I'll always remember 2007 for superbad.I was in my 1st year of High-school, a very agitated curly fat guy that tried to blend in. When I saw superbad, I realised how funny I actually was and I stopped being so serious about this High-school dramas 😂
I worked in There Will Be Blood and was suppose to hop onto No Country but filming was delayed for TWBB. That would have been crazy to work on 2 of the greatest films made. But yes, TWBB did impact No Country in many ways.
I was a propmaker in Hollywood(IATSE Local 44) for over a decade in the 90s and early 2000s. I worked on over 50 feature films. Not one of them would I call great. Only a few would I consider good films. TWBB is a masterpiece. Consider yourself lucky.
This was so great! I was going to tthe movies 2 to 3 times a week around 2007. I remember getting hit by this feeling you are describing around 2015.I suddenly thought "wow, remember 2007/08? that was crazy" i was 15 in 2007. I was just getting obsessed with cinema, i thought it was normal. Turns out it wasnt. That year changed my life. This video reminded me of that. Thank you!
I had a similar feeling walking out of the theater after watching Avengers: Endgame. For the last decade, from age 10 to 21, I knew there would be at least one new Marvel movie each summer that I could look forward to. Little did I know that each movie was a stepping stone to telling a much larger story in an experience never seen before in movies. Watching the final entry in that story and coming to the realization that for all intents and purposes, we had reached the zenith of that story, I felt my childhood end in a very tangible way. It wasn't a negative feeling, but rather a bittersweet end to something that had come to be a regular part of my life. I wish Marvel would just stop making more movies, because they will never recapture that experience.
One of my favourite films of the decade is the vastly underrated The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. Visually stunning ,mixed with superb cinematography a stellar cast and smart and subdued performances with a sharp story based around representation, fanfare,reputation and how one views them selves and friends alike. Arguably the best western since unforgiven.
Best western for me is The Searchers. Recently re-watched Unforgiven and it's good, but certainly not The Searchers. True Grit (2010) is another classic, and The Homesman was super interesting.
That film has such a beautiful, surreal, and haunting atmosphere, thanks to the man, the myth, the legend himself Roger Deakins. AND he worked on No Country. What a great year for neo-Westerns shot by The Deak.
I agree 2007 was a peak year, but I don’t think it was the last “great year”. 2019 alone came with its own streak of phenomenal films: Parasite, The Irishman, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, The Lighthouse, Uncut Gems, Midsommar, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, etc. Next year is shaping to be an interesting one too….
1994 is without a doubt my favorite year for historically great movies! Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Pulp Fiction, Little Rascals, Apollo 13, Dumb and Dumber, The Mask, Ace Ventura (Wow Jim Carrey with 3 greats!) Leon, Interview with a Vampire, The Lion King, Legends Of The Fall, Natural Born Killers, and some less critically acclaimed, but still loved films like Little Giants, Speed, True Lies, Richie Rich, Clerks. It’s just unbelievable. If rewatchability was a word it would encapsulate almost every movie of 1994.
Imagine being a movie enthusiast in 94'!! You'd be living and breathing a dream almost every other week throughout the year. There's no argument 1994 is the best year for movies...ever!!
2019 was a great year. Parasite, The Lighthouse, Uncut Gems, 1917, Knives Out, The Irishman, Marriage Story, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Us, Waves, Climax, The Nightingale.
It was a great year for me too! Finally realized I could do anything that I set my mind too, lost my fear, matured as a man, dated the hottest girl from my childhood for most the year, re-connected with some amazing old friends I hadn't seen since school, and in the December I met the mother of my (soon to be) kids. The movies were good also!

