Borat and Clerks II were both funnier than any movie I've seen before them.

Still need to see Babel, Flags of our Fathers, Pan's Labyrinth, and United 93, all of which I've heard are great.

It's a good movie, but for spoilers, Lois doesn't look the same, although Branden Routh did a good job portraying as Superman, and looked almost like the old Christopher Reeves version. Lex Luther doesn't look the same either, but Kevin Spacey did a good job as well. There's some much newer characters introduced in the movie, but it's still good, and worth watching.

My favoritesof last year:

X-Men 3
Clerks II
Rocky Balboa (I'm the first to mention this movie? Probably my favorite of the year. It was a great way to end the series)
Superman Returns

I thought X3 was great, but it ends up kind of like ROTJ in that it is a worthy conclusion, but you're left feeling like it could have been a whole lot better. In this case, X3 felt really rushed.

I also have to go with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Memoirs of a Geisha was also pretty good (but not as good as the book) but I do not know if that is from 2006 or 2005.

Little Miss Sunshine
The Prestige
Talladega Nights
X3

I should probably check my ticket stubs collection but then I'd have to move and since these spring to mind they're obviously worthy.

Alright, I'll jump on this thread.

Little Miss Sunshine
Pan's Labyrinth
Pursuit of Happyness
The Departed
Stranger then Fiction
Thank You for Smoking
Jet Li's Fearless
The Devil Wears Prada

In a change of pace, these were the movies I couldn't stand.

Date Movie
Open Season
The Wild
My Super Ex-Girlfriend
Happy Feet
The Shaggy Dog

I notice there was a lot of animated movies I didn't like last year. I'm an animation major so I tend to see a lot of family/kids flicks.

Here is a box office breakdown of all movies that came out in 2006, which is where I got a list of movies I saw.
