Here is the best of 2006 in the first half of the year in my opinion. These may not all be Oscar contenders, but they are the movies I enjoyed the most.
10. Nanny McPhee – A great family movie that anyone would enjoy.
9. Winter Passing – With a great cast, there was only one possible outcome, Gold. I really enjoyed this movie and its top-flight cast. Too bad it got such a limited release.
8. District B13 – One of the best pure action movies I have seen in a long time. It is foreign, so there are subtitles, but it is worth it.
7. Ultraviolet – This is what Aeon Flux should have been. It was seriously impressive visually, and had a really cool storyline.
6. Cars – Pixar hits another home run with this one. It is completely engaging and really a sweet story.
5. Down in the Valley – Edward Norton turns in another stellar performance, and Evan Rachel Wood shows why she is one of the most courted young talents in Hollywood.
4. Hoodwinked – A different telling of the Little Red Riding Hood story. It is a lot of fun and completely original.
3. Brick – A film noir movie about high school that blew my mind. It is masterfully written and should be acknowledged as such.
2. Lucky Number Slevin – A really well written movie that has a lot of laughs and some really good dramatic points. Josh Hartnett really shows up in this film to get back on the Hollywood radar.
1. V for Vendetta – One of the best superhero movies I have ever seen. I was completely enthralled in that film. If you haven’t seen it yet, you really need to.
