2006 ranks as one of
the most entertaining years in recent movie
history. There were tons of great
films and the requisite number of stinkers
too. However, in my opinion, the sum
total was better than average.
I also think that
there were more hidden gems that slipped
through the cracks than usual. If you
check out the Top 10 below, the honorable
mentions section below that, and the hidden
gems section on the right... you may just
find some great rental ideas.
After all, that is
the best thing about Top 10 lists... rental
ideas that you may otherwise have passed on.
So, without further
ado, let's start with the good stuff...
