Seems the ratio of crap:good movies increases every year ... From memory the most enjoyable I've seen this year were The Departed, Running Scared, The Big Nothing, Blood Diamond.

Anyone get any recommendations for good movies in the action, thriller, suspense mould ... Or even a good comedy (actually saw Knocked Up and Superbad too and didn't mind them)?

Zodiac was the best film of 2007 imo.

Excellent
Blood Diamond
The Departed
Casino Royale
Bourne Ultimatium
Ratatouille
Beowulf and Grendell
The Kingdom

Enjoyable
Shooter
The Simpsons
Transformers
Die Hard 4.0
Harry Potter
Deja vu
Stomp the Yard
Rescue Dawn
The Heartbreak Kid

Not Great
Music and Lyrics
The Guardian
Saw 4
Ghost Rider
We are Marshall
I Know pronounce you Chuck and Larry

Looking Forward To
The Dark Knight
Alien Vs Predator
Harry Potter 6
I am Legend
National Treasure

This list is/will be a great help to know which movies I should try and catch up with, thanks!

28 weeks later or 28 days later was ok, not edge of the seat stuff

mr brooks was good but that was probably last years release

Death at funeral was a good comedy

A vote with Pup on Bourne Ultimatum

Pup's recommendation's are good. Actually got most of those on my last trip to Thailand !!

I saw Blood Diamond the other night. Good movie. To follow the African theme, The Last King of Scotland is worth seeing - about Idi Amin and Uganda.

Enjoyed Hairspray, but then again I am into musicals

The Zodiac was the only movie I saw this year, but yeah, it was brilliant.

Yep terrific movie, forgot about that one.

Cheers for that list Pup ... I must admit I'd forgotten about the Bourne Ultimatum which I found as enjoyable as any movie I've seen in ages.

Watched We are Marshall on DVD last night and enjoyed it, but I do like sport themed movies.

Agree on the Departed and Blood Diamond, both great films.

One I saw at the movies was The Good Shepherd, I liked it but the missus couldn't follow and thought it was too long. Good thriller.

Rocky Balboa was fantastic. Watched it so many times I haven't had a chance to see many others. I first watched it last year but it didn't hit the cinemas here till this year so technically it sneaks in.

Agreed with others that Blood Diamond was good.

Ratatouille

Wasn't that film a little gem? Went kicking and screaming to that one but I absolutely loved it! Best of its kind.

Thought 'Control', the Ian Curtis flick was pretty good recently.

Have to agree Wedgie, I was pretty skeptical when Rocky Balboa was coming out. I have to say it suprised me. It was fantastic with a good story and theme.

I loved it.

Last King of Scotland, Knocked Up, Blood Diamond, Casino Royal are other noteworthy films.
I must say though it has not been a great few years of cinema.....I think HOLLYWOOD is running out of ideas hence all the remakes.....

Watched Twins the other night with Arnie and Danny Di Veto. According to the credits, the guitarist who played in the band, in the scene where the twins went dancing with the sisters, was Jeff Beck.
