Here’s my top movies that i’ve seen in ‘06

1. Little Miss Sunshine- Definitely not overrated..probably underrated
2. Brick- Amazing acting all around..best mystery film in a long time
3. V For Vendetta-Natalie Portman is great in this as well as Hugo Weaving
4. United 93-powerful and gripping
5. Apocalypto-a movie about running from enemies…but done extremely well
6. Inside Man-I haven’t seen any other good ones this year..this one will be off the list soon
7. The Descent- Best horror film since Alien…i’ve had it with all the Saw knockoffs
8. Borat- literally the funniest movie of the year..constant funny

I still need to see Children of Men, Half Nelson, Babel, Dreamgirls, Pan’s Labyrinth, Last King Of Scotland, Blood Diamond, The Illusionist, The Departed,

United 93 was ‘manipulative?’ Far as I could see it just told the straight facts.

Shit, is EVERYBODY here Canadian? What are you all talking aboot?

I have to agree with you John. United 93 was the most contrived and extremely manipulative movie of the year. No way in hell does it deserve a place on that list.

I’m pissed that the best show on TV, THE SHIELD, isn’t in their top 10 list of best tv shows. Forrest Whitaker’s performance in this show was amazing, and the show overall hit a high-mark this past season.

Surprised no one’s mentioned my favorite film of the year, Children of Men. Everything else I really loved has been mentioned.

But yeah, Children of Men is amazing, maybe not best of the decade or nothing, but of the year, easy, go see it if you havn’t.

well CJ i am certainly not trying to say you are wrong at all…all I was pointing out is that we saw the same things yet we had completely different experiences.

There us no bad taste or good taste only personal taste. Anyone who tells someone they are wrong for liking something is an idiot.

I get angry when I hear someone bad mouth a film or band I love but what can you do….everyone is different…

1. The Departed (The Best – acting, directing, writing………)
2. Half Nelson (Gosling is the Performance of the Year)
3. United 93 (The most heroic film of the year. Greengrass puts you in that plane, an unforgettable experience.)
4. Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (Very Nice!)
5. The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada & The Proposition
6. Blood Diamond (DiCaprio is 2 for 2, he should be rewarded with a nomination)
7. Inside Man (Pure Entertainment….from Spike Lee?)
8. The Presitige
9. Casino Royale (Best Bond ever!)
10. The Break Up

I still need to see Flags of Our Fathers, Letters from Iwo Jima, The Queen….. Most Overated film is Little Miss Sunshine(good, but not great).

“There are people who honestly liked Gigli and Glitter” -John Campea.

That is true, John. What is also true is that if you should ever meet these people, run like hell.
