Time Magazine's Best Movies of 2006

Richard Schickel and Richard Corliss of Time Magazine share the honor to name the Best Movies of 2006. No surprises. Still can't wait to get lost in Guillermo Del Toro's "Pan's Labyrinth" (No. 6) or even Clint Eastwood's "Letters From Iwo Jima" (No. 1). As for "Curse of the Golden Flower" ... yawn.

1. "Letters From Iwo Jima"
2. "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America to Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan"
3. "The Departed"
4. "United 93"
5. "The Queen"
6. "Pan's Labyrinth"
7. "The Good Shepherd"
8. "Cars"
9. "District B13"
10. "Curse of the Golden Flower"
