Yes, there is already a "Best" movies of 2006 topic. But I was thinking about this, and I think we need 2 different topics or columns or w/e. EX: Borat is in no way the "Best" movie of 2006, though it is easily my "favorite" movie of 2006. United 93 is in no way my "favorite" movie of '06, though it is without a doubt one of the best.
My question to you is what is your favorite or most enjoyable movie of 2006?
Favorites of 2006: 1. Borat 2. The Departed 3. Casino Royale 4. Clerks II 5. Mission Impossible III 6. Superman Returns 7. V for Vendetta 8. Talladega Nights: Ricky Bobby 9. Pirates of the Carabean II 10. Miami Vice
Last Movie Seen: There Will Be Blood 9/10 Now Playing: COD4

Ouch. Pirates is on your favs list? I mean, I understand it's massive appeal but did you actually enjoy watching the same fraking gags repeatedly for 2 and 1/2 hours?
I'll probably post my favs list after I've seen a few more limted release movies that are trickling down slowly to the Midwest.

My favorite movie of 2006 was Letters From Iwo Jima. It's the only movie I thought was perfect. I expected The Departed to win the Oscar, though, and wasn't surprised or really disappointed when it did. The surfeit of profanity got on my nerves a little, but it was a good movie. Much better than Babel, in my opinion.

I thought in terms of consistency, "Little Miss Sunshine" was my favorite film. The final ten minutes of the film served as a metaphor for the entire movie. I admire films that choose one major topic of great significance and allow us to view that topic from a myriad of perspectives. The topic, for me, was the slow stripping away of the trivial and unrealistic, so that the important could be embraced. The important in life happened to be the most simple of gifts: genuine relationships. Great movie for our ever growing cyber-culture.
Boy, you got to carry that weight a long time!

I may be the only person in this forum to say this, but I loved The Fountain. Not the first time I saw it, though. It took a couple of viewings to really enjoy it.

The only reason I saw this film was due to a free screening on campus, and I did not connect with it at all. However, I do love both of those actors and there did seem to be more to that movie than what I appreciated in my first viewing. I will give it a few more tries.

Yeah i had high hopes for The Fountain, but was left disappointed. Very nice special effects, but the story was sub par and dialog not up to snuff with the rest of Aronofsky's works. Maybe it was just too epic of a story to idealistically make into a film.

espite the 2003 film being atrocious, i really liked eric bana as bruce. norton's going to have to put on some performance to keep me from thinking he's going to start curb-stomping people at any minut
