It's time to fire up the iPhone and ask our old friend Siri to choose a number between 1 and 100 for our "Siri Says" series, huzzah, celebration, et cetera et cetera. And today the lil' lady was feeling devilish and gave me the number 6, so today we will look back at the Movies of the year 2006, and name our favorites.
Truth be told glancing back 2006 was kind of a shit year, you guys? It was an excellent year for Horror Movies (we have Cheney & Friends to thank for that) but I didn't have a very hard time narrowing everything down to this Top 5 - a great Top 5, for sure. But normally with a year so recent I have trouble narrowing down a Top 10, and while technically I could make a Top 10 most of them would just be likes, and not emphatic loves. Hmmm. You decide.
