  • Favorite/Worst Movies 2005

    As 2005 comes to an end what movies were your favorite and worse of the year?

    My favorite for 2005 was Frank Miller's Sin City...best comic adaptation ever!
    My worse was The Pacifier...why do people like vin?

    Also liked, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory....It was true to the book and
    The Exorcism of Emily Rose.... great courtroom drama and scare.

          he did it cuz silly crude cheap and quickly made movies like this sell.
          temendous R.O.I.
          so many believe just because the american public will gulp down junk food don't mean they must make it for them. but no, as long as we support this kiinda stuff, it will continue to be churned out by the hollywood machine.

            here's a very accurate succinct review of that lovely precious charming Steve Martin film in question.

            i believe this conveys a rating of:

            "One finger up. Way up."

              1. Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
              2. Batman Returns
              3. The Chronicles of Narnia
              4. March of the Penguins
              5. War of the Worlds (Spielberg version)
              6. Kingdom of Heaven
              7. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

              King Kong may also be in my favorites list as I plan to watch it this weekend.

                I like Mr&Mrs Smith far more than I had anticipated.

                War of the Worlds was electrifying and terrifying the first 3/4 of the movie. The ending sucked.

                And I really, really wanted to love Revenge of the Sith, but just couldn't bring myself to wrap around it. I held my breath, and watched them all, and in the end I had to admit to myself that these "first" three movies sucked. Darth Vader was a James Earl Jones-infused badass, and the boy just couldn't carry off the charisma needed to become the badass. And Amidala did not have the polished pair of ovaries needed to birth Leia and her braddah. I couldn't suspend reality with them. There was so much to live up to, and they were just too....mortal, in that "One Tree Hill" sort of way.

                  I didn't see very many movies in 2005, guess I'd vote for "Mr & Mrs Smith" as my favorite, the Harry Potter one as my least favorite.

                    Is this theater or DVD? I'll put whatever I watched.

                    From what I can remember:
                    Best
                    Batman Returns
                    Kung Fu Hustle
                    Murderball
                    Clone Wars Part II (Cartoon)
                    Beautiful Boxer

                    I also liked Narnia, Madhot Ballroom, Sin City, In Good Company, The Woodsman, Fever Pitch, Millions.

                    Worst ... hmmm.

                      Ooh, ooh, I wanna play! I watch a lot of movies, especially on DVD, but here's my 2005 in-theater list:

                      The best:

                      Brokeback Mountain - saw it at HIFF in October and thought it was the best movie I've seen in years
                      Junebug - saw it at Varsity; it's a small indie film that is very accurate about how families, especially in-laws, interact
                      Munich - I was on the edge of my seat the entire time
                      40 Year Old Virgin - I laughed my butt off, even though I felt like a sicko for laughing at some of the jokes!
                      Batman Begins - great backstory and Christian Bale is the man
                      Downfall - the story of Hitler's final days, featuring incredible performances and stomach-churning evil

                      The worst:

                      Silver City - saw it at Doris Duke this Spring...it's some kind of political thriller but I walked out halfway through. Only the 2nd movie I've ever walked out on in my life

                        Fave: Walk The Line

                        Worst: None. I don't spend money to see bad movies.

                          Favorites:
                          Crash (I think it was released last year, but just rented the DVD recently)
                          The Hidden Blade (Japanese film - watched it at the Honolulu International Film Festival)
                          Prime (because I can relate to it , plus I love Meryl Streep)
                          Eulogy
                          Chronicles of Narnia
                          and I know it doesn't count, but my all time favorite is Lord of the Rings!

                          Worst:
                          I can't remember. I tend to forget the bad movies.

                            I finally saw Sahara http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0318649/.
                            Another pretty good movie from 2005.

                              Just got back from seeing Munich. It was one of the best I've ever seen.
