Hollywood Offers Something for Everyone in 2007 (2/2)

For film critics, the list of the year's top films is very different. The British drama Atonement is at the top of many lists.

Based on a best-selling novel by Ian McEwan, Atonement is the story of a teenaged girl - an aspiring writer - who changes several lives when she wrongly accuses her sister's fiancé of a crime. She recounts the events in a work of fiction, which she describes in the film.

The oil-boom saga There Will Be Blood, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, also earned plaudits from the critics.

Other films well reviewed by the critics include the crime tales No Country for Old Men, and American Gangster, and the legal story Michael Clayton, with George Clooney as a corporate lawyer known for fixing problems.

This year saw two big -screen musicals, the tale of a murderous barber, Sweeney Todd, and the film adaptation of the Broadway hit Hairspray, a quirky comedy about teenagers in 1960s Baltimore.

Producers of the Afghan-themed The Kite Runner, based on a popular novel, hope their film is an exception as it is released in international markets from December through early 2008.
