World Trade Center, Heart of Gold, and Little Miss Sunshine

Quite honestly, 2006 was mostly a sub par year for movies, in my opinion. Although I haven't seen all the supposedly great films that came out, I was often disappointed by hyped films that proved to be less than satisfying. I really couldn't come up with a full ten films for my list, and only the top five below would be unqualified recommendations. That said, here's what impressed me the most this year.

1. The Queen (Miramax Films, PG-13)

2. The Departed (Warner Bros., R)

3. An Inconvenient Truth (Paramount Vantage, PG)

4. United 93 (Universal Pictures, R)

5. Neil Young: Heart of Gold (Paramount Vantage, PG)

6. World Trade Center  (Paramount Pictures, PG-13)

7. Little Miss Sunshine (Fox Searchlight Pictures, R)

8. Apocalypto (Buena Vista, R)

Honorable mention: Casino Royale (Sony Pictures, PG-13)
