My good pals at indieWIRE asked friends and bloggers (I barely count in the latter category anymore!) for top 10 films of 2007. You can see my list there, or here:

1. "The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford"
2. "Hold Me Tight, Let Me Go"
3. "Once"
4. "Eastern Promises"
5. "In The Shadow Of The Moon"
6. The pre-war part of "Atonement"
7. "Control"
8. "In Search Of A Midnight Kiss"
9. "Tell No One"
10. "Superbad"

(I don't know whether to base my choices on US release dates, UK release dates, or festivals. But these are the films I loved this year. Still haven't seen some big ones like "No Country" and "Michael Clayton.")

AND an update -- I have now seen Michael Clayton, thankfully it was still in cinemas in NC after being long gone from London. That would easily go in my top 10. What a script, and Tilda and George were great.

Also, forgot to list some other faves in my top 10 -- The Host, Lake Of Fire (even though I saw it at Raindance 2006) and My Kid Could Paint That.
