Best Films of 2007: #20-16

#20: WAITRESS

The late Adrienne Shelly directs this amusing and entertaining dramedy about a dissatisfied piemaker longing for happiness in her life. Keri Russell leads an all-around wonderful cast, including Shelly herself.

#19: I’M NOT THERE

Six portraits of different periods in Bob Dylan’s life make for one fascinating film. With the exception of Richard Gere’s outlaw Dylan, the cast is amazing, especially Marcus Carl Franklin and Cate Blanchett.

#18: NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN

The Coen Brothers’ latest film is a dark and violent tale with one hell of a bad guy in Javier Bardem. The suspense is gripping and the cast does a fine job.

#17: ATONEMENT

Two beautiful young people find that the overactive imagination of one girl prohibits them from spending their lives together in love. A talented cast is supplanted by gorgeous scenery and fantastic music.

#16: SUPERBAD

Young stars Jonah Hill and Michael Cera try to live it up in high school. The dialogue is lewd and ceaselessly hilarious. Christopher Mintz-Plasse makes his unforgettable debut as the superbly uncool McLovin.
