            Still not a lot of newer films in this thread. We must all be hard to please.

            I haven't managed to see Dancer in the Dark yet. That's the one with Bjork right?

                Björk's a superb actress although she isn't one, which makes it even more remarkable.

                  As the year comes to an end, polls of every kind can be seen around :P;

                  What was the best film you watched in 2006?

                  The Prestige was my favorite. I always like the movies that you can discuss about and produce your own theories later on.

                  I also enjoyed Lucky Number Slevin very much.

                    Indeed. I enjoyed that very much. I was also surprised by "Running Scared". Not really my kind of movie but this one was great

                      First of all i am not that guy who enjoys watching films. I am old school representative who prefers reading books.
                      I saw 15 films at best this year and maybe 5 which was released in 2006.
                      Secondly i am mostly watching sci-fi movies.
                      My favourites movies are 2001: A Space Odyssey, Blade Runner, Dark City.

                      As I said maybe i saw 5 films which was released this year and from those 5 films jackass 2 was the best
                      yes it is ridiculous, disgusting, stupid film but this one was of those few rear movies where i laughed non-stop all hour and a half. You just love it or hate it.

                        The book was quite captivating too

                        I can not give them in an order like some of you did but here are the ones I like:

                        Godfather I and II, Apocalypse Now, Memento, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List, AI, 2001: A Space Odyssey (even made me see strange dreams), The Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Leon, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Green Mile, Matrix, Kill Bill, The Shawshank Redemption, V for Vendetta, Forrest Gump, Das Boot, Amadeus...

                          I agree with sariss' picks, I really loved both The Prestige and Lucky Number Slevin; The Prestige because it was fascinating, different, historical, quirky, and kept you guessing, and Lucky Number Slevin just because it was fun and didn't take itself seriously.

                          I just saw The Good Shepherd, which I thought was very interesting and my husband hated. I am waffling on whether I think De Niro meant for Matt Damon to be such a cipher in this movie, or did a bad job. Because it's either a work of staggering genius or a three-hour indulgent piece of crap. But the other acting is fabulous.

                          My other favorites: (all big budget movies practically! I am a slave to Hollywood apparently)
                          Thank You for Smoking - perhaps this was only hysterical to me because I work for personal injury lawyers. The scenes in the restaurant with the other merchants of death are my favorite.
                          Good Night and Good Luck -
                          a really interesting movie that made me think about a lot of things.
                          V for Vendetta -
                          just fascinating on so many levels, also makes me think each time. I think I have to buy a copy of this one.
                          Inside Man -
                          very tight thriller, I totally bought it all the way through. Plus, Jodie Foster was in it.
                          X-Men 3 -
                          big-budget mayhem with unbelievable effects.
                          Walk the Line -
                          I adore movies about musicians that are this good.
                          An Inconvenient Truth -
                          because.

                          Movies I still very much want to see:
                          The Fountain - I have loved all of Aronofsky's movies so I know I will like this one.
                          Babel - ditto this director.
                          Volver
                          - ditto.
                          The Queen
                          - ditto. Stephen Frears does no wrong.
                          Pan's Labryinth
                          - just read two great reviews of this one and now I really want to see it now but it's not here yet!
                          Curse of the Golden Flower -
                          oh, and ditto again. Raise the Red Lantern is one of my all-time favorite movies and I just adore Gong Li. I will definitely watch Miami Vice a few times more just for her.

                          did I just spend 10 minutes on this thread? I need to find other diversions.

                              My list has not changed:

                              LA Takedown, The Big Blue, Three days of the condor, The Usual Suspects, Layer Cake and Amelie (and yes, it still had to be six).
