It was my #5 film Adam after just one viewing! ....it's on my plans to see Thursday night on dvd. Can't wait and glad you loved it.

It got ROBBED at the Oscars with no noms for screenplay or acting nom for Maggie or really..even Ferrell. Yes, he was that good.

Yes, one of the many great films that got no love on Oscar night.

I thought the song with Ferrell and Jack Black (at the Oscars) was awesome by the way.

Re: 2006 Top Ten Lists - Time to Throw Down!


I have added Volver to my list at #9 so Sweet Land has been bumped to notables.

I also got to see Babel again, and it seemed forced an a pale imitation of Amores Perros - the fractured structure without the insight or guts. It annoyed me to the point I took it out of even the honorable mentions. Ambitious it may be but Babel is by far the least of this year's offerings from the Three Amigos.

I also realized that Thank You For Smoking was mistakenly missing from my HMs - that is now corrected.

After seeing Stranger Than Fiction for a second time I moved it up one notch to #4, & dropped Thank You For Smoking to #5. No biggie really but Fiction is just excellent!

Added Pan's Labyrinth to my top 10 at No. 8. Excellent film. Decided to bump The Queen to the first team Honorable Mention. Also a very good film...sorry Helen.

Re: 2006 Top Ten Lists - Time to Throw Down!


Finally saw Blood Diamond today and it has moved to the top of my list.
That drops Little Miss Sunshine off my list.
