 | The Lives of Others
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $5.96 D: Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck. Although "The Lives of Others" released in some places in 2006, I'm including it in this 2007 list. This very good German film is set penultimately to the fall of the Berlin Wall, about a Stasi eaves dropper on East German citizens.

|
 | The Bourne Ultimatum (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.85 D: Paul Greengrass. The action is intense, the hand-held camera dizzying, and the car crashes continuing way past being enough. The film's sole intention is to not let the viewers off for morally and ethically reprehensible acts in the name of state security, and plot-wise are caught and returned in the direction of their ideological inventors.

 | Casino Royale (2-Disc Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.99 D: Martin Campbell. The best James Bond film, Casino Royale, stars Daniel Craig, and he is great as Bond. This movie has Bond as a lot less mechanical than in previous Bond films. By the end, it gives viewers that long-overdue explanation as to why Bond seems so mechanical. There's much more emotion in these characters than in any previous Bond film.

Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.60 D: Paul Verhoeven.

 | Eastern Promises (Widescreen Edition)
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $1.28 D: David Cronenberg. Cronenberg came in during the '70s directing very weird horror films like "The Fly," "Dead Ringers" about twin gynecologists, "M. Butterfly," "Crash" (1997), and "Spider," and he has since gone mainstream with productions like Cronenberg's best film, "A History of Violence." This new film "Eastern Promises" won the $15,000 Cadillac Award at the Toronto film fest.

 | You Kill Me
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $1.96 D: John Dahl.
|
 | Beowulf
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $1.84 D: Robert Zemeckis. A good film, but not a great one. Pay the extra money to see it in the theater in 3-D. The beginning of this animated movie is extremely frightening, and gory--not for kids.
