It’s way too premature for me to write this as there are still several films I want to see that could well make the list — Apocalypto, Bobby, Borat, Deliver Us From Evil, Fast Food Nation, Flags of Our Fathers, For Your Consideration, Half Nelson, Jesus Camp, Little Children, Marie Antoinette, Pan’s Labyrinth, Running with Scissors, Shortbus, Shut Up And Sing, The Fountain, The Good German, The Good Shepherd, The History Boys, The Journals of Knud Rasmussen, The Last King of Scotland, The U.S. vs. John Lennon, Volver, World Trade Center, etc. — but screw it. Here it is anyway, in alphabetical order.

• Blindsight (what I said)
• Brick (what I said)
• Casino Royale (what I said)
• Day Night Day Night (what I said)
• The Departed (what I said)
• An Inconvenient Truth (what I said)
• Kurt Cobain: About A Son (what I said)
• Little Miss Sunshine (what I said)
• United 93 (what I said)
• Why We Fight (what I said)

Three of those — Blindsight, Day Night Day Night and Kurt Cobain: About A Son — were from the film festival and haven’t even hit theatres yet. Four were documentaries; I’m starting to think I should have separate categories.

These were the best movies I watched this year that weren’t made in 2006:

• 24 Hour Party People
• A Very Short Engagement
• Cinema Paradiso
• Darwin’s Nightmare
• Hustle & Flow
• King Kong
• Little Dieter Needs To Fly
• Match Point
• Mr. Death: The Rise And Fall Of Fred A. Leuchter
  
• Munich
• Omagh
• Primer
• Riding Giants

Oh look…four more documentaries.
