(David Frankel, 2006)It has been a very long time since I first made my top 10 of 2006, and I am proud to say that my choices haven't really changed. Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette would replace Venus, and Little Children would certainly have fallen by the wayside. Alas, I must stick by my top 2 since they haven't changed. David Frankel's The Devil Wears Prada is a chick-flick. What draws me to it again and again is its perfection in its focus. It presents the fashion world without blatantly criticizing. Alongside what may possibly become Meryl Streep's most iconic performance, Anne Hathaway emerges as an actress separate from The Princess Diaries and makes good on her shining talent which was showcased in Brokeback Mountain. This is one of those few films that I could turn to on T.V. and no matter which scene it was on I could pick up watching immediately.
