My favorite LA picks:

Sight and Sound celebrates this list of ten:

(Aha, my “New World complex” is kicking in: Hooray! somebody acknowledged The New World as a great film of 2006!)

New York Magazine has a colorful series of reflections on the year, in which they call The Queen the “year’s best movie.”

And then there’s the AFI, with a strange collection…
