It's really been an amazing year for movies.
First, some honorable mentions...
-Pursuit of Happyness
-An Inconvenient Truth
-Blood Diamond
-Borat
-Inside Man
-The Descent
-Rocky Balboa
-Slither
-The Science of Sleep
-United 93
-Thank You For Smoking
There are two films that I haven't seen that look really promising, and those are Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth. I have a feeling those two can squeeze into the top ten.
10. Apocalypto

Saw 3 wasn't that good, got boring during alot of parts.

I appreciate the trilogy, the 3rd was just as good, if not better than the other two...

I was wondering about that. Although it was probably only shown in film festivals during 2005, it's theatrical release was in 2006.

the characters were good on the movie but there was not a real story to it.THe plot was dumb in my opinon.I like your list ive seen all those movies except Babal,The fountain and Appacalypto.I do agree with your top 2 tough.

I only watched 2 of them - Casino Royale and Borat. I need to step up my movie game.

I don't know where he's coming from. I was just about to commend you for putting it on the list to begin with. It was an incredible dark comedy about not caring what anyone else thinks. Most of the other characters (Kinnear, Carrel, and Dano) are so worried about image and success (in their own ways) that they are consumed with fear and plagued with flaws all stemming from that desire to portray an image and succeed. The grandfather (Arkin) knew the stupidity of it but knew it too late, and whether intentional or not, passed what he saw in hind sight on to the little girl (Breslin) and you don't see it until the end, at about the same time the three boneheads realize it. That's what I got from the film anyway (Obviously there are so many more themes in the film that I haven't touched on that are also great but I think that was the main theme). Hell, I'd even put it above the Departed (too much music, and I couldn't buy the idea that a group of thugs would dare do such a thing to a high ranking police officer).

yeah u got pretty good taste in movies, although I haven't heard of quite a few in your list, including #1
slither? is that the one with the slugs that take over? With the main character who's first name is the same as his last?

Yeah. The main character's name is Bill Pardy, he basically had the "I'm Bill Pardy and you're not" attitude in it lol

slither sucked. but departed was my favorite movie of the year. I thought lil miss sunshine was really good. those are the only ones I saw in your top 10. Borat was hilarious. that jet li one was dope. Thank you for smoking was really good. blood diamond looks really good, so does the new james bond.
-
i think that new ed norton movie is on some other shit. maybe it's because I'm blazed though
-
Pan's Labyrinth easily takes the number one spot now
-
i didnt see pens or children of man, the prestige is awesome, def one of my favs of the year, i finally saw little miss sunshine and it was awesome, id probly put it in top 10, brick was cool to watch, intrestingly written and done, but i wouldnt say top 10, the fountain was alright, but i dunno about top 10, ill have to watch it again wen it comes on dvd, casino royale, i just dont understand how this movie is getting these amazing ratings, its alright, but nothing special, especially for a bond movie, i wana see dream girls and apocalyptico, comedy of the year is either sunshine or scoop (will be overlooked by everyone woody> borat), departed and babel were my two favs this year, stranger than fiction was also really great, dustin just killed it.
