Whoops! You're right. I'll amend my records. (It still means a pretty bad year for Disney when the top movie of the year is a reissue, albeit a really good one.)

I seem to recall running Crocodile Dundee for nearly 3 months in the fall of 1986(when you could still get a long run out of a picture) and doing decent business. I seem to recall it sort of save the fall for us that year.

Any year when ALIENS comes out is a good year. One week of that movie more than makes up for the other 51 weeks of crap.

Looking at the Top 100 for 2006 (boxofficemojo.com) the ones that stand out for me are:

  • Cars
  • The Prestige
  • Borat
  • Little Miss Sunshine
A pretty weak year overall but those were the highlights among the films I saw.

Similarly I recall " The Gods Must be Crazy" running for over 12 months at the Cinema Paradisio" in Perth in 1984, was the best thing that ever happened to that cinema .

We ran it at the drive in in 86 and still drew a good crowd. I guess sometimes the simple things are often the best.

My favorites for 2006

walk the line
Ice age 2
cars
superman
casino royal

worst was lady in the water (went to sleep while previewing it [Frown] )
