The 10 Best Films of 2007

That's right!  It's time for the yearly 10-best list of Quarter to Three (this blog).  One of the problems, as you may remember, is that I don't quite see 10 films a year.  Anyway, without further hesitation, here it is:

1.  The Lives of Others (directed by Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck)

2.  I'm Not There (directed by Todd Haynes)

3.  Greensboro: Closer to the Truth (directed by Adam Zucker)

4.  L'avocat de la Terreur [Terror's Advocate] (directed by Barbet Schroeder)

5.  No Country for Old Men  (directed by Joel Coen and Ethan Coen)+

6.  Oswald's Ghost (directed by Robert Stone)

7.  The Fiddle and the Drum (directed by Joni Mitchell and Jean Grand-Maitre)

8.  Shrinks (directed by Gregg Brown)*

9.  Beirut: "Elephant Gun" (directed by Alma Har’el)**

10.  Hope Is Emo***
