I’m working on writing a review of the year’s movies and reflecting on what I’ve seen my impression is that it has been a lacklustre year. Time allows me to write it in two parts, firstly, I am writing a general summary of the years releases and trends. However, it is for the second part, a Top 10, Best of the Year type list, I am struggling most- has there been an outstanding movie this year, has there been a performance on the tip of everyone’s tongue, what has the years best tagline or movie poster been and what has been the sequence or scene of the year?

I certainly have my favourites and there are clear contenders for a list but I have only arrived at this list after rummaging through my years viewing a number of times. Also I know there are a number of movies to be released during December which should be considered (Stranger than Fiction, Breaking and Entering among them) so maybe we might be surprised by a late entry. Otherwise I look to you Dossing Times bloggers for your impressions of the movies of 2006- has there been any great movies I’ve missed or hidden gems you’ve discovered and what have been your highlights and disappointments of the year.
