Eiga geijutsu Best Ten 2007 (E+J)

[Aaron Gerow]

I just reported the KineJun Best Ten, so here is a somewhat different  
list from Eiga geijutsu.

Eigei changed their system a bit this year. While in previous years,  
worst ten votes were subtracted from best ten vote totals, that has  
been abandoned this year, so the two tallies are now completely  
separate. The result, I think, is that some of the major films (often  
the target of some cranky Eigei voters) that a few worst one votes  
would have traditionally knocked out of the best ten are staying in  
the list, making the Eigei list a little less different than  
KineJun's. But still, there are a number of small films in the top  
ten that most KineJun voters probably didn't even see.

The vote results and the commentary will appear in Issue 422 on sale  
on January 30.

Best Ten:

1) Sad Vacation
2) Sore demo boku wa yatte nai
3) Tennen kokekko
4) Tama moe!
5) Matsugane ransha jiken
6) Sakebi
7) Shaberedomo shaberedomo

2) Boku wa, kimi no tameni koso shinini iku
3) Kantoku banzai!

6) Orion-za kara no shotaijo
7) Sukiyaki Western Jango
8) Toku no sora ni kieta
9) Dororo
10) Aoki okami--chihate umi tsukiru made

Just a note: thanks to Nippon Connection, we will be showing Jaman +  
ame (German + Rain) this semester at Yale.
