As you can guess, I'm particularly happy to see that Three Times and A Scanner Darkly made the cut. Inland Empire didn't qualify for mine because it was self-distributed. It will most definitely feature on my '07 list since the DVD is coming out this year. I'm in the minority when it comes to The Departed; I was very disappointed.

You're right, this list should only recognize excellence, and I'll make certain that's the case with my "honorable mentions." 

Nuri Bilge Ceylan's Climates is a film you haven't yet seen. It comes out on DVD on June 26th.
