The Best Movies I Saw All Year, 2007 Edition.
I'm picking five this year: one from 1955, one from 2005, and three from 2006, to be posted in five parts in alphabetical order.
In case you were wondering what happened to 2007, Charles Burnett's Killer of Sheep was the best thing I saw on the big screen last year, but I already listed it a couple of years ago, so it doesn't count. I also really liked Danny Boyle's Sunshine, but it didn't quite make the cut. Plus I couldn't get out most of December to see any of the Oscar nominees or other films that dominated the critics lists -- actually, I don't even know what they were. People liked Juno, I'm told.)
These films have nothing in common, either. They're from all over the place (two from Korea, one from Germany, one from Denmark, one from the U.S.), and from totally different genres (one horror film, one documentary, one romantic comedy (kind of), one musical, and one Miracle Play).
At any rate, I'll be posting the entries slowly over the next few days.
