Is 2007 the worst year there's been for decent movies?

Don't you buy Western films on DVD any more?

Mostly back catalogue titles... but if I do buy something new it's only if it's fairly cheap (like a premium rental) and I can resell it (which I inevitibly do).

A best of "without" A Mighty Heart? Okay. It and Bourne Ultimatum are easily the best two films of the year.

In terms of what films to watch? Not a sausage.

It's just a bit of fun 8) .

Only thing that suprises me with these kinds of lists, is that anyone does feel the need to care

people on forums esspecially get a bit mental and slag each other off, for what? liking a film.

Still Next years gonna be a winner already

Speaking of "Next", that film was cool, too.

romerojpg · Post by **romerojpg** » 14 Dec 2007, 20:02

I liked Next, but not many others did

it was a fun little film, nothing more and nothing less, easy going entertainment thats ofr sure. Jessica was georgous as always.

Those sort of movies that "almost" make greatness but you can tell the film-makers have just not bothered to go the extra mile annoy me.

They also annoy me as I could've spent the time watching a truly great film.

Nah theres always time for good easy going watchable films, they do not always have to be the best film ever made

Posted it in the review thread, but "Blades of Glory" is definitely the best Hollywood comedy from 2007. 4.5/5. 2007 was a good year for films.

You still say that compared to other years?

thelostdragon · Post by **thelostdragon** » 17 Dec 2007, 01:14

In comparison to 2006? Hmmm... according to DVD Profiler, I have 87 DVDs from films that were made in 2006. And only 17 that were made in 2007. In the beginning of next year, there are going to be further DVD releases from 2007 films, but I doubt that the DVDs from 2007 films will reach the 87 mark.

Maybe I just had more money to spend in 2006.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 17 Dec 2007, 01:22

I also bought way more films from 2006 than I have/I will from 2007. I've bought less than 10 from this year in fact. I think less than 5.
