| | NP: Rosie's Lullaby - Norah Jones Third year running baby! I may post about the Oscars later. Probably not.

Honorable Mentions:
World Trade Center, The Good Shepherd, The Prestige,
Little Miss Sunshine, The Fountain, Superman Returns,
Stranger Than Fiction, Half Nelson, V for Vendetta
| | 20 | Inside Man | | 19 | Miami Vice | | 18 | Apocalypto | | 17 | Water | | 16 | Flags of Our Fathers | | 15 | Marie Antoinette | | 14 | Dreamgirls | | 13 | The Painted Veil | | 12 | The Illusionist | | 11 | The Queen | | 10 |  | Casino Royale
The fact that it's a James Bond movie and that there have been some dreadfully bad(although still cool) movies of that bunch shouldn't make people forget just how good this film really was. Easily the best Bond ever. | | 09 |  | A Prairie Home Companion
My first Altman movie (and his last). I watched this on DVD and loved it. The cast could not be more perfect, it's paced very nicely and the plot is not too thin or too heavy. A lot of great things about this movie. | | 08 |  | Notes on a Scandal
The best acting I think I've ever seen in any movie... ever. Judi Dench and Cate Blanchett deserve Oscars for their performances although neither will win. Philip Glass' score is excellently tense and the writing is very sharp. | | 07 |  | Letters From Iwo Jima
Although I liked Flags of Our Fathers better, I thought Letters From Iwo Jima was a better film. It definitely needed alot more meat to it's story, but that can't discount the outstanding visuals and technical feats of this movie. | | 06 |  | The Science of Sleep
Another one that I didn't see until after it was released on DVD, this film was added to the top few of my favorites list after the first viewing. Gael Garcia Bernal is easily the most charismatic actor out there today. So creative! I can't say enough good things! | | 05 |  | United 93
Watching this movie is like being on that plane. It's stunning. Everyone should see this movie. | | 04 |  | The Departed
What a story! What a cast! What a sleek, stylistic film! Scorsese knows how to direct a good film. He'll finally take the Oscar for director for this one. It may not be his best work ever, but it's good enough to give him an Oscar. | | 03 |  | Babel
I loved the genius that is the linking of these stories, the showcasing of all these language barriers and how it shows the consequences to these people's careless actions. The acting is top notch. It's a beautifully shot movie as well. But the nudity was gratuitous and it could've shown what Rinko Kikuchi's character was doing without all of the nudity. | | 02 |  | Children of Men
I remember how blown away I was when I saw this movie. It's so intriguing and ambitious. The cinematography is the best I've ever seen. Emmanuel Lubeski shot a masterpiece. | | 01 |  | Pan's Labyrinth
Too many greatthings to say. Just see the movie and I won't have to say them. The Best film of 2006. |
