What would you say are the top ten films of the year?

The American Film Institute Sunday picked their favorites and got some help from a panel of 13 filmmakers, critics, scholars and AFI trustees.

The musical "Dreamgirls," the September 11th drama "United 93" and the outrageous comedy "Borat" are in their top ten. Also included in the top ten is the ensemble story "Babel," the fashion-world satire "The Devil Wears Prada" and the gritty classroom drama "Half Nelson."

The animated penguin romp "Happy Feet," the bank-heist thriller "Inside Man," the World War Two saga "Letters From Iwo Jima" and the road-trip tale "Little Miss Sunshine" round out that list.

The AFI does not rank its picks for best films of the year.

The films and shows will be honored at a luncheon in Los Angeles on January 12th. "
