The Top Ten Films of 2007, by Karen Wang
Our dear contributor Karen Wang is on holiday in China, but spent her last hours in the States running through theatrical screenings and DVDs to get this sucker done. So without further ado, ladies and gentlemen, Karen's first ever "best of" list, the Top Ten Movies of 2007.
1. The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
2. Lust, Caution

5. Golden Door
6. Sweeney Todd
7. This Is England
8. Still Life
9. 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days
10. The Lives of Others
But that's not all: Karen likes too many more movies to leave them off the VIP list, behold the top 11-20 movies of 2007! Wow!
11. The Business of Being Born
12. Planet B-Boy
13. (Tie) Rocket Science & Lars and the Real Girl

Also from Karen:
Please note the omissions: The Devil Came On Horseback; Persepolis; Flight of the Red Balloon; Atonement; The Savages; Sicko; The Orphanage; 3:10 to Yuma; I'm Not There; The Ballad of Esquiel Hernandez; Before the Devil Knows You're Dead; The Darjeeling Limited... I never got a chance to see any of the afore-mentioned films, though I badly wanted to.

Karen, I'm very happy to see you participating this year, which frankly makes a lot of sense as you seem to have seen more films than anyone else in 2006. Curiously, I saw as many films on your list of omissions as I did in your top twenty (a mere 6 on each). I would not say, however, that the films you missed are better than those you saw, save for "Flight of the Red Balloon" and "The Darjeeling Limited," two of my personal favorites.
