…and the NELSON goes to…

by Nelson

Following the “theme of the month” I want to share with you the best movies that 2006 bring to us. Of course that this kind of list follow a personal taste based on cast or director of the film, photography, argument, music or all of them together. I have to say that I did not see the most of the movies mentioned below, this year was very poor in cinema for me, not because I’m disinterest, but because the lack of money and time. I wish a better 2007 on this subject (the * marks the ones I saw).
This post have the propose of one “to see list” and to help me not forget this 33 movies.
