Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

10. Superman Returns

Brian Singer was born to direct superhero movies. X-Men under his direction were awesome. He leaves, X3 sucks. He joins Superman, it's awesome. He's born to direct superhero movies. He is enough of a comic nerd to make his films appeal to hardcore fans, but a good enough director to appeal to casual fans.

9. Rocky Balboa

It is possible my appreciation for this film stems merely from the pleasant surprise of its quality. I was cheering in my seat. Great flick.

8. Lady in the Water

This took a lot of flack, but I really enjoyed it.


7. Little Children

This may have been the best film of 2006. However, it's genre will not appeal to everyone, and though I enjoyed it, it's not going to crack my Top 5.

6. Letters from Iwo Jima

I am not a Clint Eastwood fan, but I think this may be his best work. Ken Watannabe is superb in every role he takes.

5. Children of Men

Clive Owen is brillian at this apocolyptic thriller. It got screwed out of the Best Cinemetography Oscar.

4. V for Vendetta

IMDB.com lists this as a 2005 film. However, it's release date (according to the same IMDB page) is March 2006. That being said, I really enjoyed this. It's weird that two apocalyptic movies came out in the same year though...

3. The Prestige

Nolan has tremendous guts with his daring projects. Memento is one of my favorites, and Prestige belongs right up there.

2. Little Miss Sunshine

If you didn't like this movie you are made of stone. There I said it...

1. Brick

This little seen flick starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt is by far the best film of the year. It is a modern film noir done in an interesting visual style. The cast is filled with no-names (except Levitt and RICHARD ROUNDTREE), yet the acting is uncanny. Best movie of the year, bar none. See it if you haven't. Right now.

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

Woah, I'm shocked this one isn't at number one. :p

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

Casino Royale is a better film. The Departed was great, though.

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

It was alright. One of the best Bond movies but, it was just alright.

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

I agree. It was the best Bond since Goldfinger, but Bond flicks can only go so far, and being the Best Film of the year is beyond it's reach.

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

It was an emotional investigation into the Bond character. Showed he had a heart (Like the shower scene with Vesper)

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

Number One

Inland Empire

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

Yes, it does go against the Bond we are all so used to seeing. I'm guessing that's the reason I only thought it was alright.

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

:( :( :( :(

Can't believe I missed this.... I will never forgive myself...or Lynch, for releasing this with an investment of his lunch money...

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

Didn't it only play on like 2 screens in America?

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

No, it maxed out on eleven screens. It played here in Portland for a week, but I didn't make it over to see it. Mostly because I just didn't care.

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

Is that because you're not a fan of Lynch or didn't like the sound of the film Holden?

Re: Top 10 Films of 2006
 

I liked the emotional investigation of Bond a lot. Of course, I always liked George Lazenby's Bond for that very reason.
