Midnight Eye Readers Poll - Best of 2007

Midnight Eye has posed their annual readers poll for the best Japanese film of 2007, and the winner by a fair margin is Satoshi Kon‘s Paprika.  No complaints here; that film is a knock-out and should be canonized at some point for those putting together a docket of definitive feature-length anime cinema.  The top 10 below.

1. Paprika
2. Strawberry Shortcakes
3. Memories of Matsuko
4. Sukiyaki Western Django
5. Retribution
5. Tekkon Kinkreet (tie)
7. Noriko’s Dinner Table
8. I Just Didn’t Do It
8. Nightmare Detective (tie)
10. Glory to the Filmmaker!
10. Sakuran. (tie)

Surprising to see Hana and Dianipponjin so much further down the list (and below the somewhat tedious Glory to the Filmmaker!), but there you have it.

    It’s still a bit sad but I’m quite proud of the fact that I’ve managed to see three of the films on the list. I’m shooting for 4 for 2008!

    I’ve seen 8 of them!

    Just of the 10 listed here though.

    I think Japanese Cinema has become my favorite in the entire world as of late.
