The miVi Top Ten Films of 2006 - an introduction

There was a time when I used to watch a movie at least once a week. There really wasn't a lot to do in Thunder Bay if you're not into bowling, hunting or muddin'. But never have I thought of compiling my favourites of the year until now despite that I really haven't seen a whole lot of films in 2006 (I think I'm at 31). Why now you ask? I'm not sure. Could be that the few I did see had a profound effect on me. The kind of effect that, though the movie may not have been the greatest film of all time, refused to leave my head days later.

Some films that didn't make the cut though were very enjoyable:
Casino Royale
Happy Feet (yes Happy Feet)
The Prestige









Some films that made me want to hurt enfants:
Eragon
X-Men 3
Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man's Chest

So, with that cleared up, the following posts will discuss what I consider the Best of 2006. These aren't necessarily going to be the movies I think everyone should watch. It's very hard to do that considering I haven't seen every movie this year nor do I have the same taste as everyone. I am not going to explain or review these from an objective point of view (I mean for crying out loud... Clerks 2 is somewhere on this list!)
