I think There Will Be Blood was the better film overall, but I'm extremely partial to Rodger Deakins work in No Country. They're both fantastic movies.
Best film of 2007?

There are lots of great years.
I watched the intro to it. This guy must love Tati, I really should see this.
I would say they managed to improve Chigurgh from the book version. He was already a beastly antagonist in the book but he also gave some little monologues here and there that kind of made him less of a machine. In the movie he was a flat out terminator with a Fate obsession, very economical with his words.
Can't imagine what they could do with Judge Holden from Blood Meridian
Lee Chang-dong's Secret Sunshine is my pick. That said, it feels like a lot of my favourite filmmakers took 2007 off, while 2008 was a bumper crop of awesome stuff.
Great choice. Had no idea it was 2007 too.
You, The Living
Great choice. Had no idea it was 2007 too.

Out of those choices The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a top 10 of all time movie for me, five star movie through and through. I wasn't completely sold on it after first or even second viewing but over the years it has become nearly perfect. There Will Be Blood would be my second choice out of the choices given, great movie.
Jesse James might be top 10 material but there's another 2007 movie that's in my personal top 3. My favourite movie of 2007 is Into the Wild.

Ratatouille easily.
You're talking about a film led by James McEvoy and Keira Knightley mate.

These would definitely be the top 3 of the year for me.
1. [REC]
2. Zodiac
3. No Country for Old Men

No country or Jesse James. I thought there will be blood was really overrated at the time. Haven't watched it since.
What a great year for thrillers but personally Zodiac is my favourite Fincher movie though so I have to go with that.
In no real order:
Still Life
I Don't Want to Sleep Alone
Funny Games
Syndromes and a Century
Inland Empire
Blind Mountain
My Blueberry Nights
Death Proof
I'm Not There
Chacun son Cinema
Edit: Paranoid Park also deserves to be in there but not sure if it cracks top 10
Second Edit: Forgot Flight of the Red Balloon came out in 2007. That would probably replace I'm Not There in the top 10
