<strong>Body:</strong> So I picked Chad from Burn After Reading.  Of course!  It's the Coen brothers duh!  But really this is probably my favorite Brad Pitt role ever.  It's hard to say, but Jeffrey Goines from Twelve Monkeys might still be my fave. Not that Brad wasn't already willing to make himself look silly on screen, but I still love how the Coens kind of subverted his image to make him such a spaztic dork.  And what becomes of the character is such a shocker! "You think that's a Schwinn!" He was tons of fun in the recent Inglorious Basterds too I thought, even though Christoph Waltz definitely stole the show in that film. Those are actually the only two films I've seen on this list.  I've been wanting to see Babel and The Assassination of Jesse James for quite a while though so I was curious to see how much votes they would get in this poll.  But I was surprised to see that almost every category is getting an equal ammount of votes.  I guess that means it's a pretty good poll then! Has anyone here seen Bejamin Button?  I'd heard from a lot of people I trust that it wasn't that impressive.  Anyone here have any opinions?<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> This was difficult to judge because I enjoyed every one of these posts. First place --  Big_Eyes. Great all-around cast. Here are some of my favorite pickss:    Casey Affleck as  JackTorrance. Sure he's young, but he proved in Gone Baby Gone and The Assassination of Jesse James that he has real gravitas.  Maggie Gyllenhaal as Wendy Torrance. She has an innocent quality that really hooks me when she's in trouble, like in The Dark Knight. I would root for her and her son the whole time.  Forest Whitaker as Dick Hallorann. Whitaker's another actor who's great at playing innocent. As Halloran, he'd be a real down-to-earth, vulnerable hero.  Steve Buscemi as Lloyd the Bartender. When is this guy not worth watching?  Tcheky Karyo as the ghost Delbert Grady. That guy is great. How did he get in Bad Boys? Second place -- gsanchet. Bold move to reset the film in the American southwest. I love a lot of the cast, especially Benicio Del Toro as Jack Torrance and Edward James Olmos as thes super-disturbing ghost, Larry Durkin. In these pictures, Olmos looks kind of like a grizzled, older Del Toro. Maybe he could play Del Toro's dead uncle! gsanchet, you deserve a t-shirt too.   Special nod to Leeroy711's Christmas-themed cast. I highly recommend reading his entire post while listening to the Oingo Boingo song he kindly embedded. I especially like the idea of Yukon Cornelius as Jack, breaking down the door with his icepick, and Rudolph as Dick Halloran, whose Shine emanates from his magical red nose. Other nods... alx -- Matthew Fox would be a great Jack Torrance.  doc-sarp -- People keep telling me I need to watch The Wire. Chris Bauer sure looks the part of Jack Torrance. And wow, Brendan Gleeson as Delbert Grady? Gleeson is such a lovable, avuncular figure, it woudl be truly chilling to see this guy telling Jack to 'correct' his family.      <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> So here are my favorites, with my most favorites at the top: No Country for Old Men The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters For the Bible Tells Me So - pretty great documentary.  Surprised I've never heard anyone mention it on any of the discussions here. Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters - almost as long of a title as The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Grindhouse Paris, je t'aime - this one made the film festival rounds in 2006 but didn't really get a wider theatrical release in the US until 2007 Rescue Dawn - same case as Paris, je t'aime Fay Grim - also the same case Honerable mention - Election Day - a lot of you probably haven't seen this but my girlfriend knows one of the producers and I saw a screening of it at the Gene Siskel center.  Worth checking out. BTW, I have yet to see There Will Be Blood, but I can't doubt it will make my list.<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> Thanks for reminding me about Michael Clayton--I forgot that was '07.  I really enjoyed Clooney's performance, and the movie dealt with ethics in a very deep, real way without making everything obtusely black and white.  But... Ocean's 13?  Really?  I liked the Ocean's series and the Rat Pack/heist flicks they harkened back to, but I thought this to be the weakest of the bunch with a scattered plot and what seemed like endless inside jokes delivered at a pace that left the audience trying to catch up through the entire film, and further obscured any attempts at humor or storyline.  Maybe I'm just too slow for it :-) [quote user="SkyPilot"] I agree with a lot of picks from the other people. In no specific order, these are my favorites: 1. Ocean's 13 A heist film with a conscience. 2. Michael Clayton Deceit, courage, human connection, mission. 3. Eastern Promises A frightening gangster film that made London feel like a separate, exotic country. 4. Gone Baby Gone A private detective movie with a conscience. 5. Hot Fuzz Like Leeroy, I liked this one even more than Shaun of the Dead. 6. The Orphanage The closest I've ever come to screaming in the theater.  7. 3:10 to Yuma This really made me soul-search, and the ending leaves me breathless. 8. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Like falling asleep from a flavorful and slow-acting poison. 9. No Country for Old Men Looks like 2007 was Year of the Western. 10. American Gangster Not perfect, but I thought it was intense and affecting. I'd like to include The Fall, This Is England, and Rescue Dawn,but Spout says they were made in 2006. Maybe they were released in the US in 2007, but I'm not sure. Movies that didn't quite make my Top 10: Persepolis, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and There Will Be Blood. The last one in particular is great, but after seeing it 3 times I won't need to see it again for a loooong time.     [/quote]<br/>

I really enjoyed Clooney's performance, and the movie dealt with ethics in a very deep, real way without making everything obtusely black and white.  But... Ocean's 13?  Really?  I liked the Ocean's series and the Rat Pack/heist flicks they harkened back to, but I thought this to be the weakest of the bunch with a scattered plot and what seemed like endless inside jokes delivered at a pace that left the audience trying to catch up through the entire film, and further obscured any attempts at humor or storyline.  Maybe I'm just too slow for it :-) [quote user="SkyPilot"] I agree with a lot of picks from the other people. In no specific order, these are my favorites: 1. Ocean's 13 A heist film with a conscience. 2. Michael Clayton Deceit, courage, human connection, mission. 3. Eastern Promises A frightening gangster film that made London feel like a separate, exotic country. 4. Gone Baby Gone A private detective movie with a conscience. 5. Hot Fuzz Like Leeroy, I liked this one even more than Shaun of the Dead. 6. The Orphanage The closest I've ever come to screaming in the theater.  7. 3:10 to Yuma This really made me soul-search, and the ending leaves me breathless. 8. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford Like falling asleep from a flavorful and slow-acting poison. 9. No Country for Old Men Looks like 2007 was Year of the Western. 10. American Gangster Not perfect, but I thought it was intense and affecting. I'd like to include The Fall, This Is England, and Rescue Dawn,but Spout says they were made in 2006. Maybe they were released in the US in 2007, but I'm not sure. Movies that didn't quite make my Top 10: Persepolis, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, and There Will Be Blood.

[/quote] There Will Be Blood was great, but I don't really want to see it again if you know what I mean. It's not like a good friday night movie at all, unless you are feeling in a particularly dark mood, and maybe it's a terrible idea then too. I'm not sure what the proper mood or motivation to watch this movie would be. I eventually just bit the bullet and watched it. When it was over, I was tired and felt like a crazy person, but I loved it. So hard to explain. The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is the longest movie title in the world (I would actually really like to know what the longest movie title is). It's so hard to spit it out when people are like "what's good movie you've seen recently?" But, nonetheless, I do spit it out because it was beautiful and interesting and I loved the characters. Skypilot, how on earth did Hot Fuzz beat The Diving Bell and the Butterfly for your top ten? Were you just trying to be diverse in genre? I only say this because I think making a movie about a guy who can only communicate with one eye is incredibly difficult. I expected it to be the most arts, boring piece of crap I have ever seen. Ya know, the sterotypical french new wave kind of stuff that ends with "fin". But it wasn't, it was surprisingly human and colorful and full of life. It fits with something I read recently that "your plight is also your redemption". Good times.<br/>
