Movies of 2006

Written by: Josh M., Senior Editor – Posted: Tue Jan 2nd, 2007

For most moviegoers the 2006 movie season didn't really begin until late summer. The entire first half of the year yawned out sequels and remakes at record pace, each as uninspired as the next; quality gems were thin on the ground. But once the box-office was relieved of bloated, big-budget epics, moviegoers were treated to a plethora of well-crafted, under-the-radar movies that garnered acclaim from the get-go.

Proving that even your average Joe wants to be somewhat challenged instead of spoon-fed a script, some of the biggest films of 2006 were savagely realized with a human touch. Look no further than Borat's gratuitous nudity for humor's sake along with United 93 and Little Miss Sunshine's use of death-as-unity as proof that America's palette is widening.

The following movies are the best 2006 had to offer, and whether comedy, action or drama they all have the same principle: Give the public what they want--in large doses.

Little Miss Sunshine was fantastic. I absolutely loved it, and
it's probably my number one favorite movie this year.
For me it would probably be a tie between POTC2 or Step Up....
United 93 is the only film on this list I agree with. To be fair,
I haven't seen Little Miss Sunshine or The Departed, but Borat
really wasn't the slightest bit funny.
I would have said Step up. I really liked it. But I guess it was
because there was alot of other dance movies that came out.
little miss sunshine is by far one of the best movies of the year
potc was the worst dissapointment of a movie i've ever seen. i
LOVED the first one, and i literally thought potc2 was a joke. im
glad its not on the list.
I wasn't fond of United 93, just because it was .... too
Hollywood-like.

Little Miss Sunshine definitely had my vote, though :)
Psh. Where is POTC? Jeez. That was the best movie of the year,
hands down.
Haven't seen any of these movies.
The Departed had a few frame-by-frame rip-offs of Infernal
Affairs.
I did not watch any of those movies. In fact, I only went to the
movie theaters 4 times in 2006. >.< I *really* wanted to watch
'The Departed' when it came out, but I was broke then.

I, too, am disappointed that 'PoTC:Dead Man's Chest' wasn't on
that list. I think it was the best movie that came out last year.
The Departed was a re-make of Infernal Affairs (Taiwan's best hit
since who dunno when)...i didnt get to watch it though!
really agree with the choices. i think that a movie that qualifies
would be one that everyone sees and enjoys and i can guarantee
that's not how it is for these movies
i think Borat should be number 1
United 93 was pretty good, 9/11 [the movie] was better tho.
Little Miss Shine was fantasic.
Didn`t see the other ones but I will see Borat soon, the Borat
character [ Sach Baron Cohen] is my cousin!!
I will never see Borat. I think it looks like the biggest waste
of money.

And I'm disappointed that Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's
Chest wasn't on there. It was more than awesome.
I've never heard about ANY of these expect Dream Girls, but it
sounded stupid...
I really want to see Dream Girls, it looks like a great movie. I
would also like to see Little Miss Sunshine just because it's
gotten such good reviews...want to see if it's really as good as
they say.

I'm not interested in seeing Borat at all...I've watched a few of
his skits and just don't find they appeal to my sense of humor.
I saw Little Miss Sunshine at a free screening. People laughed so
hard they were wetting their pants. Didn't think much of Borat at
all.
hmph haven't seen any of those movies....sheesh

if you've never seen dream girls then how do you know jennifer
hudson steals the screen?
i loved little miss sunshine. such a cute film!
I wanted to see The Departed, I love Jack Nicholson. Dream Girls,
I will never see...and I'm sick and tired of them announcing that
Beyounce is the star. Jennifer Hudson steals the screen.
of all of these I've only seen BORAT and it was AMAZING... I'm
seeing Dream Girls tomorrow though, can't wait!
