Going through 2007’s list of films, it looked pretty good. However, I note that some stinkers still managed to land themselves on the IMDB’s Bottom 100 list:

That rating is out of 10. But not bad, considering 2006 had 12. That’s the bad news. Here’s the good news, new entries into the Top 250:

Pretty good! Most of these are in the running for my personal top 10 list. I still need to see Sweeney Todd, Taare Zameen Par (an Indian film that I did not know existed until just now), Juno (which I’m super stoked to see), and Atonement. So no spoilers, please!

2006 hasn’t been a great year for movies. About halfway through I was asked about some standouts, and could only name a couple. And I’m having some trouble putting together a solid top 10. But moreover, there have been some horrible movies put out this year, as judged by the fine folks at the IMDb. In fact, in their Bottom 100, no less than 11 films are from 2006, and they compose half of the bottom 10! I haven’t seen any of these, but I’m still glad to see Turistas and Little Man made the list.

Here they are, from worst to worse (yes, they technically get “better” as you continue):

1. Crossover
2. Araf
6. Van Wilder 2: The Rise of Taj
8. Unaccompanied Minors
10. Zoom
16. Phat Girlz
18. Material Girls
48. Doogal
51. Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector
66. Turistas
84. Little Man
