Its no secret that I respect Kevin Smith a fair bit. So when I got wind that he posted his own top movies of 2006, I just had to check it out. We told you ours, so why not check out his?

I thought it was pretty bold to include his own movie in the list, but face it, this movie was made by him to PLEASE him. Of course he got it right… for HIM. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it. I also love his humility when he ranks 3 others higher than his own.
