The 50 Best Movies of 2007 (and the 10 Worst)

by Moviefone Staff

Some 300 movies came out in 2007, and we managed to see almost every one that mattered (sorry, 'Who's Your Caddy?'). Hollywood had a good year, despite all those three-quel let-downs. We battled like Spartans (but with fewer casualties) to hammer out this...

Jeffrey M. Anderson's 400 Screens, 400 Blows - Early Kudos

by Jeffrey M. Anderson

It may be a bit early for this, but I wanted to get my two cents in on some of my favorite performances of 2007 so far, especially since most of these will probably get overlooked in the great Oscar crush of December. The awards almost always go to actors...

Your Reviews

Great movie! In the tradition of Hitchcock you know in advance how it will turn out, but the suspense is in trying to figure out how Cooper will get caught. Cooper's quiet intensity and the cast's l... ow-key acting throughout were perfect... But reading the posts here it appears most of today's movie fans are more entertained by reality TV! I only pray Hollywood doesn't surrender. . Full Review

Just saw the best intrigue as of late; and, no bang-em-up, bloody violence as in so much of today's media. Lot's of true deception by an intelligent, but religious fanatic/sexual deviant. Cooper shou... ld be nominated for an academy award for his exceptional job of playing the part of Hanssen. Am anxious to read the book........... Full Review

A very taut and intelligent espionage movie. For those looking for blood, gore, obscene language and someone getting their head blow off every other minute, look elsewhere or.....bring out your CD of... "The Departed". However, if you are looking for an intelligent movie with reality and character, I highly recommend this smart well directed real spy thriller. Full Review
