nice list(s) but I could have done without having to view 30+ ads just to read the entire list….sort of frustrating

Not a bad best of list, but what’s with The Mist being on the worst list? That’s one of the best times I’ve had at the movies this year, and Darabont’s best since Shawshank.

I want to see every movie on the list well not Attonement. I just can’t stand boring looking oscar bait period romances to me it seems just like a knock off of The English Patient. Eventhough i did not see Evan Almity i think 300 is the worst epic of the year. I rather see Manos hands of fate again instead of this movie.

I cant stop wondering why beowulf is not voted in the worst list. The movie sucks like hell.

Patty-o-Rac (Patrick) | 12/23/2007, 11:18 am EST

its a good list but dude just cause your not a girl doesn’t mean you have to not like hairspray im a guy and seriously the music was good. and if u dont like music then get off this website. P.S. if you watched all those movies READ!

Blade Runner? Seriously? Great movie…but it does not qualify for this year.

uh | 12/30/2007, 8:36 pm EST

i agree with MOST of this list.
but i think.
Across The Universe should have been in at least part of the list.
Juno? amazing.
and maybe superbad a bit higher. =]

Lilee | 12/30/2007, 8:51 pm EST

Joel | 7/16/2009, 7:11 pm EST

wow peter travers, you have a bad taste in movies, all of your favorites are boring easy going dramas, the mist should have easily topped the list of “best movies” but you obviously couldnt handle it being so much better than your favorite movies, you had to say it was bad, thats real low
