2007 - Iconic?

I've been trying to watch all the Oscar nominated movies before the awards. It hasn't been so easy because, to be frank, it's been a terrible year on the whole. Or maybe my tastes suck. No Country, Juno, Michael Clayton were all a borefest, yet they're the top-runners. I haven't seen There Will Be Blood yet. I did see Atonement which was fantastic - deserves prizes, and I went to the cinema to see Sweeney Todd yesterday after Oli's recommendation - really great (why isn't Helena Bonham Carter up there instead of Depp?).

Out of a year of bad movies, here is my top 3 (with a close runner-up):
Hairspray
3. Sunshine
2. Atonement
1. Bourne Ultimatum

The point of this entry was that Toho Cinemas in Japan has been running a really nice trailer to celebrate its 10th Anniversary. It shows an icon for one of the blockbusters for each of the past 10 years. Can you name all the movies (some are easy, some are difficult):

What picture/movie would best represent 2007? I have no idea.

2004 LOTR??

phil-san said...

I would say there's a bigger asteroid movie that year than deep impact. apart from that, the rest are correct, including LOTR.

So, still waiting on 98, 00, 01, 03and 05
