(Note: this post was made pre-blog days on Facebook.)
It was tricky picking my favourite movies this year. I compiled a list before the holidays, and then during the holidays I saw a buncha good stuff. I couldn't leave off the ones that were originally on the list so this is a Top 14 list. The top 5 were hard to sort, they kept shifting around.
1. No Country for Old Men
2. Into the Wild
3. Juno
4. Sunshine
5. 3:10 Yuma
6. Atonement
7. Grindhouse
8. Ratatouille
9. Eastern Promises
10. The Bourne Ultimatum
===============
(11) Zodiac
(12) Stardust
(13) Knocked Up
(14) The Orphanage
