Best film of 2007 (country, house, beatles, American, classics)

A close one for me. There is a couple of films that I have'nt got round to seeing (David Lynch's INLAND EMPIRE a prime example) this year and I'm not counting torrents either. Just officially released films.

Sunshine. (Danny Boyle). if this was made by a Hollywood studio it would have become another Alien rip off. Instead we get a superbly photographed, subliminally scored, well scripted existensial mindfúck masquerading as a sci'fi thriller.

THE FOUNTAIN nearly takes it, but I have a feeling that we may get a longer directors cut sometime next year that will elaboarate on the themes Aronofsky touched upon.

THIS IS ENGLAND was yet again another stunning effort from writer/director Shane Meadows.

Films that may have been up there if I had the money to buy them or opportunity to see them:

TELL NO ONE
THE LIVES OF OTHERS
NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN
CONTROL
RIGHT AT YOUR DOOR.

worst film of the year:TRANSFORMERS.
