We're big Kevin Smith fans around here. When he recently posted his top 10 films of 2006 on his blog, we were all ears -- or eyes as it were.

Here are the movies that made the writer-director-actor's world go round last year. It reads like an Everyman's list with a little artsy-fartsy thrown in -- something which we can all aspire.

1. The Departed 2. Little Children 3. Half Nelson 4. Clerks II (of course this is a shameless self plug on his part) 5. Inside Man 6. V for Vendetta 7. The Last King of Scotland 8. United 93 9. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer 10. Borat

The Man (we capitalize that word to show our allegiance) even included his honorable mentions: Children of Men, Mission: Impossible III, The Break-Up, Thank You for Smoking, Little Miss Sunshine, Talladega Nights, Marie Antoinette, and The Prestige.

Most of these films are already on DVD so make like Kevin Smith and see them for yourself.
