Flicks.co.nz – NZ’s independent film website
- has released lists of the best films of 2007. The full
lists, along with film details & trailers, can be found at

Lively debate (shouting matches) and eventual consensus amongst the Flicks.co.nz critics (some stormed out, upturning tables and weeping) resulted in the Flicks.co.nz Best Films of 2007 List, see below.
Below that, are the most popular film pages & trailers on Flicks.co.nz for 2007. While New Zealanders enjoy their blockbusters, the three most popular films are art-house fare; British drama Atonement tops the list, German hit The Lives Of Others and Kiwi comedy Eagle Vs Shark follow up.
FLICKS.CONZ BEST FILMS OF 2007 (in no particular
order)
Sunshine
“Nobody’s got onscreen sci-fi this
right since the original Matrix.”
The Assassination of
Jesse James by the Coward Ford
“Cinema’s most tragic
coulda-been since Rupert Pupkin.”
Zodiac
“Redefines
our expectations.”
The Lives Of Others (Das Leben der
Anderen)
“An intimate story about a touching human
connection in a cold war zone.”
This Is
England
“Breathes with life & some of the most natural
spontaneous acting seen in ages.”
Ratatouille
“A
charming low-key treat.”
The Dead Girl
“A
perfectly-cast, deftly written, passionately subdued
collection of fables about Missing White Women”
The
Bourne Ultimatum
“Smartly plotted, sublimely cast, and
presented with such panache you could almost forget the
Seagal-worthy dialogue”
Deep Water
“It's a ripping
yarn, as well as a very personal tale of aspiration and
failure.”
The Darjeeling Limited
“Personal
filmmaking in the mold of the French directors of the 60s,
and the Americans of the 70s, live on via Wes
Anderson”
Control
“Anton Corbijn's inky and
atmospheric portrait of Joy Division front man Ian
Curtis.”
Superbad
“The funniest film of
2007”
Little Children
“Easily the year's most
overlooked film and curiously dismissed by many Kiwi
critics”
Eagle Vs Shark
“Taika Waititi found humour
– perhaps quintessentially NZ – in awkwardness,
loneliness and character insecurities.”
Black Snake
Moan
“You could sit through a million pitch meetings
and never arrive at a notion like this one.”
Pan’s
Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno)
“An un-Hollywood,
imaginative fairytale.”
