Nice lists, but no "I'm Not There" in the movies list?

Well it would probably have done better if anyone had seen it yet!! I voted for Murray Lerner's "The Other Side of The Mirror"

I think I'll keep an eye on that forum, seems interesting, and maybe I'll vote as well next year. I can wholeheartedly recommend "I'm Not There" though. I've watched it 3 times now and every time I discovered some new stuff. Especially the mirroring of scenes and actions throughout the whole film takes more than 1 viewing to appreciate.

That's a nice forum. I've heard about it but I always thought it was huge. But it's not that intimidating. Still too big for my tastes...I like these small communities where we all feel like we know each other, but I'll at least be lurking over there and maybe posting once in awhile! I like the different lists too. We should incorporate some of those lists (like album opener and closer) into our best of 2007. It would make the results a lot more interesting to read especially if we do some pop culture stuff as well.
