Well @#%$ it, I haven't seen much more from 2006, but here's my list as it stands, and probably not going to change too much.

1. Children of Men
2. Bobby 
3. The Curse of the Golden Flower 
4. The Departed 
5. Inland Empire 
6. Borat
7. A Scanner Darkly
8. Letters From Iwo Jima 
9. Three Times 
10. United 93

Now part of me wanted to pull an arsaib move, and group these films together, particularly the first two. One reason why I've been so slow putting together this list was that I've been debating whether I liked Children of Men or Bobby more for the last several months. I gave Children of Men the edge in terms of its cinematography, but that's not to say I didn't think Emilio Estevez pulled off a minor miracle with Bobby. My esteem for Curse of the Golden Flower might seem out of place, and in all honesty I was hoping for a little better foreign representation this year. Tsotsi was in the running almost the entire year, but cut it at the last minute for the more adventerous Three Times, which has stayed with me longer and only seems better in hindsight. Rather than a huge ridiculous list of runners up, I'll just leave it at a simple ten.
