the decision for number one was a difficult one to make, but i think i have to be honest with myself and admit that Eastern Promises was in fact better than No Country.

even though 2007 has come and gone, i imagine that this list will go through several mutations before i'm done -- i still have quite a few of the year's films left to see.
