You've seen the film before: A white teacher in the inner city sets out to prove that he can break down racial barriers and change the lives of a few dozen teenagers. However, you've never seen it like this.

Just as I did last year, I could come up with no clear-cut best film of the year. Michael Haneke's Caché emerged as the best after serious pondering, but no sleepless nights of consideration could bring me to name any of these films the stand-alone best film of 2006. So, I've alphabetized what I deduced as the ten finest films of the year with a couple of runners-up that got bumped from last-minute, frenzied film viewing for the past two weeks. Of course, I didn't have a chance to see everything, so the list could easily change by the time this is published. Notable films that I didn't get around to seeing include The Departed, The Queen, Old Joy, L'Enfant, Inland Empire, Three Times, Little Children, Shut Up and Sing, Gabrielle, and Half Nelson. As of right now, here it is for your viewing and arguing pleasure: my 10 best films of 2006.