Thank you for slapping me across the face and reminding how lucky I was to have seen all of these films in 2007 in an almost completely empty(all day and night) and also brand new theatre, at extreme discount pricing(student).
I was recently speaking to a family member about this. Mid 2006 - end of 2007 was such a pivotal period for film, and at the time I happened to be a young adolescent (14, 15) looking to expand my movie horizons, so in that regard my prayers were answered 100% and then some. I will never forget experiencing this explosion of creativity. There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, The Assassination of Jesse James, The Prestige, The Departed, Hot Fuzz, Pan's Labyrinth...the list just goes on and on.
This year is very special to me. I would have been 12 and gone through life watching movies my Dad like and developed a taste. And I really felt that this year had an impact on me. Great movies being released so often at my most influential years. Incredible
@@ericallen1418 Toy Story 2 and 3, Monster inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, Wall-E, Inside Out, Soul, Coco…. I think it’s in top 5, but I understand who thinks it’s not
With Pixar, you could literally argue for years about what belongs on the top 5. They are absolute masters, Disney had the option to either buy them or be embarassed by them year on year. Toy Story 2 and 3, A Good Dinosaur, Wall-E, not just top Pixar movies, but up there with Secrets of Nimh and Beauty & The Beast as the best animated moveis of all time.
100% agreed, a truly fantastic year. My honorable mention would be 2014 Nightcrawler, GOTG, Winter soldier, Ex Machina, Interstellar, Edge of tomorrow, days of future past, Equaliser, Gone Girl, Calvary etc. It was a special one.
I was 16 when There will be blood came out and nobody wanted to see it with me except for my new step mother. It was one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life and a bonding event for the two of us. She has since succumbed to cancer.
After 15 years, I still think that my rock solid #1 - a miracle of a film - is "Hairspray". Deep and entertaining and rewatchable, so simple yet so multilayered and in what seems effortless but hides so much work and planification...
2007 also gave us Walk Hard, the movie that critics and audiences veer towards as a point of comparison for nearly every music biopic that comes out, most recently Elvis
I think the changes happening now will lead to new innovations and opportunities for creativity. I also think we as individuals need to analyze our relationship to films and what matters to us.
We're definitely ripe for a new era of indie filmmaking that breaks through in a big way, for example. Whether it'll take people to theaters or not, it's hard to say. You're right about people needing to reevaluate their relationship to cinema.
I turned 17 in 2007 and got really into movies the year prior. So I was very much sucked in to every movie that released that year and it felt like that was just how it was going to be every year. I was so spoiled and didn’t know it
2007 was one of the best years for cinema, completely agree with the video. Some notable omissions: Into the Wild, Ratatouille, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, 300, 28 Weeks Later, 1408, 3:10 to Yuma, Across the Universe, Sweeney Todd, Charlie Wilson's War, 30 Days of Night, and honestly a few more I'm sure I'm forgetting
Into the Wild, Ratatouille, 3:10 to Yuma, Across the Universe, Sweeney Todd, Charlie Wilson's War all appear in the video. Walk Hard was perhaps our biggest blunder in terms of omissions.
Amazing video, I think you should do a video for each of the other years. Of course they will be in a different light given how they aren't at the end of an era.
I really appreciate you listing movies from other great years when people comment about them. been scrolling through comments looking for a list of movies mentioned in the video but instead found more than I expected
Disturbia, transformers, pirates 3, no country, surfs up, Spider-Man 3, 30 days of night, 3:10 to Yuma, all movies off the top of my head and those are just the ones I saw in theaters, countless more that year I caught later on dvd, Superbad, knocked up, and American gangster for instance- can count on one hand how many new movies this year I’ve seen I’d mention in the same breath as them tbh
Good video, and good case for your choice. I like how it was presented as the end of an era. But... Nothing beats 1927, in my opinion Battleship Potemkin, End of St Petersburg, Room and Sofa, Woman of Ryazan, The Forty-First, Metropolis, Sunrise, 7th Heaven, Napoleon, The Car and the Canary, The Lodger, The Love of Jeanne Nay. Underworld... also the technical achievements of Wings and The Jazz Singer.
I've been saying this for years: 2007 is one of the greatest years not just for film, but for ART in general. - For videogames, you've got Halo 3, BioShock, Modern Warfare, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, Portal, Crysis, TF2, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, God of War 2, and Metroid Prime 3 - For music, you've got Radiohead's "In Rainbows", Kanye's "Graduation", LCD's "Sound of Silver", Arctic Monkeys' "Favorite Worst Nightmare", Arcade Fire's "Neon Bible", Spoon's "Ga (5x)", M.I.A's "Kala", The National's "Boxer", AnCo's "Strawberry Jam", Burial's "Untrue", Panda Bear's "Person Pitch", and Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago" - For books, you've got HP and the Deathly Hallows, City of Bones, Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Thirteen Reasons Why, Call Me By Your Name, Still Alice, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret WHAT. A. YEAR.
Completely agree. I've forgotten how many great movies came out in 2007 and once MCU started churning out movies it seemed like the general quality of movies slowly declined. And a lot of great movies since have been swept under the rug, so to speak.
Also L'Avventura, Peeping Tom, Le Trou, The Magnificent Seven, Purple Noon, The Bad Sleep Well, Letter Never Sent, La Verite, The Fugitive Kind, Wild River, Inherit the Wind, Late Autumn... it was particularly strong for non-american cinema.
