The year 2006 has come to an end, and it is now time to reflect on my favorite movies from 2006.
1. The Departed
Martin Scorsese’s best movie since Goodfellas. This film has everything: action, drama, violence, sex, and one crazy ass ending. Scorsese is a master storyteller, and his talent really shines in this film. Expect to see many Academy Award nominations for this film.
2. Little Miss Sunshine
What can I say about this film aside from it being the funniest movie I saw this year? This film is about one crazy family going on an even crazier road trip to get the little daughter to a beauty pageant. Anything and everything happens in this fun-filled film.
3. Borat
The second funniest movie of the year. This movie was awesome, everyone needs to see this move.
4. Casino Royale
One of the best Bond movies ever. This was an awesome action flick, easily the best of the year.
5. Apocalypto
Mel Gibson upset a lot of people this year with his remarks about Jews, but that didn’t do anything to ruin his film Apocalypto. Very exciting chase movie, filled with tons of blood and great visuals.
6. The Descent
The scariest movie I have seen in a long time. It’s about women that go spelunking in the Appalachian Mountains and come across an undiscovered species of cave monsters. Very scary movie, check it out.
7. Clerks 2
Great sequel to an already great film. Kevin Smith did a great job closing the lives of some of his most famous characters. This movie is very funny and I recommend this to everyone.
8. United 93
Very powerful film about the events of 9/11. Paul Greengrass’s film is filled with fear, anxiety, emotions, and sadness. He did a very good job portraying the events that took place on the plane United 93. Every American should watch this film.
9. Find Me Guilty
I know people will be turned off on this movie because Vin Diesel is the main character, but please reconsider your thoughts. This is a great court room drama filled with lots of laughter. Vin Diesel does an excellent job portraying Jackie D and deserves some major recognition for his part.
10. Dead Man’s Shoes
This movie came about before 2006, but it was released in the United States in 2006, so I am adding this to my list. This movie is amazing. Very dark, British revenge film. Pick this movie up immediately.
