Rob's Film Rankings for 2006

Below is a pretty complete list of all the year-2006 movies I watched:

These first ten movies are the ones I enjoyed the most.  They are ranked from favourite down.  Of course, a "Favourites" list is always a fluid thing, so the order would change from day to day.  Still, I think these top ten would remain in my top ten, even if the order might change, whimsically.

PAN’S LABYRINTH
BABEL
CHILDREN OF MEN
THE DEPARTED
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MAN’S CHEST
LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE
APOCALYPTO
THE ILLUSIONIST
BORAT

The following list are movies that I quite liked, but not quite enough to make my Top Ten.  They are not ranked.

UNITED 93
THANK YOU FOR SMOKING
THE QUEEN
IDIOCRACY
TRISTRAM SHANDY: A COCK AND BULL STORY
THE DESCENT
CASINO ROYALE
DREAMGIRLS

The next list are movies I more or less enjoyed, but were nothing special.

INSIDE MAN
FIREWALL
16 BLOCKS
MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3
X-MEN: THE LAST STAND

This list are movies I watched and liked okay.  Some of them I had to search harder for likability than others.

LUCKY NUMBER SLEVIN
EIGHT BELOW
AKEELAH AND THE BEE
NANNY MCPHEE
HOSTEL
POSEIDON
SUPERMAN RETURNS

These final movies are 2006 movies that I didn't really enjoy very much.

V FOR VENDETTA
TALLADEGA NIGHTS
