Best Films o' '06
I recently started trying to remember what were the good movies that came out this year. In what seems to be an annual refrain, I thought there was a huge shortage of movies that I could imagine filling the 5 slots open to be Best Picture nominees. Of course, this is still pre-December, with many of the contenders probably being held for late release. Not to mention the upcoming film this month that I have the highest expectations for, "For Your Consideration."
But when I took some time to think about the movies that came out this year, I was able to remember a bunch of 2006 releases that I enjoyed. So here is my early "Best O' 06", for your consideration.
Best Picture
United 93
The Departed
Borat: Cultural Learning of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
An Inconvenient Truth
Hostel
Rest of the Best
Miami Vice
Inside Man
V for Vendetta
The Prestige
Little Children
The Proposition
Beerfest
A Scanner Darkly
The Illusionist
Who Killed the Electric Car?

Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction
Lady in the Water
The Da Vinci Code
The Sentinel
Snakes on a Plane
Probable Oscar Contenders that I have not Seen
Flags of our Fathers

It's a little too early for me to do a best o' '06 list. I'd only need to amend it when Rocky Balboa and Let's Go To Prison come out. Here's a provisional list of my favorites so far (roughly in order of preference):
Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story
Brick
Borat
Little Miss Sunshine
An Inconvenient Truth
A Scanner Darkly
Snakes on a Plane
Crank
The Departed
Hostel
The US vs. John Lennon
V For Vendetta
The Proposition
The Descent
The Black Dahlia
Jet Li’s Fearless
Inside Man
Running Scared
As for the stinkers, they're all sequels and remakes...
Miami Vice
Basic Instinct 2
Superman Returns
Clerks 2
Shit! I can't believe I left "Brick" off the list. That movie is definitely near the top. I put Tristram Shandy and Running Scared on the Netflix
