Lucky Number Slevin was alright, but how the fuck would it take the top spot on any list?

9/24/2006 11:23:02 AM

The Proposition was a wicked good movie

I can find no comparison between those two things. Maybe you meant Hard Candy?

"Syriana came out in 2005, ese."

Yep, I saw it last December.

9/24/2006 2:16:18 PM

^was about to say the same thing...

9/24/2006 4:53:34 PM

yeah idk where i pulled brick from. i meant hard candy.

9/24/2006 6:07:08 PM

happens to the best of us... but yeah, check that one out

9/24/2006 6:20:56 PM

I haven't seen that many this year but as of now,
1. Thank You for Smoking

I haven't seen enough other movies this year to add any more to my list.

I hope Thank You doesn't get snubbed at Oscar time, but I'm sure it will.

9/24/2006 7:31:36 PM

NEW LIST OMG.

1. The Science of Sleep.
2. Brick.
3. The Puffy Chair.
4. Inside Man.
5. Dave Chappelle's Block Party.
6. The Proposition.
7. Half Nelson.
8. Hard Candy.
9. Bubble.
10. Friends with Money.

I kind of want to put The Departed in there, but I don't know quite yet where.

[Edited on October 14, 2006 at 12:00 AM. Reason : ]

10/13/2006 11:55:40 PM

^Yeah, my list is going to change soon... half nelson is probably going to have to be in my list too... the departed may too...

I liked Science of Sleep a lot, but I don't think it will break my top 10.

Either watching Jesus Camp or This Film Has Not Yet Been Rated tomorrow.

heard anything?

Looking forward to both...

10/14/2006 1:08:56 AM

Unfortunately, I haven't seen Jesus Camp yet (didn't get the print in time to screen it. I have seen Not Yet Rated, and it was all right. It would have been a lot better if the director hadn't mentioned everything that happens in the entire movie in his interview on Fresh Air last week. I really want to see Jesus Camp, though.

10/14/2006 1:40:44 AM

Whats up with that Galaxy/Consolidated hook up/trade?

I spend way too much money at the galaxy for someone who manages a movie theater.

10/14/2006 1:48:40 AM

I am not now, nor have I ever been, a communist!

10/14/2006 1:57:22 AM

haha, fair enough

10/14/2006 2:04:13 AM

BORAT ISN'T ON ANYONES LIST?!

10/14/2006 9:30:10 AM

it might be because no one has seen it yet. but i dunno. it's probably a j00 conspiracy now that you mention it.

10/14/2006 9:48:25 AM

there havnt been 3 good movies all year , how the fuck are you supposed to name 10.

I really didnt think " thank you for smoking" was a good movie at all. It was like a poorly done "Lord of War" with worse lead acting, less humor, and cigs instead of bullets.

[Edited on October 14, 2006 at 10:03 AM. Reason : but thats just me, perhaps people being assholes on purpose doesnt entertain me]

10/14/2006 10:02:15 AM

^^ no need to see it to know it will be an instant classic

10/14/2006 10:46:43 AM

Still have Borat, The Fountain, Jesus Camp, Last King of Scotland, and Babel to look forward to. Not to mention I proabably missed every decent movie that came out before July.

12/11/2006 4:19:40 PM

Shortbus and Marie Antoinette get Honorable Mention in my list.

12/11/2006 4:22:35 PM

My list will likely change some when Children of Men comes out- I've heard nothing but good things.

I wonder if there's any possible way of seeing Pan's Labyrinth before next year, too- it looks amazing.

[Edited on December 11, 2006 at 4:51 PM. Reason : .]

12/11/2006 4:48:35 PM

The past month has totally shaken up my list.

I need some time to process things.

12/11/2006 4:53:51 PM

The Fountain, and Superman Returns. (thats about all I can think of for 2006)

I also thought The Prestige was pretty neat.

[Edited on December 11, 2006 at 6:56 PM. Reason : Haven't seen The Departed]

is Pan's Labyrinth, Perfume, or Requiem playing anywhere around here?

12/31/2006 7:28:55 PM

Requiem is playing at Galaxy right now (probably just for one week, though, until Thursday). I think you'd really like it. We're getting Pan's Labyrinth on the 19th. I think Perfume is opening mainstream (wtf, it's Tykwer) in about a month.

I'll have my final list once I've seen Pan's Labyrith and Children of Men.

