It's the end of the year, so I thought it would be interesting to find out what films AJB users thought stood out in 2006. For me there was
A Scanner Darkly, Brick, Munich, The Proposition and of course Casino Royale.

1) The Prestige - Brilliant performances and an amazing story.
2) Inside Man - Clive Owen was amazing.
3) V for Vendetta - Great fun, and a film that makes you think.
Of the movies I have seen I must mention Brokeback mountain, Oldboy, Good night and good luck and United 93. But my vote goes to "The Departed" by Scorsese himself. Master in (nearly)top form, and for the first time exloring the police community in addition to organized crime.
In a near level Cars...
i want to think that Rocky Balboa, Flag of or Fathers and Letters From Iwo Yima could make that list, but they haven't opened here yet.
Casino Royale Rules
Do you think Stallone is up for another Rocky? I certainly can't see him in the role of Rambo again. It's like Roger Moore coming back for the next bond film.
....and, of course, Casino Royale.
I also liked Munich and Tsotsi (of course, being South African!) I haven't seen all that many films this year unfortunately. I would really have liked to see 'flyboys' but it wasn't released in any cinemas near where I live. In fact, as far as I can tell it wasn't released in the UK at all - anyone know??

I'm not saying that i want to see Rocky because i want to see Rocky (age 60 something) fight again... i just saw the trailers and i see it as a drama, i mean, Rocky at his worst, and i would like to see the development of that (not the Fight itself)
About Brick: Amazing, i like it (even when i had to see it again to realize some things) i loved that the main character looked like John Lennon
And More Bond Moore, for wath i understand, there are some fellows that want a 55 plus Brosnan to make another Bond.
