I wasn't planning on having time to do one of our "Siri Says" series today what with my NYFF screening eating up half of the afternoon, but then I asked my phone for a number and it gave me "7" and I thought I could probably rattle off a list from The Movies of 2007 pretty easily because I already did that before -- 2007 was the first year I tried to do such a thing, right here in this post.
But it turns out that 2007 was a really really good year for the movies, you guys, and I kind of couldn't narrow this down to just five. It has to be ten. Hell it could've been 20 I think - there are titles in the runners-up that in a shittier year could've pushed their way to the front. And my list has actually changed a little bit in the 10 years since these movies came out, too. (And yes, all of these movies turn 10 this year.) So here is my revised list.

Love the movies you cited. But I would add this bunch as well:
-Enchanted
-Les Chanson D'amour (Love Songs)
-Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
-À l'intérieur (Inside) - how is this not on your list?!!
-Jogo de Cena (Playing) - my favorite Brazilian movie and favorite doc and favorite women who lie to themselves movie of all time. A must watch.

Shelter

Hairspray
Away from Her
La Vie en Rose
Waitress
Fracture

Not enough people talk about or have seen BUG. Such a good unsettling movie.
