There's a few movies like Flags of Our Fathers that I haven't seen yet that will probably make the list, but as it stands, this is it.

Children of Men and The Departed are my two faves, each on a level well above anything else I saw. The Descent was fantastic too. Hostel was hilarious and I've come to enjoy seeing it whenever I get the chance. Borat was also hilarious, but was supposed to be, so kudos on that. I liked Hard Candy an awful lot, but I've gone a little soft on it after thinking about how I would have preferred it to be a bit more ambiguous. I also enjoyed the hell out of The Prestige, which was pretty straightforward but still worked superbly for what it was.

Off the top of my head (I don't have my list in front of me)

 

Departed

Little Miss Sunshine

Borat

United 93

Rocky Balboa

Casino Royale

Inside Man

Little Children

Running Scared

Still have to see: Good Shepard, Letters from Iwo Jima, Children of Men, The Queen, Pan's Labyrinth to have a true top 10 list.

Wow... No Borat??!?!

 

 

There's a few movies like Flags of Our Fathers and Thank You For Smoking that I haven't seen yet that will probably make the list, but as it stands, this is it.

 

The only movies I've seen that aren't on the list are Superman Returns and X-men 3

Even though I have it relatively low on my list, good to see SLiTHER getting some love. I didn't like the horror aspects of the film, but it was very funny.

 

buffybeast- Did you see SLiTHER? If not, then you really have no comment. The plot of SLiTHER was irrelevant to the movie.

 

I have Thank You For Smoking in the 20s in my rankings, I thought it was funny but too smug for its own good.

 

Curry- What's Deep Blue?

Did someone nominate "Slither" as a top movie of 2006? WTF? A movie about killer slugs from outer space shouldn't be in anyone's top 10 list.

 

It's not what it's about, it's how it goes about it.

Yes, I did see Slither. Killer slugs from a meteor invade a Southern hick town during the Deer Hunting festivites. If this is the same movie, then yes I saw it. It wasn't scary or funny to me. Just ridiculous.

I was bored with Slither, there wasn't enough comedy to make me laugh or enough horror to freak me out. And I really wanted to like it too.

 

I didn't love Borat like everyone else, it gave me some laughs, but no major ones.

 

I REALLY wanted to see Children of Men, and The Prestige...just haven't been able to yet

Fuck, Slither goes off the list and Miami Vice goes on it.

 

Barron- Deep Blue is just your basic, run-of-the-mill oceanic documentary but it's got some of the most beautiful shots I've ever seen in film in it. And Pierce Brosnan narrates it.
