Comments on: my personal best-movies-of-2007 list http://info-fetishist.org/2007/12/30/my-personal-best-movies-of-2007-list/ yeah, it's long -- I didn't have time to make it shorter Fri, 18 May 2012 17:15:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Anne-Marie http://info-fetishist.org/2007/12/30/my-personal-best-movies-of-2007-list/#comment-6 Mon, 31 Dec 2007 11:24:11 +0000 http://infofetishist.wordpress.com/2007/12/30/my-personal-best-movies-of-2007-list/#comment-6 That’s a great example of how personal and idiosyncratic this list really is. I really liked Pan’s Labyrinth, and would more readily recommend it to more people than some of the movies that did make the list. But it just didn’t have the same impact on me, personally, as these five did. It’s not so much a matter of “x and y” were better in these movies than they were in Pan’s Labyrinth as it is, “I wasn’t still thinking about Pan’s Labyrinth a month after I saw it”

If you didn’t see Children of Men, though, I’d suggest renting it. I get the sense that it doesn’t quite have the same impact at home as it did in the theater, but it’s a really powerful movie.

I haven’t seen the others on your top list, so they are moving up in my movie queue.

Surprised that Pan’s Labyrinth didn’t make the top set. It was easily in my top 5 from a filmmaking/storytelling perspective.

Thanks -
