While I was driving this weekend (back from Houston), Aaron read Entertainment Weekly's top 10 lists for 2006 out loud.
I disagreed with so many of the picks (Gnarls Barkley as top album of the year?!) that I decided to make my own top lists.

And here they are:

Top 10 Movies of 2006: (out of the ones I saw)
1. Children of Men
2. Stranger than Fiction
3. Borat
4. Marie Antoinette
5. Casino Royale
6. The Prestige
7. Down in the Valley
8. The Proposition
9. Pursuit of Happyness
10. Little Miss Sunshine

And here's a list of movies that I think would've made this list that I haven't seen yet, from most likely to least likely:

Sherrybaby
Pan's Labrynth
Little Children
The Descent
Perfume: the Story of a Murder
Letters from Iwojima

Now, Worst 5 Movies of 2006:
1. Little Man (I didn't see this, but hands down, it's gotta be #1)
2. Lady in the Water
3. Miami Vice
4. The Holiday
5. Running with Scissors (I thought this would be great. But it was almost as bad as Elizabethtown.)

And: Worst 2 Albums of 2006:
1. Hinder, Extreme Behaviour
2. Gnarls Barkley, St. Elsewhere

Top Albums of 2006:
1. Gogol Bordello, Gypsy Punks Underdog World Strike
2. Regina Spektor, Begin to Hope
3. The Killers, Sam's Town (This took a while to grow on me, but it finally did.)
4. The Blow, Love Songs LP, plus the song Parentheses from Paper Television
5. Motion City Soundtrack, Commit this to Memory (Deluxe Edition) --I only say Deluxe Edition bc the non-deluxe edition came out in 2005. But I listened to this in 2006.

Top Show of 2006: The Office!

Worst nightmare of 2006 (and maybe of all time): The one I had this morning. Oh wait, it's 2007.
