My top 5 (Part one) 2007

I was going to make a text about how everything is hopeless and every year is exactly the same so there's no reason thinks will change to better, but that seems depressing so I decided to write about something less depressing than the real situation> the movies.
I'm not a movie expert because I don't really know the names of any directors or cinematographers or screenwriters, I just like movies, I pretty much see one or two movies a week. I watch any kinds of movies from the independents ones up to the more commercial ones, so I decided to compile a list of my top five movies from 2007. I've tried to make a list once before but it took to long so this time I'm not even gonna bother trying to explain every movie perfectly.
The number 5 movie is knocked up, the reason I like this movie was probably because It was god dam surprising to me when I went throw with it. I thought the movie will be just another kind of cheap American stupid ass comedy, but I end up wacthing a movie with a interesting plot, developed characters, and overall it was hilarious.
My number 4 movie from my top ten 2007 list is a movie that probably many of you haven't seen, I have not heard anyone talking or discussing about it, but it is one of the best movies anyway . The name is Turtles can Fly, is an Iraqi and Iranian film. Turtles can fly is an story set in a Kurdish refugee camp on the Iraqi-Turkish border on the eve of the US invasion of Iraq, In the refugee there are lot's of orphan children who's lives aren't easy, they have to clean up the minefields in order to survive.
Number 3 is the Simpsons movie, I didn't want to put this in my list because it sounds corny to have a movie based on a still running TV show which has really lost the relevance, but this movie was pretty fucking good. Even though the show is lousy this days,the movie is really good with really god jokes. It was maybe not as good as it could it been, but you can say that with any adaptation to the big screen. The movie was really successful and the producers seem to understand how to make the humor work in a 90 minuts format versus the 30 minuts format from the show.
