I'm fairly certain that Pan's Labyrinth was last year

I will post my top 10 movies later this year...but recently after seeing American Gangster and We Own the Night, those will forsure be on there.

American Ganster was absolutely wonderful.
It's my #1 this year, followed closely by 'Darjeeling Limited"-highly recommended.

I know it came out last year but I just saw The Lives of Others and it's fantastic.

Updated list:

1) Into the Wild (9)
2) *No Country for Old Men (9)
3) Assassination of Jesse James (8)
4) *Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (8)
5) Zodiac (8)
6) *Michael Clayton (8)
7) *Gone Baby Gone (8)
8) La Vie En Rose (8)
9) *Lars and the Real Girl (8)
10) Eastern Promises (8)

Close Calls:
The Bourne Ultimatum (8)
The King of Kong (8)
Rocket Science (8)
The Darjeeling Limited (7)
Rescue Dawn (7)
*American Gangster (7)

Perhaps it's just a matter of taste -- I just don't think Grindhouse is as good as any of the films above (even though the fake trailers were incredible)

What do "*" signify?

It means new since the last list.

1. No Country for Old Men (9.4)
2. Ratatouille (9.2)
3. No End in Sight (9.1)
4. Hot Fuzz (9.0)
5. Gone Baby Gone (8.6)
6. Paprika (8.4)
7. (tie)The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (8.1) and The Bourne Ultimatum (8.1)
9. Eastern Promises (7.8)
10. Knocked Up (7.7)

Still have not caught Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, but I think it will make it somewhere on my list.

No Country for Old Men and hopefully Hitman, I'll risk it by saying Hitman, and everybody can curse me once it comes out, and if it sux.

FYI guys, I work in a Movie Theater, so I'm really involved with movies, if the movie is playing everywhere, you can ask me anything about it, and I can give u my honest opinion.

This list makes me incredibly sad that I missed Gone Baby Gone, because everything else on here made my list... It was between that and Mafioso, and I had to go with the one I thought I might never again have the opportunity to see. Now my end-of-year list will be sad, though...

I LOVED it -- even more so than No Country for Old Men.

I just saw No Country for Old Men last night and thought it was fantastic. I have to say I was a tiny bit dissapointed in the end, but during the first hour or so I was thinking to myself that it was one of the best movies I had ever seen.

I also wanted to say that if Javier Bardem doesn't get nominated for Best Supporting Actor, then something is wrong. He is slowly becoming my favorite actor.

Ridley Scott magnificently directed the American Gangster.

Really? I saw this last week, and I thought it was just okay. As I said in another thread, it reminded my of a lot of different movies, but didn't seem to out-do any of them. I certainly didn't see anything magnificent about it.

I went to see No Country For Old Men on Sunday and it blew my mind. The novel is spectacular and even though I had a good idea of what was going to happen in the film, I was still left awestruck. The best movie of the year as far as I'm concerned.

My list would look something like this:
1. No Country For Old Men
2. Sunshine
3. 28 Weeks Later
4. Zodiac
5. Away From Her
6. Lars and the Real Girl
7. The Host
8. Grindhouse
9. The Bourne Ultimatum
10. Ratatouille