12/31/2006 7:49:35 PM

Nobody like The Departed? If i wasn't so lazy and wanted to make a list it would make top 5 easily

^^didn't see that first time around

[Edited on December 31, 2006 at 8:06 PM. Reason : a]

12/31/2006 8:04:22 PM

^....that was on my list...

and only on the bottom because it was in ABC order (yes, i know it should have been in the D's and not T's ...)

12/31/2006 8:05:59 PM

in no particular order:

the science of sleep
little miss sunshine
hard candy
thank you for smoking
stranger than fiction
rocky balboa (just for getting to see a rocky movie in theatres )

it is worth noting i never got to see brick, borat(surprising since my friends and i have had the ali g dvds for years now), babel, or half nelson (all of which i heard were good).

worst movies i saw: X3, lady in the water, silent hill.

1/1/2007 1:19:49 AM

can we just agree 2006 sucked as far as movies

1/1/2007 2:09:53 AM

UH no.

half 1 of 2006 sucked, half 2 rocked

1/1/2007 2:22:50 AM

OP lost all credibility with

Quote :

"1. Lucky Number Slevin"

so I stopped reading right there.

1/1/2007 2:38:32 AM

1. borat
2. jackass 2 (just bc i like to laugh, and between all the cringing i did a whole lot of that)
3. hard candy
4. the descent (pretty much all you can ask for from a horror movie)
5. the departed
6. the hills have eyes (pretty much all you can ask for plus some super ridiculous/funny parts)
7. the prestige
8. lucky number 7
9. green st hooligans (yea i know im probably alone on that one)

and i couldn't think of a tenth

but i still haven't seen apocalypto, flags of our fathers, letters from iwo jima, little miss sunshine, requiem, pan's labyrinth of course, babel, half nelson, brick, children of men, the science of sleep, casino royale...all of which could wipe out my entire top ten...besides my top two

1/1/2007 5:18:43 PM

borat was fucking horrible

1/1/2007 5:22:59 PM

EARL?

1/1/2007 5:27:36 PM

the hills have eyes was fucking horrible

1/1/2007 5:27:48 PM

pretty much all you can ask for from a horror movie plus some super ridiculous/funny parts

1/1/2007 5:45:30 PM

the departed was a good movie this year

1/1/2007 5:47:24 PM

Quote :

"9. green st hooligans (yea i know im probably alone on that one)"

i really liked that as well. forgot that i had actually seen that within this past year.

1/1/2007 6:24:18 PM

PS i forgot that i thought the last kiss was a very well made relationship movie.

1/1/2007 6:25:41 PM

I'm surprised Pirates 2 wasn't mentioned in anybody's list but like one time

the best movies I saw all year were just recently - The Departed and Blood Diamond

1/1/2007 6:47:20 PM

why, pirates 2 was a huge letdown

1/1/2007 10:13:56 PM

so was x-men and people mentioned it

1/1/2007 11:31:07 PM

1. Clerks 2
2. Grandmas Boy
3. Jackass 2
4. Beerfest
5. Cars

1/2/2007 8:34:12 AM

i suppose this is kind of an honorable mention but, The Five People You Meet In Heaven was one of the best made for TV movies i've seen. I actually liked the way it was shot too.

1/2/2007 10:50:45 AM

i have more of a "movies i wanted to see in 2006 but haven't gotten around to yet b/c i'm slack" list than a top 10 movies list

i started to list them but my list kept getting longer and longer, and now i'm just sad

1/2/2007 12:51:51 PM

Quote :

"so was x-men and people mentioned it"

yeah, 2 people, far earlier in the year.

and it dropped out of one of their top tens later.

1/2/2007 1:06:51 PM

1. Casino Royale
2. The Departed
3. Pirates 2
4. Lucky Number Slevin
5. United 93
6. Apocalyphto (yeah i misspelled, whatever)
7. Clerks 2
8. Borat
9. Beerfest

My memory isn't that great and I don't feel like concentrating and thinking of 1 more. Oh, and my list is in no particular order, except for the first one. And there were a bunch of movies I wanted to see but didn't, I just don't have the time.

1/2/2007 1:45:59 PM

1.Babel
2.Iron Island
3.United 93 (finally saw the dvd version instead of the bootleg)
4.Half Nelson
5.Science of Sleep
6.Borat
7.The Fountain
8.The Departed
9.Little Miss Sunshine
10.Brick

HM: Marie Antionette, Shortbus, Requiem

2.Children of Men
3.Iron Island
4.United 93
