Top Movies of 2006

Well the year is almost over and I thought I'd just share my thoughts about what is worth seeing this year. I was lucky enough to get out a lot this year to the movies, I barley went out the year before... but maybe because for the most part 2005 didn't have any movies worth seeing.

Best of 2006

1. The Departed
Scorsese is back and man does he deserve the fucking Oscar this year. If he doesn't get it something is up, pay this man his dues already Hollywood.

2. Borat
Easily the funniest movie this year, and perhaps at least the decade. As all my friends know I've been pushing Borat for years now on "Da Ali G Show", and I'm glad he finally hit mainstream. (But is that a good thing) You know it's going to be good when critics agrued if it was the funniest movie of all time, not if it was just funny.

3. Bobby
At times a little to star heavy this biopic of Robert F. Kenndy was superb nevertheless. A very low key movie release wise, it didn't get many theatres. Rent it on DVD if you get the chance.

4. Apocalypto
I don't care what the hell Mel Gibson said, thinks or does. He's one of the most talented film makers out there. I came for the Braveheart, I stayed for Apoco.

5. The Prestiege
Nolan can't seem to make a bad film. No matter what he is doing he just has a solid foundation of what film theory is and makes entertaining stories. Great story, great characters and Scarlett Johansson in various pushup corsets. Yes please.


An honorable mention goes out to The Fountain. Now... it's cheating. I haven't actually seen the fountain, mostly because it didn't show in a theatre within a 100 mile radius from where I live unfortunatly. I'm pretty certain if I did catch this film it would have been up there somewhere. Number 1.. Number 6? I don't know but I'm checking it out as soon as I can.
