In times past, I have forced my self (against my own artistic predilections) to watch certain movies that would be guaranteed to make my worst of the year list. Movies that are inexplicably liked by the masses of cinematic plebians out there, but nonetheless are atrocities of celluloidal nature. Life, though, is a finite matter of time (at least as far as we know right now) and therefore I have held back my urges to see movies such as Little Man, Nacho Libre, Talladega Nights, You, Me and Dupree and Larry the Cable Guy, just so I could fill out the obligatory worst of the year list. Sure, I did end up seeing some of the obvious choices, but only a sampling of the more (weird saying it, but) "upper class" bad movies of the year. With that said, here are the ten worst movies of 2006.
