) 5.7  IMDB Rating
75. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry (2007)
Middle of the pack for Sandler and his gang. Funny cameos and it actually does a good job of NOT making fun of gays.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1430  Average listal rating (883 ratings) 6.9  IMDB Rating 7.4 
74. The Bucket List (2007)
Two great actors in a decent film about getting it done before you kick it.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 848  Average listal rating (465 ratings) 7.4  IMDB Rating 7.6 
73. La Vie en Rose (2007)
Beautiful performance by Cotillard; but the story didn't interest me as much as the singing.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1452  Average listal rating (865 ratings) 6.3  IMDB Rating 6.5 
72. Music and Lyrics (2007)
Pop goes my heart!

71. Shrek the Third (2007)
Terribly disappointing after the comedic success of the second one but still able to illicit some laughs.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 486  Average listal rating (295 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating
70. Curse of the Golden Flower (2006)
Great cinematography with the usual Zhang flair... and that's about it.

Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 4398  Average listal rating (2777 ratings) 7.1  IMDB Rating 7.4 
69. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007)
Pretty decent new leg to the saga
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 280  Average listal rating (145 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 6.6 
68. King of California (2007)
It's refreshing to see Douglas back in a likable role and movie and Evan Rachel Wood has gotten my attention this year with this movie and "Across the Universe"
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 711  Average listal rating (448 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.4 
67. Mr. Brooks (2007)
A wild role for Costner, possibly his best non-sports role I've seen since 'Wolves'. The ending of the film was awesome if it ended when it should have. If they stuck with the scene I'm referring to then this film could have made the top 50.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1694  Average listal rating (1071 ratings) 5.8  IMDB Rating 6.1 
66. The Golden Compass (2007)
Solid cinematography and the greatest polar bear fight caught on film.

Stehako's rating:

Stehako's rating:

Great music, a bit hokey, but good clean fun
Stehako's rating:

63. Manda Bala
A wild documentary that will have you scared to ever visit Sau Paulo
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1824  Average listal rating (1121 ratings) 6.5  IMDB Rating 7.2 
62. Enchanted (2007)
How could you not love Amy Adams after this film? Some fun songs, too!
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 321  Average listal rating (191 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating 7.2 
61. The Savages (2007)
Solid script and fun performances in this indie comedy.

Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 63  Average listal rating (36 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.2 
60. Talk to Me (2007)
A fun look at a crazy DJ during the Civil Rights movement of the 60s. Cheadle is awesome, as usual.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 765  Average listal rating (439 ratings) 7.7  IMDB Rating 7.7 
59. Control (2007)
Love... love will tear us apart.

And it did.

58. 300 (2006)
Excellent fight scenes and one gorgeous Lena Headey
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 147  Average listal rating (97 ratings) 6.7  IMDB Rating 6.7 
57. Seraphim Falls (2006)
A bear bones adventure with two grounded performances from Neeson and Brosnan

Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 115  Average listal rating (70 ratings) 7  IMDB Rating 7.4 
56. 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.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 1313  Average listal rating (766 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.8 
55. Hairspray (2007)
A great cast with pretty likable music and an okay storyline.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 84  Average listal rating (28 ratings) 6.6  IMDB Rating 7.2 
54. Confessions of a Superhero (2007)
Another noteworthy documentary from 07. They were able to capture some awesome interviews and find some cooky real-life characters. I wanted to keep following them after the credits rolled.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 761  Average listal rating (493 ratings) 6.8  IMDB Rating 7.1 
53. Fracture (2007)
Hopkins finally comes out with a good flick and Gosling is on a roll.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 2286  Average listal rating (1538 ratings) 7.5  IMDB Rating 7.9 
52. Hot Fuzz (2007)
A buddy cop movie in a way only the British can pull off.
Stehako's rating:

People who added this item 957  Average listal rating (653 ratings) 6.2  IMDB Rating 6.7 
51. Shoot 'Em Up (2007)
The title says it all. From start to finish this is a wild ride and gloriously violent.

Stehako's rating:



In the opinion of Stephen H Koontz

Out of the 147 films I saw in this glorious year, these are my favorite 100, in order.

83 films with a 3.5 star rating or higher and 109 with 3, this was a great year!
Plus 8 films with 5 stars!

Great job for putting 'Into the Wild' at number 1. That movie should of won Best Picture at the Oscars.

Thanks, I agree. Not sure why it wasn't even considered