Yes, I forgot about 1960. Movies I've watched from 1960 are À Bout de Souffle (the most iconic), La Dolce Vita, L'Avventura, Peeping Tom, The Apartment,Shoot the Piano player, The Virgin Spring, Late Autumn and Meghe Dhaka Tara... Still think 1955 was the best.
1975 Jaws, Barry Lyndon , Three Days, Dog Day Afternoon, Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1976 Taxi Driver, Network, Rocky, All the Presidents Men, Marathon Man, Nashville Agree with Zodiac though. My favorite movie of the 2000s.
The Man from Earth deserved more than a brief clip. That flick floored me. It was no budget sci-fi that was significantly better than most $200 million dollar spectacles; solely on account of great storytelling and sure-footed acting by its lead.
Absolutely, it remains one of the great 'no'budget' sci films next to something like Coherence and Primer. It deserves its own video. It was hard on this one considering the amount of films we had to talk about and mention.
2008 offers :- Dark knight, Iron man, Slumdog millionaire, Hancock, Wall e Kung fu panda, Twilight, Quantum of solace, Tropic thunder, Bolt, Yes man and many more
Great video and thank you for the work put into it. Great question to explore regarding the "death" of cinema (at least in regards to Hollywood). To me, it seems like the cinema landscape definitely changed after iron man and the idea of "franchise films" took over every major studio following the success of Harry Potter and the Matrix trilogy. Marvel just destroyed the landscape and we are feeling the effects currently. I also think it's interesting to note that Breaking Bad began this year cahnging the landscape of tv storytelling with increased budget and A list actors following in the footsteps of the Sopranos and the Wire. As well Game of Thrones started a few years later further cementing the draw of prestige tv. I think the points above created a perfect storm to in effect destroy the mid budget adult drama. Now studios need a 2x ROI or they won't make the film. Studios also need a bankable franchise when before all they needed was a bankable name a la George Clooney or Brad Pitt. As many have said including Anthony Mackie and Quentin Tarantino that the movie star is dead and franchises rule. No one cares about TOm Holland, they care about Spiderman. No one cares about Chris Hemsworth, they love Thor. Finally, the pandemic and depressed economy following the shutdowns has made it harder to make money off films from just the theatre experience which encourages studios to release on netflix which implies a reduced budget. In all the entire industry seems in a slump. The only movies being made are boring, predictable meh or extreme indie darlings that only get buzz because they appearred at Cannes or Sundance. I don't see it changing unless there is a new hollywood and profit model. Studios make too much money pumping out shitty products with name recognition. Are we asking too much as cinephiles or are the studios actually making shittier films? I firmly believe it's the latter as this recent trend in filmmaking has only been about for 15 years.
I’ve been thinking that 2007 was the best year for movies since 2007. Finally. Someone else recognized this and put it to RUclips. It produced not only the best film of the current millennium, There Will be Blood, but a host of amazing entries. The Assassination of Jesse James, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, Atonement, In the Valley of Elah, Zodiac, the list just goes on. I doubt we’ll ever have another.
1st time to this channel and you earned a new subscriber. I love the video, the films you chose to highlight, and your insights on those films. It was great to see some of my favorite phenomenal films that are more rarely talked about show up in this vid.
I am so glad you mentioned Michael Clayton. A movie that on the surface level seems to have a simple premise, but draws you in with its complex characters and George Clooney's outstanding performance. The final scene in the taxi cab is perfect. A very fitting film for the impending economic collapse.
Bioshock, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Halo 3, The Orange Box (Portal, Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2: Episode 2), Mass Effect, God of War 2, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, etc, etc. What a banger of a year for gaming.
This is a compelling argument. Great video! Definitely agree about the chase in we own the night, wow what a scene! So many of my favorites come from 2007 and never realized it, I was 15 years old so I grew up watching a lot of these!!
No way YT gave mi this video today. Literally yesterday I was thinking about 2007 as a greatest year of my life. This year I have got access to internet for the first time and I was free to explore music and movies, this was so influential on me. I think 2007 created my music and movie taste I have today.
I'd argue that just one year later, 2008 provides another slew of instant classics. Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Frost/Nixon, The Wrestler, Doubt, The Reader, Revolutionary Road. ESPECIALLY Doubt ... Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman arguing for 30 minutes was cinematic perfection.
There was also The Dark Knight, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, In Bruges, Burn After Reading, Gran Torino, The Hurt Locker, Bronson, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Ip Man, Still Walking, Milk, Love Exposure, Speed Racer, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Rachel Getting Married, Two Lovers, Happy Go Lucky, Body of Lies, Chaser, and The Wave to mention a few more. A great year indeed.
Great work--your section on Zodiac especially. Just rewatched it recently and it rang true--anti "hollywood" storytelling, as real as it can be. What a stacked year of movies.
Totally agree. Honestly, 2022 shaped up to be a really strong year. 2019 was decent too. I'm hopeful that movie trends will come back around especially with the phase 4 of Marvel being largely television as well as the boredom/criticism on display. Between Nope, Top Gun, Everything/Everywhere/All at Once, The Northman, and even the Whale's success, I feel like there is still some life left in the theater. Not to mention horror movies like Pearl, Smile, and The Menu. I went to the theater 7 times this year which is more than I did in any year of the 2010s.
