2006 saw the new
James Bond -- and he was better than ever.
Scorsese delivered one of his 5 best films.
Sofia Coppola reconfirmed that she is one of
the great talents of this generation.
In fact, the entire Top 10 is one that I am
very pleased with. 2006 is a very
solid year.
I also think that
there were lots of hidden gems that slipped
through the cracks than usual. If you
check out all the sections below... you may just
find some great rental ideas.
After all, that is
the best thing about Top 10 lists... rental
ideas that you may otherwise have passed on.
So, without further
ado, let's start with the good stuff...
