Revised Top Ten

Due to the graciousness of several friends (thanks much, folks!) I have been the recipient of a number of Landmark Theaters passes that have enabled me to catch up with a number of 2006 releases I've missed, including two that were so good I felt compelled to revise my previously published art house top ten list to include them. The commercial top ten list stands as originally published. Also, I have recently been able to see "Letters From Iwo Jima", which I thought very highly of and which will almost certainly make my top ten list... however, the list for 2007, since I count a film's WIDE release (assuming it has one) as my criteria for what consitutes a release of any given year. Anyhow, here we have the revised art house top ten.
