#50 - Reno 911: Miami - It's really nothing more than a 90 minute version of the show with nudity and swearing. So, yeah, it's pretty damn good.
#49 - Breach - A very underrated film that sadly sailed under the radar, this one has a great story and great performances by Ryan Phillippe and the always-brilliant Chris Cooper.
#48 - The Darjeeling Limited - This movie is lowly ranked because of the quality of films released in 2007, not as a judgment of the film itself. Darjeeling is better than The Life Aquatic, but it's nowhere in the same league as The Royal Tenenbaums.
#47 - Dan In Real Life - A smart and subtly funny movie that would have made a great TV pilot, but is instead a solid movie. Steve Carrell is great as always, but Dane Cook is surprisingly good as well.
#46 - Rescue Dawn - An intense prisoner of war movie with great performances from all of the leads.
#45 - Smokin' Aces - This movie is pure fluff, style over substance, but like snorting a pixie stick the rush that it gives you while it's immediately in your system is worth it.
#44 - Sunshine - It is so close to being a classic science fiction film, but unfortunately it fails to stick the landing as the ending is a complete mess.
#43 - Atonement - Yeah, it's good, but it's not Academy Award nominee good. I've seen many Brit-porn Oscar baiting films over the years and this one is more in the middle along those lines, still many voters took the bait, so it got the nod.
#42 - The Lookout - Joseph Gordon-Levitt turns in yet another brilliant film as he's transitioning nicely from tv kid star to indie movie superstar.
#41 - Spider-Man 3 - A light year behind either of the first two movies, Spider-Man 3 tries to jam too much story into one movie and misses out on important things like story and character development.