In terms of horror, Barbarian and especially The Black Phone were big hits as well. Horror seems to be the genre that is most immune to changing viewing habits. We'd argue that 2019 was the other great year of this new century.
@@Mouthfilm Idk how I forgot the mention Barbarian! That was my favorite horror of the year. Black Phone was good too despite being slightly more predictable by comparison.
For me 1999 is a winner. It was a year in which I became truly fascinated with cinema so I may be little biased, but if you look at all the movies, big and small that Hollywood and other countries released that year your mind will be blown away. And there were movies that made a huge impact on cinema and popculture that year. From Magnolia which is a masterpiece, to Matrix. From American Beauty to Fight Club. From Green Mile to Sixth Sense. From Election to All about my mother. The Insider, Eyes wide shut, hugely underrated Arlington Road, Being John Malkovich, the last masterpiece in hand drawn animaton - Iron Giant, Dogma, Toy Story 2. I even liked Notting Hill. I can do it all day. It's almost too much for one year. 2007 was close with the films you mentioned and The Diving Bell and Butterfly I would add to this list, but it didn't have even half as much really fantastic movies as 1999 had. 2008, 2011 and 2012 were sooo great too. After that cinema went downhill pretty much and as for now never returned to that greateness. You can see few great movies here or there once a few months but nothing at 1999 and 2007 level.
Exactly! 2019 was outstanding. There were so many great films of all types and calibers. And unlike so many other years, the year's best weren't just well made, but also fun. 1994 and 2019 have to be my favorite ones. Overall I love the 1990s, plus the first three years of the 2000s.
No Country for Old Men and The Man from Earth are both two of my favourite movies, and both were made in 2007, so yeah, I definitely agree on this one!
They were inside the industry. Shit, the WERE the industry. If you go to work in the same place every day, you tend to know whats happening around you. And they saw what was coming. Same thing happened with the Video game industry at around the exact same time.
Every year during the 90's and early 2000 have some of the best movies all year round. After a great 1999, 2000 was one of the best as well. Gladiator, Cast Away, Traffic, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Memento, Almost Famous, Requiem for a Dream, American Psycho, Erin Brockovich, The Patriot, Snatch, Boiler Room, O Brother Where Art Thou, Billy Elliot, Remember the Titans, The Replacements, Dancer in the Dark, Amores Perros, Chocolat, Malèna, Scary Movie, Final Destination, Me, Myself & Irene, Road Trip, Battle Royale, Nine Queens...and more
Wrong. 1977 was a lot better: Star Wars, Sorcerer, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Slap Shot, Smokey and the Bandit The Duellists A Bridge Too Far Saturday Night Fever Eraserhead Oh, God! The Hills Have Eyes The Gauntlet Cross of Iron Looking for Mr. Goodbar The Message Der Amerikanische Freund The Rescuers High Anxiety Annie Hall Pete's Dragon The Late Show Killer of Sheep The Last Wave Suspiria Stroszek Pumping Iron The Spy Who Loved Me
It might be because i was 4 years old in 2007 but for me the best year of cinema is 2019 i remember it was so hard to do a top 10 at the end of the year. Another one was 2017, the selection for thr 90th ceremony of oscars was insane
2007 has my favorite movie of the century. The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford. Also the rise of Apatow. And the last watchable Die Hard.
I agree. It was one of rare times where the Sundance films, Summer Blockbusters, and Oscar-bait movies all lined up. Plus, the last part makes out 007.
I watched this and simply didn't realize how good this year was. Magnificent video. I do have 2 requests: 1) Can I get a list of all the movies from this video, both the ones specifically mentioned AND the ones that you pulled a few second clips? I wanna make a list! 2) Make follow up videos for those other years you mentioned!
Full list of movies mentioned in the video here: letterboxd.com/mouthfilm/list/the-greatest-year-in-movie-history/ We certainly want to dive into other movie years! Stay tuned.
I remember working at the cinema that year and thinking it was an amazing year for cinema! No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Into the Wild, Persepolis... Every movie I saw was amazing!
What a great video, I read the list of movies released that year after watching it and what a fckin year. Your video almost made me cry tbh. Such a great post! Writing, editing, everything. Thanks a lot for this one, looking forward to the next one and will be catching up the previous
1989 had Batman, Back to the Future 2, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, James Bond, Ghostbusters 2, Roadhouse, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Friday the 13th, Halloween 5, Nightmare on Elm Street 5, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Christmas Vacation, Lethal Weapon 2, Major League, The Karate Kid, Tango & Cash, No Holds Barred, Weekend at Bernies & multiple Jean Claude Van Damme movies. I would've lived in the theater in 1989.
Even though I generally don't like post 2000 movies, this really was an exceptionally good year. My favourites, beside Assassination of Jessie James, would be Shoot'em up, Vacancy, Trick or treat, Walk hard and 30 days of night.
I was 8 years old in 2007 and I remember watching most of these movies and falling in love with no country for old men & there will be blood I could go on but all these movies shown have a special place in my heart and I haven't seen a year in cinema like it since I miss 2007 everything seemed so perfect at the time and halo 3 had been released in September of that year as well for me its just that peak of media that I'll always cherish.
Thanks for mentioning the Bourne Ultimatum, the triology might have been an underdog of those times while looking at other masterstrokes, but what a triology! I mean if released now, that would be the right transition to get back to those days of movie making.

