Top 9 of 2006 - Con't....with 2 more...

#5 V for Vendetta

"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people."

Enough said.

#4 Eight Below

I know what you're thinking...A Disney movie with a bunch of sled dogs...how good can that be? Pretty freakin' good if you ask me. This film was based on a true story about a man who worked as guide in Antarctica. His companions were his 8 sled dogs. Seeing as how, I'm a dog-lover myself, this film really hit home for me. In the last year, I lost one of my dogs. So, it took me a while to get up the courage to see this movie because I knew what it was about. Paul Walker's character is forced to leave the research station in Antarctica in emergency, due to medical reasons. The rest of team leaves as well on account of bad weather. The eight dogs were consequently left behind. Hence the title: Eight Below. The story involves Paul Walker's character's quest to return to Antarctica and rescue his companions. Great film. And I don't care how manly you are...you better keep the Kleenex nearby.
