As of today I have only seen 52 films released in 2006 (a staggering drop from last year's 79). That is largely due to the massive decrease in free time I’ve had since leaving college. Overall 2006 was one of the weaker cinematic year's in recent memory; however, it was relatively saved by some strong films released during the last few months. As usual, the following lists are only reflections of my personal feelings on the year and have nothing to do with any Award Season predictions.
1. The Good Shepherd
2. Apocalypto
3. The Departed
4. Little Miss Sunshine
5. Babel
6. Casino Royale
7. V for Vendetta
8. Lucky Number Slevin
9. Thank You for Smoking
10. Cars
