Best Films of 2007: #15-11

#15: KNOCKED UP

Judd Apatow and crew take a potentially overdone concept and make a charming, hilarious film out of it. Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl make a terrific unlikely couple and are supported excellently by Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, and a whole host of other Apatow regulars.

#14: GONE BABY GONE

Casey Affleck stars as a private investigator trying to help a woman find her missing daughter. Affleck is a wonderful new talent while Ed Harris and Morgan Freeman show no signs of losing any of their skill. The film is incredibly suspenseful and powerful.

#13: EASTERN PROMISES

David Cronenberg directs a violent, fascinating portrait of the Russian mob in England. Viggo Mortensen gives a career-best performance as a silent, shadowy figure who develops a bond with an intrepid midwife played by Naomi Watts. Lots of blood – not for the faint of heart.

#12: THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD

Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck are perfectly paired as outlaw Jesse James and wannabe Robert Ford in this period western film. The cinematography and music make for an all-around mesmerizing experience.

#11: JUNO

A quirky teenager gets pregnant and decides to go through with the birth in this sharp, smart comedy with an undeniably brilliant script. Ellen Page is great as the title character, and a wonderful cast helps make a fantastic comedy.
