If there's one thing the American Film Institute loves, it's a list -- and with the end of 2007 rapidly approaching, you know what that means: It's time to run down the AFI's favorite films and TV shows of the last year. Back to Article

on Dec 17 2007 05:42 AM Wait, doesn't AFI normally just do American Films? What's The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, a French film, doing there? Tell me if I'm wrong about AFI normally just doing American films, because I was under that impression. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 17 2007 06:41 AM "Ugly Betty" aside, pretty good list. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 17 2007 07:34 AM Just bought my parents the Dexter DVD for Christmas but don't know if they'll like it. They loved Six Feet Under and I did see one episode a week ago, excellent show. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 17 2007 09:59 AM props for including 'ratatouille' on the list. it's getting way less love than it should as one of THE best reviewed films of the year. i also like the inclusion of 'knocked up,' just for kicks. but tell me you love me? show is whack. these voters must have been the same kind of sexually frustrated bores portrayed on the show. sidenote: dexter finale last night was crazy!

on Dec 17 2007 11:08 AM I'm glad to see Before the Devil Knows Your Dead getting some love. One of my favorite movies and for being like 80 something Sydney Lumet did a great job directing. (Reply to this) |

on Dec 17 2007 01:08 PM Great I love Dexter and Pushing Daisies, hope they both come back again soon. No Country for Old Men was great, I have to go see Before the devil soon. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 17 2007 05:38 PM What's with all this ADD on behalf of all the critics???? Where the **** is Zodiac on any of these damned lists. It was better than half the movies on there. (Reply to this) |
on Dec 17 2007 07:24 PM In reply to this comment (#1367235) THE DIVING BELL AND THE BUTTERFLY is both an American film and French film. I think it has to do with financial backing. I'm very happy that RATATOUILLE is on the list. Its the best film I've seen all year. (I'm yet to see JUNO and the other critically acclaimed movies.) Its too bad its not getting enough love lately.

on Feb 06 2008 01:55 PM In reply to this comment (#1367235) French language etc., but American produced. For this reason it couldn't get an oscar nom. for Foreign Language Film. Tan pis. (Reply to this) |

on Feb 06 2008 01:56 PM In reply to this comment (#1367235) I'm not quite sure I understand the lack of props being given -- by everbody -- to The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Did people just not see it? (Reply to this) |
on Mar 07 2008 11:44 AM Ratatouille? Seriously? i mean, it was a fun animated family film, but you guys are acting like its a classic. and what's up with before the devil...? i dont know anyone who has seen it yet. if it was such a great film, why was it just a limited release? Just finished the 1st season of Dexter. gotta admit, it's a pretty entertaining show. (Reply to this) |
