I have my list, do you have yours? (Granted, I have not yet seen all of the current Oscar contenders. Plus, I prefer to watch movies that are 20 years old or more.)
No specific order:
The Departed
The Descent
Thank You For Smoking
Sweet Land
Apocolypto
Casino Royale (never thought I would have a Bond movie here)
Little Miss Sunshine
United 93
Pan's Labyrinth
The Pursuit of Happyness
Geez, for a horror guy there's not a lot of horror up there. That tells me a little something...

Thanks Ben.
I would put Hard Candy up there. Slither and Feast were really great films and I considered putting them on the list, but they didn't quite make me feel the way the above films did. I found a list online of every film released in 2006 and didn't see Hard Candy on it, so I admit, I missed it.
So I will officially add Hard Candy up there.
What would you say the best films of 06 are Ben? Let's get this thread rollin brotha!!!! YEAH!
I didn't see Casino Royale (I'll get to it so relax) or United 93 (not really sure I care to see that one).
I saw Sweet Land but I wouldn't put it in my best of 06 list. It's a good movie and gotta give props to a local production.
Slither and Feast go on my list for sure. I thought they were both great additions to the stagnant PG-13 horror waters. To bad they both got completely over looked at the theatres.
You forgot two great horror
You forgot two great horror films:
Slither
&
Feast (even though imdb says 2005 the theatrical run wasn't till 06)
Hard Candy is an 06 as well. Fantastic film.
There was a couple of other films that I'd call good but not the best.