Joker? 1917?
Uncut gems was whack in my opinion , had to turn the tv up to hear what they’re saying
Very true. I don’t think it was on the exact same level but close. I love 2019 as a movie year
2019 was even better than 2007. The only years better than 2019 would be some from the 90s
2019 might be mine: parasite, lighthouse, uncut gems, 1917, marriage story, under the silver lake and more.
uncut gems was terrible, sorry to say it
Joker as well :) (whether you like the movie or not, it had a gigantic social impact off a pretty small budget)
Uncut gemmmmms 🤣
A lot of people loved, including myself, hehe . Rating movies are really subjective so u dont need to be sorry : )

The lake scene in Zodiac was so disturbing and kind of out of nowhere which is a weird thing to say about a moving focused on a serial killer

Mid 2006 - end of 2007 was such a pivotal period for film, and at the time I happened to be a young adolescent (14, 15) looking to expand my movie horizons, so in that regard my prayers were answered 100% and then some. I will never forget experiencing this explosion of creativity. There Will Be Blood, No Country For Old Men, Before The Devil Knows You're Dead, The Assassination of Jesse James, The Prestige, The Departed, Hot Fuzz, Pan's Labyrinth...the list just goes on and on.
Lovedddd the prestige

2007 is, at the very least, the best year of its decade! So grateful to have experienced it when I did! 🙌
This year is very special to me. I would have been 12 and gone through life watching movies my Dad like and developed a taste. And I really felt that this year had an impact on me. Great movies being released so often at my most influential years. Incredible
Ratatouille was relesead in 2007 and it was arguably in the top 5 of Pixar
Arguably? its for sure top 5, arguably number 1!
@@ericallen1418 Toy Story 2 and 3, Monster inc, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, Wall-E, Inside Out, Soul, Coco…. I think it’s in top 5, but I understand who thinks it’s not

With Pixar, you could literally argue for years about what belongs on the top 5. They are absolute masters, Disney had the option to either buy them or be embarassed by them year on year. Toy Story 2 and 3, A Good Dinosaur, Wall-E, not just top Pixar movies, but up there with Secrets of Nimh and Beauty & The Beast as the best animated moveis of all time.
100% agreed, a truly fantastic year. My honorable mention would be 2014
Nightcrawler, GOTG, Winter soldier, Ex Machina, Interstellar, Edge of tomorrow, days of future past, Equaliser, Gone Girl, Calvary etc. It was a special one.
Winter soldier and days of future past are mid
@@user-hx4xw4dt7o I disagree but your entitled to your own opinion.
Great great great video brother. Its a true shame you don't have more views and followers. Can't wait to see what you make next.
thank you so much Axel!
I was 16 when There will be blood came out and nobody wanted to see it with me except for my new step mother. It was one of the greatest cinematic experiences of my life and a bonding event for the two of us. She has since succumbed to cancer.
I'm sorry for your loss.
After 15 years, I still think that my rock solid #1 - a miracle of a film - is "Hairspray". Deep and entertaining and rewatchable, so simple yet so multilayered and in what seems effortless but hides so much work and planification...
2022 deserves a shoutout. And even last year despite dramas going on behind the scenes had a lot of truly great films
2007 also gave us Walk Hard, the movie that critics and audiences veer towards as a point of comparison for nearly every music biopic that comes out, most recently Elvis
Walk hard is an absolute classic and masterclass of parodying biopics. Its so quotable, has an amazing soundtrack and is very rewatchable.
Before the devil knows your dead is such an underrated movie. Ethan Hawke and Phillip Seymour Hoffman we're brilliant.
You just snuck in there with the last allowable 'underrated' comment of the year matey
It might be the darkest film I've ever watched
How could Kubrick’s final piece not make your mentions for ‘99. Eyes Wide Shut might be one of the best movies to come out that year.
We agree, Eyes Wide Shut is a masterpiece and if we were to make a video about '99 it'd definitely take up a lot of real estate.
1971 was a pretty incredible year for films - A Clockwork Orange, The Devils, Wake In Fright, Straw Dogs, Harold And Maude, Get Carter, etcetera.
I think the changes happening now will lead to new innovations and opportunities for creativity. I also think we as individuals need to analyze our relationship to films and what matters to us.
We're definitely ripe for a new era of indie filmmaking that breaks through in a big way, for example. Whether it'll take people to theaters or not, it's hard to say. You're right about people needing to reevaluate their relationship to cinema.
Here here my friend!, ‘twas a hell of a year for cinema🙏🏻. Forever thankful for the ability to rewind time.
I turned 17 in 2007 and got really into movies the year prior. So I was very much sucked in to every movie that released that year and it felt like that was just how it was going to be every year. I was so spoiled and didn’t know it
2007 was one of the best years for cinema, completely agree with the video. Some notable omissions:
Into the Wild, Ratatouille, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, 300, 28 Weeks Later, 1408, 3:10 to Yuma, Across the Universe, Sweeney Todd, Charlie Wilson's War, 30 Days of Night, and honestly a few more I'm sure I'm forgetting
Into the Wild, Ratatouille, 3:10 to Yuma, Across the Universe, Sweeney Todd, Charlie Wilson's War all appear in the video. Walk Hard was perhaps our biggest blunder in terms of omissions.
Great video! So glad you mentioned Jesse James and Bourne Ultimatum two of my favorites of all time
This perfectly explains something ive been trying to express about how many great movies are from 07! thank you!
Amazing video, I think you should do a video for each of the other years. Of course they will be in a different light given how they aren't at the end of an era.
I really appreciate you listing movies from other great years when people comment about them. been scrolling through comments looking for a list of movies mentioned in the video but instead found more than I expected
Disturbia, transformers, pirates 3, no country, surfs up, Spider-Man 3, 30 days of night, 3:10 to Yuma, all movies off the top of my head and those are just the ones I saw in theaters, countless more that year I caught later on dvd, Superbad, knocked up, and American gangster for instance- can count on one hand how many new movies this year I’ve seen I’d mention in the same breath as them tbh
Great reminder of how stacked of a year 2007 was, thanks!
Good video, and good case for your choice. I like how it was presented as the end of an era.
But...
Nothing beats 1927, in my opinion
Battleship Potemkin, End of St Petersburg, Room and Sofa, Woman of Ryazan, The Forty-First, Metropolis, Sunrise, 7th Heaven, Napoleon, The Car and the Canary, The Lodger, The Love of Jeanne Nay. Underworld... also the technical achievements of Wings and The Jazz Singer.
We love this take! There's a case to be made that it's at least the most influential in terms of filmmaking and what came after.
Thanks for remember us, all this wonderful films and kindled the love for Cinema.
Very Good Video! Shocking that you have so little subscribers. Do you have the full list of movies you mentioned in this video?

