Written and directed by the Coen brothers – you know, the guys that directed Fargo, The Big Lebowski, andNo Country for Old Men. In fact, the Coen brothers placed for something like five Owl Pellets in our first annual film awards (for No Country for Old Men).

So yeah, we did have our own awards, or a “master list,” but here are my personal top 10 favorites from 2007:
