Favorite Movies of 2007
Well, as the title implies, list your favorite mixed drinks. I'm just being a smartass. There were a lot of good movies released in 2007 (American, at least, since I won't be pretentious and pretend to have seen many foreign films, good as I'm sure they were), so list yours!
Here are mine: 3:10 to Yuma American Gangster Atonement The Bourne Ultimatum Charlie Wilson's War Enchanted The Great Debaters Hairspray Juno The Kite Runner Knocked Up No Country for Old Men Ratatouille Superbad Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street There Will Be Blood Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story Sorry I'm, like, almost three months late with this post. |

Wow, for a second there, I was gonna have a cow if no one mentioned Hot Fuzz. Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed that movie, rofl.
It does help that I'm a big Simon Pegg fan, but I thought this movie was even better than Shaun of the Dead (I love Z movies more than anything, so it's a real treat when one is actually FUNNY.) But yeah, Superbad was good, too. It brought me back to my HS days. Hell, my dad even got a kick out of it. (btw I don't know your policy on necro-ing here, so please let me know if I'm pissing anyone off.) |

If you look at the first post, you can see that the thread is only 2 weeks old, so this wasn't even necroing :P |
I was being half playful in my response. thanks for the concern though
|
Superbad was my favorite. It was hilarious :D

And although I've only just seen it, it's a 2007 movie so I'll add 'Lars and the Real Girl' to my favourites. Perfectly performed, wonderfully warm with surprising emotional depth. It is never mocking, which surprised me in a movie about a guys non-sexual relationship with a sex doll and the small towns kindness toward him and 'Bianca'. |
I don't know, I liked that in Superbad you seemed to be with them the whole day, almost like you were a part of their spectacle. I thought that was pretty interesting. I don't know if I would have gotten the same feeling if I saw it at home instead of the theater, though.

I like Superbad because it reminds me of high school and my never-ending quest to get drunk and laid, but I prefer Knocked Up not because it's necessarily funnier, but because I just love the characters and especially the dialogue. These people and conversations remind me of people and conversations in my own life, which puts me in a happy rainbow Teletubbies Barney place.
I can imagine my oldest sister telling my youngest sister something like "You've got the good skin and the good hair and the good boobs and I fucking hate you" or "He's got bad genes and manboobs; he's 23 and looks 33; you really made a mistake" or my boss telling someone to "Go home, write down how much you weigh, subtract 20 and then try to weigh that much, maybe by next Tuesday." That and Leslie Mann is the fucking man. |
I preferred Knocked Up because the writing was better, the characters were better, I laughed more and it had a better cast. Though that makes it sound like I hate Superbad, I really don't. I just prefer Knocked Up. Superbad gave me a lot of chuckles but it was never laugh out loud, tears in my eyes funny whereas there were several scenes in Knocked Up that were for me. Superbad's humour and setting was a bit one dimensional, and I'm totally fine with that; I have no problem with high school comedies, I just felt that Knocked Up offered more. Especially cos I'm a fan of Apatows TV shows 'Freaks and Geeks' and 'Undeclared' (Check them out) and it's nice to see his regulars pop up.
Anyway, if you liked em both and the general Apatow/Rogen crew then check out the trailer for Pineapple Express. |
Honestly, I don't remember much about either of the two, but those lines COSMO wrote were some of my favorite parts too. I just remember enjoying the experience of Superbad more. But, yea, really great movies both of them.

Superbad was a great theater experience. That movie had the entire audience in either stitches or shock the whole way through. The penis segment sticks out (up?) the most to me right now.
Gotta be honest, here. Pineapple Express doesn't really appeal to me. Maybe it's a grower, not a shower? I'll probably end up seeing it. |
The part that always sticks out for me from Superbad is when the girl says "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours" and then the guy's response is just gold :D.