I will say, 2019 was a great year for film and probably the best of our previous decade.
2016 had some fire films as well.

@@therealpotpol4027 10 through 14
What a recollection and essay. Bravo!
I've been saying this for years: 2007 is one of the greatest years not just for film, but for ART in general.
- For videogames, you've got Halo 3, BioShock, Modern Warfare, Mass Effect, Super Mario Galaxy, Portal, Crysis, TF2, Uncharted, Assassin's Creed, The Witcher, God of War 2, and Metroid Prime 3
- For music, you've got Radiohead's "In Rainbows", Kanye's "Graduation", LCD's "Sound of Silver", Arctic Monkeys' "Favorite Worst Nightmare", Arcade Fire's "Neon Bible", Spoon's "Ga (5x)", M.I.A's "Kala", The National's "Boxer", AnCo's "Strawberry Jam", Burial's "Untrue", Panda Bear's "Person Pitch", and Bon Iver's "For Emma, Forever Ago"
- For books, you've got HP and the Deathly Hallows, City of Bones, Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Thirteen Reasons Why, Call Me By Your Name, Still Alice, and The Invention of Hugo Cabret
WHAT. A. YEAR.
It’s weird how things work in cycles like that. ‘94 and ‘99 were killer years in music.
Completely agree. I've forgotten how many great movies came out in 2007 and once MCU started churning out movies it seemed like the general quality of movies slowly declined. And a lot of great movies since have been swept under the rug, so to speak.
for me 1960 is definetly one of the best years in cinema (La Dolce Vita, Psycho, Breathless, the apartment, Spartacus, Rocco and his brothers ecc...)
definitely*
Also L'Avventura, Peeping Tom, Le Trou, The Magnificent Seven, Purple Noon, The Bad Sleep Well, Letter Never Sent, La Verite, The Fugitive Kind, Wild River, Inherit the Wind, Late Autumn... it was particularly strong for non-american cinema.
1960 and 1974 are probably the two greatest years of cinema
@@Starkardur 1994
Yes, I forgot about 1960.
Movies I've watched from 1960 are
À Bout de Souffle (the most iconic), La Dolce Vita, L'Avventura, Peeping Tom, The Apartment,Shoot the Piano player, The Virgin Spring, Late Autumn and Meghe Dhaka Tara... Still think 1955 was the best.
1975
Jaws, Barry Lyndon , Three Days, Dog Day Afternoon, Monty Python and the Holy Grail
1976
Taxi Driver, Network, Rocky, All the Presidents Men, Marathon Man, Nashville
Agree with Zodiac though. My favorite movie of the 2000s.

@@brainbitsnbytes thanks so much Jacky! That's what we're working toward!
The Man from Earth deserved more than a brief clip. That flick floored me. It was no budget sci-fi that was significantly better than most $200 million dollar spectacles; solely on account of great storytelling and sure-footed acting by its lead.
Absolutely, it remains one of the great 'no'budget' sci films next to something like Coherence and Primer. It deserves its own video. It was hard on this one considering the amount of films we had to talk about and mention.
Lmao how can you ignore 1984.
Indiana Jones, ghost busters, nightmare on elm st, terminator, Amadeus, never ending story, the list goes on and on

