High Five Best Films of 2007

By Joe Lozito
No Country for Old Men four stars
This Coen Brothers adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel may be their darkest film yet. It's also one of their best.

Juno four stars
What's sure to be the breakout indie hit of 2007 (and deservedly so) establishes the voice of screenwriter Diablo Cody and the career of young actress Ellen Page.

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly four stars
In a perfect match of director and subject, artist Julian Schnabel adapts the memoir by late "Elle" editor Jean-Dominique Bauby into a compelling and intense look at one man's experience with locked-in syndrome.

Eastern Promises four stars
Like it or not, the Russians have their very own "Godfather" with David Cronenberg's dark, brutal thriller about the inner-workings of London's Russian mafia featuring another powerful performance by Viggo Mortensen.

Once four stars
Small gem of a film about a struggling guitarist who finds love on the streets of Dublin is the most impressive reinvention of the musical genre since "Moulin Rouge".
