Best/Worst of 05


It was an interesting year because according to all the lists I've read, everyone has a totally differnet opinion on the year's best and worst. Reviewing the year, it wasn't all bad. There were about 15 movies that I couldn't put in my Top 10, but oh well. I could just hear all the people bashing me for my list too. Oh well.

1. The Cave
2. High Tension
3. The Dukes of Hazzard
4. I Love Your Work
5. Stealth
6. Bee Season
7. Rent
8. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
9. Last Days
10. Elizabethtown

Best of the Year

1. Crash
2. Broken Flowers
3. The Best of Youth
4. King Kong
5. Grizzly Man
6. Match Point
7. King's and Queen

I completely agree, except that I have problems with A History of Violence. I think it was overrated and that there's less to it than meets the eye. The writing about it is better than the film itself. I think Crash is pretentious and empty, and hate that it beat out Brokeback Mountain at the Academy Awards for best picture; it has good performances in it though, and is hardly "one of the worst" ever.