Great video and thank you for the work put into it. Great question to explore regarding the "death" of cinema (at least in regards to Hollywood).
To me, it seems like the cinema landscape definitely changed after iron man and the idea of "franchise films" took over every major studio following the success of Harry Potter and the Matrix trilogy. Marvel just destroyed the landscape and we are feeling the effects currently. I also think it's interesting to note that Breaking Bad began this year cahnging the landscape of tv storytelling with increased budget and A list actors following in the footsteps of the Sopranos and the Wire. As well Game of Thrones started a few years later further cementing the draw of prestige tv.
I think the points above created a perfect storm to in effect destroy the mid budget adult drama. Now studios need a 2x ROI or they won't make the film. Studios also need a bankable franchise when before all they needed was a bankable name a la George Clooney or Brad Pitt. As many have said including Anthony Mackie and Quentin Tarantino that the movie star is dead and franchises rule. No one cares about TOm Holland, they care about Spiderman. No one cares about Chris Hemsworth, they love Thor.
Finally, the pandemic and depressed economy following the shutdowns has made it harder to make money off films from just the theatre experience which encourages studios to release on netflix which implies a reduced budget. In all the entire industry seems in a slump. The only movies being made are boring, predictable meh or extreme indie darlings that only get buzz because they appearred at Cannes or Sundance.
I don't see it changing unless there is a new hollywood and profit model. Studios make too much money pumping out shitty products with name recognition. Are we asking too much as cinephiles or are the studios actually making shittier films? I firmly believe it's the latter as this recent trend in filmmaking has only been about for 15 years.
I’ve been thinking that 2007 was the best year for movies since 2007. Finally. Someone else recognized this and put it to RUclips. It produced not only the best film of the current millennium, There Will be Blood, but a host of amazing entries. The Assassination of Jesse James, Michael Clayton, No Country for Old Men, Atonement, In the Valley of Elah, Zodiac, the list just goes on. I doubt we’ll ever have another.
1st time to this channel and you earned a new subscriber. I love the video, the films you chose to highlight, and your insights on those films. It was great to see some of my favorite phenomenal films that are more rarely talked about show up in this vid.
Thanks so much for the kind words and the sub Oz!
I am so glad you mentioned Michael Clayton. A movie that on the surface level seems to have a simple premise, but draws you in with its complex characters and George Clooney's outstanding performance. The final scene in the taxi cab is perfect. A very fitting film for the impending economic collapse.
It's classic Tony Gilroy character work!
2007 was seen as possibly one of the best years in gaming too
Bioshock, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Halo 3, The Orange Box (Portal, Team Fortress 2, Half Life 2: Episode 2), Mass Effect, God of War 2, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, Assassin's Creed, Super Mario Galaxy, etc, etc.
What a banger of a year for gaming.
Orange box, mario galaxy, and bioshock. That’s fuckin stacked. 2004 only year that comes close imo.

This is a compelling argument. Great video! Definitely agree about the chase in we own the night, wow what a scene! So many of my favorites come from 2007 and never realized it, I was 15 years old so I grew up watching a lot of these!!
1982 and 1985 were my top two years for film
Yes, notorious eighties, best movie decade by far ....
No way YT gave mi this video today. Literally yesterday I was thinking about 2007 as a greatest year of my life. This year I have got access to internet for the first time and I was free to explore music and movies, this was so influential on me. I think 2007 created my music and movie taste I have today.
I love this. I have so many movies to see, and a year that had OCFOM and LTBB, alone, would have made any year spectacular. Thanks!
Glad this got recommended, subscribed and looking forward to more.
I'd argue that just one year later, 2008 provides another slew of instant classics. Slumdog Millionaire, Milk, Frost/Nixon, The Wrestler, Doubt, The Reader, Revolutionary Road. ESPECIALLY Doubt ... Meryl Streep and Phillip Seymour Hoffman arguing for 30 minutes was cinematic perfection.
Two actors at the absolute top of their game, truly a treat to watch.
There was also The Dark Knight, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, In Bruges, Burn After Reading, Gran Torino, The Hurt Locker, Bronson, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Ip Man, Still Walking, Milk, Love Exposure, Speed Racer, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Rachel Getting Married, Two Lovers, Happy Go Lucky, Body of Lies, Chaser, and The Wave to mention a few more. A great year indeed.
Half of those films are mid. The Dark Knight was the best film that year and Vicky Cristina Barcelona the second

