    Miami Vice (2006)

    ★★½

    Miami Vice feels like Michael Mann operating at a much larger scale, with more locations, moving parts, and glossy production value than his earlier work.

38. 38
    The Devil Wears Prada (2006)

    ★★½

    I’m immediately pulled in by the star power, but it’s Meryl Streep who anchors everything.

39. 39
    Inside Man (2006)

    ★★
40. 40
    Paprika (2006)

    ★½

    I watched this because of the fact that it was one of Christopher Nolan’s inspirations for Inception (2010).
