2006 - that rare year when Alfonso Cuarón, Alejandro González Iñárritu and Guillermo del Toro each had a movie released. And to some nice acclaim too! What's your favorite of the three films?

He's my least favourite of those three, but for this question I go with del Toro.

I think Del Toro's movie is easily the best, but really comparing Babel to the other two is the big joke of this comparison.

A recent rewatch of CoM cemented it as... pretty bad, actually. This is Pan's Labyrinth, easily.

Children of Men for me. Best film of 2006 and Cuaron's best by far. No other films in the 21st century describe as devastatingly the nightmare of far-right totalitarianism.

Love Children of Men and Pan's Labyrinth but give the former the edge. Ew to Babel.

close one for me between pan's labyrinth and children of men, both excellent, but i went with Guillermo on this one. babel is a non-factor here.

1. Children of Men
2. Pan's Labyrinth (liked it more on second watch).
3. Babel
Surprised by the disdain for Babel here. While I think the four stories could be more tightly connected thematically (I find the Japanese one to be slightly out of place despite being well told), they were all heartfelt portrayals of people experiencing perhaps the most desperate and depressing moments of their lives. The performances were also exceptional; Barraza, Pitt, Blanchett, Kikuchi, etc. I also loved the soundtrack.