Great work--your section on Zodiac especially. Just rewatched it recently and it rang true--anti "hollywood" storytelling, as real as it can be. What a stacked year of movies.
Thanks for watching Eric! It really is a very special work of art.
Totally agree. Honestly, 2022 shaped up to be a really strong year. 2019 was decent too. I'm hopeful that movie trends will come back around especially with the phase 4 of Marvel being largely television as well as the boredom/criticism on display. Between Nope, Top Gun, Everything/Everywhere/All at Once, The Northman, and even the Whale's success, I feel like there is still some life left in the theater. Not to mention horror movies like Pearl, Smile, and The Menu. I went to the theater 7 times this year which is more than I did in any year of the 2010s.
In terms of horror, Barbarian and especially The Black Phone were big hits as well. Horror seems to be the genre that is most immune to changing viewing habits. We'd argue that 2019 was the other great year of this new century.
@@Mouthfilm Idk how I forgot the mention Barbarian! That was my favorite horror of the year. Black Phone was good too despite being slightly more predictable by comparison.
2014 was magnificent as well
For me 1999 is a winner. It was a year in which I became truly fascinated with cinema so I may be little biased, but if you look at all the movies, big and small that Hollywood and other countries released that year your mind will be blown away. And there were movies that made a huge impact on cinema and popculture that year. From Magnolia which is a masterpiece, to Matrix. From American Beauty to Fight Club. From Green Mile to Sixth Sense. From Election to All about my mother. The Insider, Eyes wide shut, hugely underrated Arlington Road, Being John Malkovich, the last masterpiece in hand drawn animaton - Iron Giant, Dogma, Toy Story 2. I even liked Notting Hill. I can do it all day. It's almost too much for one year. 2007 was close with the films you mentioned and The Diving Bell and Butterfly I would add to this list, but it didn't have even half as much really fantastic movies as 1999 had. 2008, 2011 and 2012 were sooo great too. After that cinema went downhill pretty much and as for now never returned to that greateness. You can see few great movies here or there once a few months but nothing at 1999 and 2007 level.
Sitting here going “Superbad came out that year”. Great video and a point I’ve always felt but couldn’t convey, you nailed it.
I feel like people are sleeping on 2019 we had some absolutely amazing films that year
Every movie from every year from 2010 sucked.
@@deacongowan117 Troll better.
Exactly! 2019 was outstanding. There were so many great films of all types and calibers. And unlike so many other years, the year's best weren't just well made, but also fun.
1994 and 2019 have to be my favorite ones. Overall I love the 1990s, plus the first three years of the 2000s.
Also 2019, that too was one heck of a year
2014 was a legendary year for tv and cinema
Whiplash
No Country for Old Men and The Man from Earth are both two of my favourite movies, and both were made in 2007, so yeah, I definitely agree on this one!
Holy crap ... It's as if they knew that the end of such movies was near😭
Yeah...well said.
They were inside the industry. Shit, the WERE the industry. If you go to work in the same place every day, you tend to know whats happening around you. And they saw what was coming. Same thing happened with the Video game industry at around the exact same time.
I was 20 years old and managing a regal cinemas this year…I saw all these movies. Good times
1999 was my jumping off point as a filmbuff but damn you made a great case 👏 👌
Every year during the 90's and early 2000 have some of the best movies all year round. After a great 1999, 2000 was one of the best as well.
Gladiator, Cast Away, Traffic, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Memento, Almost Famous, Requiem for a Dream, American Psycho, Erin Brockovich, The Patriot, Snatch, Boiler Room, O Brother Where Art Thou, Billy Elliot, Remember the Titans, The Replacements, Dancer in the Dark, Amores Perros, Chocolat, Malèna, Scary Movie, Final Destination, Me, Myself & Irene, Road Trip, Battle Royale, Nine Queens...and more

"Kaneda, what do you see?" Sunshine is one of the most underappreciated movies I know of.
2007 is definitely one of the greatest when it comes to movies.
and music and life in general too
Absolutely brilliant video mate
2007 has my favorite movie of the century.
The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford.
Also the rise of Apatow.
And the last watchable Die Hard.
I agree. It was one of rare times where the Sundance films, Summer Blockbusters, and Oscar-bait movies all lined up. Plus, the last part makes out 007.
How could you NOT mention Walk Hard after comedies and music biopics
Ooops, that one fell between the cracks. You're right, it's fantastic and it should've been mentioned.
I watched this and simply didn't realize how good this year was. Magnificent video. I do have 2 requests:

2) Make follow up videos for those other years you mentioned!

I came into this video thinking it has to be 1994. I still think its the best year for movies
That clip of Funny games… amazing ans also shudder. Cant believe all these were released the same year…
Greatest year in movie history: 1994
I've always loved 2007. Great analysis with Ironman in 2008. Things really did change after that.
I remember working at the cinema that year and thinking it was an amazing year for cinema! No Country For Old Men, There Will Be Blood, Into the Wild, Persepolis... Every movie I saw was amazing!
Persepolis is extremely underrated... Love it.
Yeah, 2007 is awesome but it’s got nothing on 1994 when we got: Pulp Fiction, The Shawshank Redemption, The Lion King, Forest Gump and more.
What a great video, I read the list of movies released that year after watching it and what a fckin year. Your video almost made me cry tbh. Such a great post! Writing, editing, everything. Thanks a lot for this one, looking forward to the next one and will be catching up the previous
Thank you, for watching and leaving such a kind comment!!
1989 had Batman, Back to the Future 2, Indiana Jones, Star Trek, James Bond, Ghostbusters 2, Roadhouse, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Friday the 13th, Halloween 5, Nightmare on Elm Street 5, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Christmas Vacation, Lethal Weapon 2, Major League, The Karate Kid, Tango & Cash, No Holds Barred, Weekend at Bernies & multiple Jean Claude Van Damme movies. I would've lived in the theater in 1989.
Great video. Upload more often/more consistently and I bet your channel will explode!
Even though I generally don't like post 2000 movies, this really was an exceptionally good year. My favourites, beside Assassination of Jessie James, would be Shoot'em up, Vacancy, Trick or treat, Walk hard and 30 days of night.
I was 8 years old in 2007 and I remember watching most of these movies and falling in love with no country for old men & there will be blood I could go on but all these movies shown have a special place in my heart and I haven't seen a year in cinema like it since I miss 2007 everything seemed so perfect at the time and halo 3 had been released in September of that year as well for me its just that peak of media that I'll always cherish.
Thanks for mentioning the Bourne Ultimatum, the triology might have been an underdog of those times while looking at other masterstrokes, but what a triology! I mean if released now, that would be the right transition to get back to those days of movie making.
