Today, I'm currently avoiding my research paper... or taking a break, as I prefer to refer to it, so I was perusing friend blogs and their links to other people I might know and I happened upon an acquaintance from college who has started writing occasional movie reviews for Daily News.com. And as I skimmed his blog, I found a list of his top recommended movies from 2006.
So here is my list for 2006 movies I haven't seen yet, but plan to make a someone intentional effort, especially since they were recommended (on some level) by Nate(listed by the order of importance/quality he gave them):
Children of Men
The Illusionist
The Queen
United 93
Monster House
Scoop
World Trade Center
Flags of Our Fathers
Friends with Money
The Prestige
Babel
Nanny McPhee
Marie Antoinette (even though he calls it a "Clunker")

Nate Bell! I *love* Nate Bell. Seriously. One of the few RTF people I wish I was still in contact with. *Great* taste in films. He views films very intelligently, and not just from the "movie" perspective, but from the story perspective as well (which is, of course, why he's so smart).
:-)
Unfortunately after that glowing review of Nate's work, I have to disagree with him. ;) As much as I love Paul Giamatti, The Prestige was 10 times what The Illusionist was.
