My Top Movies of 2006

Note: This is my list. It probably doesn't match anyone elses. That's more or less by design. Ann Arbor gets flicks that don't hit other markets, but frequently gets Oscar contenders after the awards go out. Some of the choices this year are edgy or offbeat in part due to a trip to the East Lansing Film Festival and some UofM offerings. My advice is to pay attention to ratings and descriptions.
