AFI Names it's top ten of 2006

american_film_institute.jpgThe American Film Institue has named it's seventh annual top ten movies of the year and compared to 2005 it's a much more light hearted list. Whereas last year's was mostly made up of serious movies such as Capote, Brokeback Mountain, Crash, Syriana and Munich, this year's list is full of comedies. Here is the list, found through Variety... "Babel" "Borat: Cultural Learnings Of America For Make Benefit Glorious Nation Of Kazakhstan" "The Devil Wears Prada" "Dreamgirls" "Half Nelson" "Happy Feet" "Inside Man" "Letters From Iwo Jima" "Little Miss Sunshine" "United 93 The Devil Wears Prada? Are you kidding me? I know lists are all subjective but Jesus Christ how on earth does that crap manage to get on the list ahead of The Departed or The Prestige. Happy Feet sticks out like a sore thumb as well but it's good to see Little Miss Sunshine get some love. I've yet to see it but the film was universally praised by just about everyone who saw it, hopefully I will get chance to watch it before the end of the year. What do you guys think of the list, is their anything that you think shouldn't be there? Is their a movie you think deserves their place on the list above the movies they have chosen? source - variety
