Films, top 5 of 2007?

[paul]

Jussi, my apologies as well for being off topic. By the way, I did go looking for some of the movies mentioned here. If I find 'em I'll give my opinion.

Mix, good points. I have read that 1080i is just fine for movies and that the only need for 1080p is hard core gamers.
I'll consider individual players though that means I'll have a setup with a blu-ray, hd-dvd, and vhs players. Yes, I have the tape player cause some movies I have were not released in digital form.

Johan, I read about Fujitsu a few days ago. Their plasmas were very good though extremely expensve. Pricing I'm sure is what killed their plasmas.
Bio-Lcd or OLED is a promising new technology. It has it's own set of issues though, not the least of which is it's size. I think Samsung has the largest practical demo unit and it is only 21 inches.
As for pricing for the same size, plasma is a little cheaper here. I still think LCD is better for gaming because you wont get image burn-in. Otherwise plasma is much better for everything else. It has more natural colors, better viewing angles, and a deeper black levels than LCD.

Well, even though this is off topic again, But in light of my previous comments here I'd like to add this latest important Hi-Def DVD info for those that are waiting for the format war to end.

Today the Warner Brothers movie studio decided to throw it's considerable weight and support exclusively behind Blu-ray and will stop producing HD-DVD in the next few months.
Warner Goes Blu-ray Exclusive


This means the great majority of new and old films will be only available on Blu-ray, and the only remaining exclusive Studios supporting HD-DVD,--- Universal and Paramount---- most likely will have no choice but to switch sides too, as Hi DEF disc sales from now on will overwhelmingly favor the Blu ray format.

It's a shame, as in my estimation HD-DVD was a better and less expensive format, but without Studio support, you can't survive...

"Zoo"...hmmm, let me have those Anges Exterminateurs instead :-) I thought Zoo was not bad, though a similar attempt at cratification was sort of half way performed live, real h/c, in Aristide Massaccesi's / Joe D'Amato's infamous 1984 "Galigula The Untold Story/ Galigula la Storia mai Raccontata", apparently the only narrative film to actually show stuff like that. This film grossed out even the jaded Italians and in Europe, was screened uncut only in Holland and Denmark. For obvious reasons, Joe shunned away from the mortal penetration scene.

Loved "Black Book" - I should have included this in my best of-list, shame on me. "Planet Terror" was wonderful, too.

[Nano]

yes Jussi, but don't forget ZOO is a DOCUMENTARY! the Cowboy Man or whatever he's called... he plays himself!

for me, the most incredible film of 2007, hands down. not for all tastes, of course.
