#1- No Country for Old Men
( After 5 times watching this film I realized this may be the Coen Bros best film. I love so many scenes in this film and the rewatchablity is so strong, more so than their other films I believe)
#2- Hot Fuzz
(I have watched this movie so many times i cant keep count. I am in love with Simon Pegg and Edger Wright. After watching their TV show Spaced and this film i cannot wait to see what they will do next. I have watched the HD DVD and all 18 hours of special features and still wanted more.)
#3- The Simpsons Movie / Futurama: Bender's Big Score
(Once again i have watched both films a bunch of times and they seem to get better and better after each viewing. I kinda like Bender's Big score a bit better than the Simpsons, but i have waited many years for the movie and was extremely satisfied.)
#4- 3:10 To Yuma
(God one of the best westerns this year and maybe ever. I love Bloody westerns and it has two of my favorite actors in it so whats not to love)
#5- There Will Be Blood
(This is a movie i cannot wait to watch another 10 times. PTA is becoming such a interesting director and i await his next film. The dude is only 37 and in my opioin has made two or three or even four masterpieces already)
#6- Eastern Promises
(Silly me i left tis off my initial list of Top ten. I forgot about this film last night. I watched this twice and enjoyed David Cronenberg's gangster film. Viggo fight in the bathroom is totally amazing)
#7- Black Snake Moan
(I love this film, it has some great moments in it. It one of the movies you cannot believe got made, but it did. For the directors second effort after the great Hustle and Flow i expect great thing from him in the years to come.)
#8- Rescue Dawn
(Werner Herzog's remake of his own film with one of the great actors Christian Bale. Love the documentary and this movie is a great companion piece to his earlier film. I think you need to watch both films to appreciate this movie , but overall i'm glad Herzog remade this film again)
#9-Ratatouille
(Good this movie gets better every time you watch it. It is easily the best animated effort this year. God bless Pikar for having the balls to make this film. Pikar i hope will allow Brad Bird to do another film very soon)
#10-Zodiac
(I really liked this film. Though not as good as Fincher's other films I still think it is a worthy addition to his "Thriller films." I cannot wait to get the director cut HD-DVD with all the special features)
#11-Surf's Up
#12- Once
#13-Grindhouse
#14- Beowulf
#15- Superbad
#16- Sunshine
#17- Severence
#18- Before the Devil Knows Your Dead
#19-Harry Potter and thew Order of the Phoenix
#20-300
(There is still a few movies i need to watch so the list i'm sure will be updated a bit.)

I cannot do a top 10. I can do a top 5 though. Mind you, there's quite a few films I want to see that I haven't yet (namely, The Darjeeling Limited, No Country for Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Sweeney Todd, and Zodiac.) But as of right now, my top 5 is:
1. Hot Fuzz
2. American Gangster
3. Grindhouse
4. Knocked Up/Juno
5. 300
how does surfs up make it over grindhouse
That's 21 films, by my count. A respectable list. Probably a couple I'd replace there, but nothing bad. I'm still waiting to see a couple 2007 releases, but I'm pretty sure Bourne Ultimatum, Away from Her, Into the Wild, Michael Clayton, and (you won't have seen this) Vitus will be in there.
