Best Movies of 2007
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
There Will Be BloodDay-Lewis and Greenwood build a monster out of appetite and dissonant strings; the film sprawls anyway.Read the review
No Country for Old MenThe Coens strip out the score entirely and let wind, boots and a cattle gun do the scoring instead.
SuperbadThe last night of a friendship, disguised as a film about buying alcohol for a party.
RatatouilleA kitchen farce about a rat that turns out to be Pixar's sharpest argument about talent, criticism and where great art can come from.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert FordRoger Deakins shooting a slow murder ballad, with Casey Affleck playing envy better than almost anyone has.
Taare Zameen ParAamir Khan's directing debut sees dyslexia from inside a child's head, and Darsheel Safary's performance makes the sermon forgivable.
Knocked UpThe high point of the Apatow model: filthy, warm, generously written, and more interested in the marriage than the pregnancy.
I'm Not ThereHaynes turns a biopic into six competing rumours, and the sections that work more than pay for the one that stalls.
Lars and the Real GirlA doll picture that survives its own premise because Gosling refuses to let Lars become the punchline.
3:10 to YumaA tight two hander for most of its length, then a third act that trades its own logic for a big finish.
