The 2007 Mini-List

[domino harvey]

I “like” the stabbing scene (though Fun already did it) but other than that the cult built around Zodiac as an all time great has always mystified me

2007 is the first year I don't have any I consider 10/10 & had to do a lot of viewing to try to come up with enough 8s (or close enough) to make a full list. It's also the first time I eventually ended up using 7/10s to fill out a complete 25. My own favorites really fell out from what I remember the critical consensus favorites to be in 2007, though surprisingly most of my list made it to top 50. Top 3 of the list turned out exactly as I expected, though they all get 7/10 from me (I actually revisited them to see what I was missing only to leave my original assessment completely unchanged). Least surprising top 50 for me so far if only because I found it to be such a lackluster year, though I was expecting 3:10 & Before the Devil to make it (by others' raves, not mine).

Mine was a list 13. I don’t think the list needs to be 25. Am I wrong?

[swo17]

It can be anywhere from 10-25

Also, why am I the only one who voted for Retribution? Did people think it belonged to 2006?

I watched it and liked it but didn't quite have room for it

Sorry for being cranky. Thanks for the great work again, swo. Onward to the final two years of the decade!
