Looking at the movies that came out that year... plenty of great stuff in there. Lots of great genre films: Superbad isn't masterful cinema, but it's excellent for what it is. Juno is great. Grindhouse was soooo much fun, and the films are just about perfect for what they were meant to be. Loved Enchanted. 3:10 to Yuma was a fantastic Western. Very solid year for the "won't win an Oscar, but great nonetheless" films.
Then of course the aforementioned heavy-hitters, of which Zodiac is my favorite, though I think No Country for Old Men is nearly as good. Just noticed The Darjeeling Limited is 2007. That may trump them all, and be my actual favorite of the year.
