Z's Top Ten of 2007

Well everyone who's anyone in the film world makes a top ten list every year so of course, I had to jump on the bandwagon as well! Now this was no easy feat. This year's crop of films were some of the best of the last ten years. I tried to create a list that reflected the diversity of great cinema 2007 offered. It was a fantastic year for comedies and action films, gangster flicks and westerns, but perhaps more than anything it was a great year for writing. Nearly every film on my list was driven by a powerful scrreenplay and some amazing filmmakers who knew precisely how to bring those scripts to life. So, without further adieu, here we go...

(Sidebar: There are still several films from 2007 I have left to see and critique so definitely stay tuned for an addendum to this list.)
