Movies watched in 2007

December 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Unlike last year, I am not going to split this apart into any categories and am only listing them chronologically. I am also only listing them by months instead of by explicit date. Those seen in the theater are so noted, as are a few other details of little relevance to anyone else.

Last year’s list

As best as I remember:

  • * - particularly enjoyed. I have no doubt that there are others I really enjoyed but I am not sure which.
  • ** - one of this year’s favorites

It appears that I saw almost 91 movies new to me this year. Yes, I watched more than this. Except in 3 cases, I did not list any movies that I had seen before.

I certainly recommend any with * and I highly recommend those with **, at least if your movie mind is wrapped as oddly as mine.
