Best of 2007: The Year in Film

Another year, another round of lists. Our panelists are inching into their early- to mid-thirties by this point, so movie-watching is not the priority it once was. That being said, this is still an important job, and somebody's got to do it!

As was the case from 2002-2006, Potpourri has asked four of the most frequent Proudest Monkeys contributors to compile their "Best of 2007" lists. Here's what we've got:
