Traditionally the last week of the year Hollywood shuts down, so there won't be much news, which is why we've prepared our studio previews and 2007 lists. Get ready to do a double-take as today we've posted our favorite posters for 2007, with our list of worst one-sheets to follow tomorrow. Being that marketing is the most important part of releasing a film, I found it strange that I had such difficulty fidning posters I liked with hundreds of options. Read on to see the best (selected with a struggle) and get ready for sore eyes tomorrow (hopefully you won't go blind).

***TOP POSTERS OF 2007***

SWEENEY TODD, this poster screams Tim Burton. It's artistic, and yet lacks color, which draws your eye. The fat that the only color is red screams for your attention. Johnny Depp sits dead center holding a blade and sitting in a very gothic dominating position. You get the idea and know exactly what you're in for (sans singing); FRONTIER(S), this poster has "French horror" written all over it. The dirty yellow colors help bring out the solid blood-red from her eye. Based on the image, the main character is a strong female lead who has just toughed through one hell of a battle; HOSTEL: PART 2, although this poster says absolutley nothing about the film, it's eye-catching, beautiful and yet completely twisted. This is one of the most stunning posters ever released, and the fact that there's an animated version floating around the web is all the cooler; SKINWALKERS, the poster screams one thing and one thing only... werewolves (whoops!) The image is crisp, clear and stands out wherever it's placed; HILLS HAVE EYES 2, the MPAA flipped when they saw this poster and I don't see why (wow someone in a bag). Everything about this image tells you about the film and what you're about to see - mutants are going to catch some teens and drag them to their deaths. The gritty color scheme is very foreign, which might have been a flaw in marketing the film, but it's a stunning poster nonetheless; TIMBERFALLS, just a simple and wonderfully stylized design. The slanted wording grabs your immediate attention and the the use of blue is well done, it helps bring out the lead in white. The poster is telling of the plot and give you everything you need to know. It's too bad they never were seen in theaters; VACANCY, this is probably one of my all-time favorite posters. It's clever, catchy and quite breathtaking. The colors are all dark and rustic, which help bring out the glow of the neon sign, which screams the title. A+; GRINDHOUSE, nuff said. Grabs the feel of a real grindhouse film.
