Best Movies of 2005

[fezident]

<p>I was watching Ebert and Roper today and I was happy to see that CRASH was Eberts favorite.</p><p>It was, by far, my favorite movie this year.&nbsp; I have been telling anyone and everyone about it since I saw it.&nbsp;</p><p>They also had 40 YR OLD VIRGIN on their top 10. Glad to see an all out comedy get a little love from the critics.&nbsp; That stuff always gets overlooked.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>MY TOP FIVE:</strong></p><p><strong>5) War Of The Worlds</strong></p><p><strong>4) Brokeback Mountain</strong></p><p><strong>3) Sin City (this reeeally grew on me.&nbsp; didn't love it at first)</strong></p><p><strong>2) 40 YR OLD VIRGIN</strong></p><p><strong>1) CRASH</strong></p><p>HONORABLE MENTION:&nbsp;&nbsp; <strong>HISTORY OF VIOLENCE</strong> and <strong>CHRONICLES OF NARNIA</strong></p>

It's made with real bits of Panther so...you KNOW it's good.

<p>I'm surprised both Roger and Paul O' had 40 Year Old Virgin in their top 10s.&nbsp; I also agree with Ron that Crash doesn't belong on any list.</p><p>The only 2 movies that I enjoyed this year and can remember now were both Spielberg's: 1) Munich and 2) War of the Worlds.</p>

[curtoid]

<p>[Edit:] After some thought I've put them in order...but it may change as I see the other films below:</p><ol><li>Squid and the Whale </li><li>The Constant Gardener </li><li>Capote </li><li>Sin City</li><li>King Kong </li><li>Syriana </li><li>40 Year Old Virgin </li><li>Broken Flowers </li><li>Brokeback Mountain</li><li>Charlie and the Chocolate Factory</li></ol><p>I also really liked Jarhead, Batman Begins, Millions, Nine Lives, The Devil's Rejects and Walk the Line. Wedding Crashers, Naked in Ashes&nbsp;and War of the Worlds would be just a notch below that tier. All in all, not the worst years with movies, if you look beyond the megalopiticas-plex.</p><p>The list is written in sand since I still haven't seen THESE ten:&nbsp;</p><ul><li>March of the Penguins</li><li>Grizzly Man</li><li>Match Point</li><li>Junebug</li><li>Hustle &amp; Flow</li><li>History of Violence</li><li>Munich</li><li>Me and You and Everyone We KNow</li><li>Murderball</li><li>Crash</li></ul><br /><em>I'd rather have hope in my soul than soap in my hole...</em>

<p>Ron didn't dig on CRASH? </p><p>I can't believe that.&nbsp; </p>

<blockquote style=""><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9px; ">quote:</font><p>Ron didn't dig on CRASH? </p><p>I can't believe that.&nbsp;</p>[/quote]<br />Ron HATES that movie - he spent an entire XM-length segment a week or so ago when he finally watched it about how dumb it was. I am torn because people whose opinions I respect have given me such vastly conflicting opinions - everything from &quot;best movie of all time&quot; to &quot;MAGNOLIA for idiots.&quot;&nbsp;

[samnyc]

<p>What day did Ron spend so much time on Crash?</p><p>I think he discussed it (briefly I think) during Paul O's segment and some time before as well.</p>

<p>Holy shit!&nbsp; How'd you guys forget Wedding Crashers?&nbsp; </p>

[Contra]

Nobody liked Revenge Of The Sith?

I missed most of the good movies this year. I have a lot of DVDs to buy next year!

Another Contra and LSP joint production

<p>I haven't seen alot of movies this year, but I do agree with Fezzie on some movies. </p><p>I'm a big budget commercial type of guy, so forgive me. I haven't seen &quot;King Kong&quot; yet, but it might be in my top 10.</p><p>My top five are...</p><p>5) Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. (I am a geek, not gay)</p><p>4) March of The Penguins.</p><p>3) Revenge of The Sith.</p><p>2) Sin City.</p><p>1) Batman Begins.</p>

My favorite is Batman Begins, but I haven't seen many films this year, maybe only 4.<br />

<p>5. Murderball</p><p>4. Devils Rejects</p><p>3. Wedding Crashers</p><p>2. 40 Year Old Virgin</p><p>1. Cinderella Man</p><p>worst movie of the year? War of the Worlds.</p>

<img src="http://hometown.aol.com/bonedaddy5/images/newportking.jpg">

[suggums]

<p><br />Munich, hands down.</p><p>A History of Violence is also up there for me.</p><p>I'm with Ron on Crash, he had a lot of same problems with it that I did.&nbsp; Namely, the whole movie is just one stereotypical racism scene after another, almost like a montage.&nbsp; And with the way everyone keeps &quot;crashing&quot; into each other, you'd think there were all of ten people in LA.&nbsp; <br /></p>

<img src="http://img394.imageshack.us/img394/4237/suggumskilgore5id.jpg">

[suggums]

<br />Ironically, Speilberg gets both my votes for best and worst.&nbsp; War of the Worlds was definitely my least favorite of the year.<br />

[Recyclerz]

<p>No disrespect intended to Fez but I have to give a double thumbs up to (one of) his nemesis, George Clooney for <em>Good Night and Good Luck</em> and, especially, <em>Syriana</em>. </p>

[landarch]

I've realllllllly got to get out more.&nbsp; I haven't seen one of the aforementioned movies!!!!

[Yerdaddy]

<p>Hotel Rwanda</p><p>History of Violence</p><p>he 40 year old Virgin</p><p>Wallace and Grommit</p><p>Sin City</p><p>Crash was an awful, pretentious montage of ironic twists made from a paranoid black man's views of how racism works among white people. WRONG! </p><p>My biggest problem filling out the list is that in the last few months the new release&nbsp;bootlegs coming into the country are rotten copies filmed inside a movie theater. That's actually a bonus sometimes - when it's background noise of someone chewing popcorn or seeing someone get up to go the bathroom, (and thinking: &quot;he's been gone a long time. I wonder if everything's alright.&quot;)&nbsp;- but when the sound and picture are shit, there's just no point. So I've only seen the new films from the first half of the year. I'll have to wait a few months before I get bootlegs of Brokeback Mountain stolen from the DVD or the internet. I'm sure it will be a big hit here.</p><p>I did just get a copy of Deliverance, which should have some whole new meanings watching it in yemen! </p>

[zentraed]

<p>I suffered through &quot;The Island&quot;, and I thought Syriana was only ok; it felt too much like Traffic, but wasn't nearly as good (same writer, but Sodherberg didn't direct). I would put &quot;Paradise Now&quot; above it. My favorites, in no particular order:</p><p>Capote<br />Batman Begins<br />Sin City<br />The Aristocrats<br />Shopgirl<br />Hustle &amp; Flow</p><p>Disappointments - I do a pretty good job of avoiding awful movies, but I did suffer through these:<br /></p><p>Rent<br />The Island<br />Be Cool (did a little Uma obsessing. She looked better than ever in Prime and The Producers)</p><p>Honorable Mentions -</p><p>Me, You and Everyone We Know<br />Prime<br />Wedding Crashers<br />40 Year Old Virgin&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
