As 2006 draws to a close, Kidzworld is reflecting back on the movies that made us laugh, cry and gasp with excitement. Here's the cream of the crop from 2006.

#10. Best Movies of 2006 - Monster House

It doesn't take long after the neighborhood tyrant, Nebbercracker, collapses on his lawn for three kids to discover that his house is a living, breathing monster (with a penchant for eating those who annoy it). The film mixes all the elements of a good horror flick - death, the supernatural, spooky basements - while still maintaining its comic edge (and even a little romance).

#9. Best Movies of 2006 - Cars

Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is a hotshot racecar on his way up in the professional racing world. He has his eye on the prize - a big sponsorship deal and world-wide fame. But when there's a three-way tie between Lightning and two best cars in the league, he has to head out to California for the race to end all races. Check it out with the whole fam - there's something in it for everyone.

#8. Best Movies of 2006 - Charlotte's Web

There's a good chance you've read this classic story about friendship, courage and a remarkable pig. Charlotte's Web stays unwaveringly true to the book it's based on. It's full of big name stars - at least their voices - and live animals acting super-cute.

#7. Best Movies of 2006 - Flushed Away

When a pampered pet rat gets an unwelcome visitor, his whole world goes down the drain. But that's only the beginning of this unsuspecting rodent's adventures. Flushed Away is a hilarious movie that is truly fun for the whole family, with lots of slapstick gags for the younger kids and a few well-timed "adult jokes" to keep mom and dad interested.

#6. Best Movies of 2006 - Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
Will Ferrell is back - and this time he's faster than ever. Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby is a laugh-out-loud hit with moments of pure comic genius. The actors improvised a lot of the lines, giving the film a bit of a Saturday Night Live feel. Talladega Nights is must-see film that you'll be quoting well into 2007.
