Top Tens: 2007

Ah, a good year. It was 2008 when I got into cinema fully, but judging from this year too - if you see the whole list here - 2007 was as important. The fact that many films were only getting released in 2008 in the United Kingdom meant that a lot of the films being mentioned below had an impact along with those from the following year. Yes, There Will Be Blood is not this Top Ten, nor Zodiac, but any of the films mentioned here are strong enough by themselves to be included.
