Best/Worst movies you saw in 2006?

What were the best and worst movies you saw in 2006?

Best for me would have to be Deja Vu with Denzel Washington. FB and I went to see it only recently and I thought it was great.

Worst would be Borat. There were just a few moments that made me laugh and I thought the rest of it was mostly forced for laughs.

Best Movies:
1. The Departed
2. Inside Man
3.The Prestige
4. Mission Impossible 3

Worst Movies:
1. Actually none, I always read first the infos about the movie before i watch it...

Funbrunette · 12-21-2006, 10:51 AM

Not too many stand out...Maybe Deja Vue and I got a good giggle out of Borat. To be honest 2006 wasn't the best year for movies. But then again I enjoyed Turistas so what does that tell you about my taste for movies...lol

SykkBoy · 12-22-2006, 12:34 PM

best: Little Miss Sunshine, with Saw III a close second...I haven't seen the departed yet and I have high hopes for The Good Shephard and Rocky Balboa (I hated part 5 with a passion, but like what I'm hearing so far about this one)
worst: or at least the biggest disappointment - Nacho Libre...I really like Jack Black, but it just didn't do it for me...

Evil Chris · 12-22-2006, 02:59 PM

I am really looking forward to The Good Shepherd.

FB... Turistas was actually pretty good I agree!

Deja Vu is definitely a great movie, I finally had the chance to see it. One movie I was not very impressed with this year was "The Lady In the Water", I had imagined it would be a better film but sucked in my opinion.

born2blog · 12-23-2006, 12:58 AM

A couple movies I REALLY look forward to seeing next year are

300 - Official Site
Transformers - Official Site

carol.prime · 12-23-2006, 09:48 AM

I've just watched "Little Man" and it is very funny...
The Wayans really know hot to put a good laugh on people's faces...

I stayed away from Lady in the Water on purpose because I thought it might be bad.

Is it at least worth a rental?

Okay, I'm probably going to get the Bah-Humbug award for this but I really hated "The Pursuit of Happyness". Yes, I feel bad for the guy that his life was so crappy, yes I'm happy that he and his son were able to build this amazing relationship, and yes I understand that life isn't always a bed of roses, but two and a half hours of a homeless stockbroker??? I live in LA. I can just prop up a lawn chair on Santa Monica Blvd and see it all around me. It's like being next to a talker on a bus who starts off with "boy, my life really sucks right now... wanna hear about it?"

I was also really disappointed by "The Holiday". I love Jack Black but he looked like he got really pissed off at the director and played the movie with as much sappy smarm as he could muster, just to get back at him. Kate Winslet, whom I adore, did as much as she could with the boring material and was the one bright spot of the movie. Cameron Diaz was okay, but not really as likable as she's supposed to be, and Jude Law was handsome as ever, although his gorgeous tan mysteriously disappears towards the end of the movie, although only a few days are supposed to have passed. Thank God for the inclusion of several songs by Imogene Heap, which kept me from deliberately trying to choke myself to death on my popcorn due to terminal boredom.

My favorite movie this year would have to be "Another Gay Movie". It was nasty, lowbrow humor at it's absolute best. Any movie that makes me almost puke from laughing so hard will always top my list and this was one of them. I do have to admit, though, a lot of the humor was based on things I could relate to from my own personal experience so it might not be as funny to everyone else, but everyone I know that saw it really liked it.

I also caught a showing of the silent movie sci-fi classic "Metropolis", recently restored so that it looked amazing. If the recent DVD release is anywhere near as good I highly recommend adding it to your Netflix.

The departed is at the top for me in 2006

McKidd · 12-28-2006, 02:30 PM

Best for me in 2006 was Saw III. Maybe not as good as the first one, but way better than Saw 2.

Worst? Nacho Libre! Terrible!!!

Sarah_MaxCash · 12-29-2006, 09:48 AM

Children of Men was by far the best film I saw in the cinema in 2006. I think it just came out in North America but came out here ages ago.

SykkBoy · 01-04-2007, 01:15 PM

I can't believe I left Jackass Number Two and Hostel off the list...
Hostel came out way early in 2006 and I had almost forgotten is was a 2006 film

Stephane76 · 01-04-2007, 02:32 PM

The Good Shepherd sucked ! Watched it 2 days ago and almost fell asleep a couple of times....

Little Miss Sunshine and The departed were my 2 fav for 06 !

Yeah Nacho Libre was very disapointing for a Jack Black movie.

Sarah_MaxCash · 01-08-2007, 05:39 AM

I just watched Nacho Libre and didn't think it was as bad as made out in these threads. It was silly but in exactly the way it was intended. Reminded me a bit of the style of Young Einstein.

Visualad · 01-08-2007, 12:35 PM

ONE of the best ones in 2006 was TSOTSI:

Sarah_MaxCash · 01-09-2007, 10:25 AM

was Tsotsi 2006? It was good whatever year.

Cool! I hope you like it.. :-)

And even though the following movie was produced in 2005, it came out in 2006 in many parts of Europe and I saw it during the fall..

Its in the top 5 of 2006 movies I saw: C.R.A.Z.Y

The movies I enjoyed most in 2006 was Mostly drama, Drama/comedy. And Some good thrillers. Lots of shit in 2006...

I usually get around 3-4 DVDs per week.. And not many of those I watched in 2006 was worth mentioning.

Tsotsi and Crazy are 2 of the good ones though.

SilvercashJeanette · 01-10-2007, 08:42 PM

SykkBoy · 01-15-2007, 03:33 PM

I recently saw Idiocracy (which was made I guess in 2004, sort of released by Fox in 2006 and made it to video last week) and would have to add it to Best of the list...

StaceyJo · 01-16-2007, 08:08 AM

Best:
I like Nanny McPhee
X-Men
V for Vendetta

magician-hump · 01-16-2007, 09:28 PM

Definately 'Brick' (2005) it's mint, Probably the 'coolest' movie I've ever seen... I watched it last year (2006), so I guess it applys to this thread... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0393109/

Departed
Lucky Number sLevin
