They were the flavor, the images emotions, and sound effects of my year—paper, film, and, sound. These titles below are here because I either loved them, or beat the rhythm of my day, or inspired me to create or dream, or made me laugh or cry or both, or simply kept me awake thinking at night. Although a couple of these titles came out before 2007, I only discovered them this year that ends tonight, and they made my year a wow!:
