For the last few years, I've got into the habit to do a top10 of all the movies I've seen during a year.
I find it quite a good opportunity to sum up a year of going to the cinema, to see trends in the movie I chose over the year and how I enjoyed them...
It's also quite good to remember those great movies I've seen at the beginning of the year, but don't remember I did because it's too far back... ^^;
Obviously this is a totally subjective process, that also tends to reflect my state of mind when I do it.
But just as that it's already interesting.
Anyway 2006 was a good year, I haven't been to the cinema as much a the past couple of years but still managed to see 22 films. And only a few were disappointements!
So making this top10 was quite painful.
Here we go:
01 - Children of Men
02 - Pan's Labyrinth
03 - Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
04 - The Host
05 - The Prestige
06 - V for Vendetta
07 - Munich
08 - The Proposition
09 - Superman Returns
10 - The Departed
Match Point, Casino Royale, Jarhead & Miami Vice are worthy runner ups, that could potentially have replaced the last 4, should I have been disposed otherwise... But it feels right like that.
Looking back at it, it's interesting to see that a lot of these movies are to some extent about misdirection, films playing with their genres, with the audience's feelings, with shades of grey (even Superman!). What makes a hero? A terrorist? A criminal? It's all there. ;)
2006 would have been a year of questionning? Not bad... (^_^)
