Distributed Films (U.S.)

This is my Best "Distributed" Films (2006) list.

Rules:

*Official theatrical releases only. Self/Int. sales company distributed films didn't qualify as such. A number of factors contributed to the eligibility of films from micro-indie distributors.

*Direct-to-DVD releases were considered if they met the 5-year World Premiere term.
