Acclaimed Films of 2007: July 2008 Status Update

July 4, 2008 9:18 pm Andrew Personal Stuff

I’m still humming along on my mission to see all the films released in 2007 that scored 70 or higher on Metacritic. I had to tweak my master list once, when Lars and the Real Girl bumped from 69 to 70 due to the appearance of post-DVD release reviews. Right now I’m at 117/145 films. Of the remaining 28, only 9 are actually available right now on DVD. Of those, probably the most unforgivable blind spot is Control, considering that A) I’m a Joy Division fan, B) the film actually played at one of our local Landmark theaters last year, and C) it’s been out on DVD for a few weeks now.

Of course, amid all this, I’m also trying to stay on top of all of this year’s films. It’s a good thing I’m having so much fun discovering so many great movies, otherwise this might seem like work. The disappointing thing for the completist in me is that a handful of 2007’s films might never make it to DVD. The prospects don’t look good for obscure fare like 2 or 3 Things I Know About Him, Blockade, China Blue, East of Havana, The Goodtimeskid and Tazza: The High Rollers. Consistent with my previous status update, here’s the visual summary of my progress to date:
