10 Best Films of 2006

2006 was certainly an interesting year and it was unfortunate that I didn't get a chance to see some of the critically acclaimed works from this year, namely Letters from Iwo Jima and Babel. Actually this was a quiet year for cinema for me. However, I did manage to catch some great flicks. Here is my top 10 from 2006.
