The Best Movies of 2007…According to IMDB

Jan 10

I don’t know about you but most (new) movies we rented and watched in 2007 left us staring at each other with a similar “WTF” expression on our faces.

Either the film was simply rotten and a total waste of time, or 5 minutes of enjoyment was spread over 2 hours.

Which is probably why we stick to our favorite series….

As most movies take up to a year to get released on DVD, I thought I’d compile the 25 best movies of 2007 according to their rating over at IMDB, the most comprehensive movie database on the web. Maybe we’ll be luckier this year.

  1. Go and BUY yourself a copy of Hot Fuzz.. imho one of the most brilliant movies of the last years :-D
    It’s from the same crew that did Shaun of the dead… which was also absolutely superb :-D

  2. “BUY”, like in “give money, receive purchase”? Interesting notion.. Have to try that one day! ;-)

  3. There aren’t that much flicks out there worth buying..
    but a few of them are…
    and those two are worth spending money on them :-D

  4. that reminds me of going more often to the movies. I have seen NONE of them.
    Today I´ve bought(yes, I´m the one who is supporting the film industry) me 2 DVD:
    - About a Boy (I know it´s 4 sisies but I like Hugh Grand)
    - Die Geschichte vom weinenden Kamel (it´s a great movie, if you like Rambo4 you will hate this one)

  5. Hey Mark, whazzzaaaaa???

    Are you watching all those movies before posting again?

  6. ;-) That was the general plan, but since there’s no way I’m going to manange, I guess I’ll have to start posting again!

    BTW: saw Hot Fuzz yesterday. I unfortunately cannot say that I share your enthusiasm: it was ok, but certainly did not deserve a 8.1..

  7. Thats great.. but… I’m not arguing about your taste… you don’t like apples and work for HAL :-D
