Neon, I responded to your post in the Crash thread to push discussion there.

'Brokeback' Author Peeved About Top 10 Loss

Annie Proulx, whose 1997 short story inspired the film "Brokeback Mountain," has penned a scattershot blast in a British newspaper unleashing her anger over the film's Top 10 Number One slot loss.

Proulx criticizes Xixax poster Sigur Ros in the 1,094-word rant, which appeared in Saturday's issue of The Guardian, a liberal paper boasting 1.2 million readers daily.

The Top Film of 2005 went to "Voksne Mennesker," which focuses on finding yourself in life.

Sigur Ros is not only "out of touch not only with the shifting larger culture and the yeasty ferment that is America these days, but also out of touch with his own segregated city," Proulx writes.

"For those who call this little piece a Sour Grapes Rant," Proulx concludes, "play it as it lays."

Calls by the Associated Press to Proulx's Wyoming home and her literary agent, Elizabeth Darhansoff, were not immediately returned Tuesday.
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Do Oldboy and Saraband count as 2005 films?

Does it matter when it was released more globally or released at all?

it's not an award show, you can post whatever you think is relevant here.

Because it was not released in the U.S. until last year, I counted Saraband as a 2005 release.
""Money doesn't come into it. It never has. I do what I do because it's all that I am." - Morrissey

"Lacan stressed more and more in his work the power and organizing principle of the symbolic, understood as the networks, social, cultural, and linguistic, into which a child is born. These precede the birth of a child, which is why Lacan can say that language is there from before the actual moment of birth. It is there in the social structures which are at play in the family and, of course, in the ideals, goals, and histories of the parents. This world of language can hardly be grasped by the newborn and yet it will act on the whole of the child's existence."

It would go by when the film got a theatrical release (film festival showings wouldn't count) in your respective country. In this case, both films got a theatrical run in the US in 2005.

Oh.  Well damn, I should've asked that question before Nominations (though I don't think an extra vote would've put Saraband up into Best Picture or Oldboy into Best Editing.

With that in mind, here is my top 10 or so of last year

10. doom house
9. mirrormask
8. sin city
7. batman begins
6. jarhead
5. oldboy
4. a history of violence
3. saraband
1. brokeback mountain (tie)
1. me and you and everyone we know (tie)

Man... I need to see more 2005 films.

You know, I got into such a craze trying to see all the films from 2005. I did see most of them, but it sucks that cinematic experiences will pass me by. I forget who said it, maybe Scorsese, but how this generation and future ones will miss out on so much cinema because there's just too much to digest and take in. I'm finding theater experiences more fulfilling and have managed to make them almost a routine, ie every Monday I've seen a movie for about three weeks now...V for Vendetta, Slither, today Brick. But I find modern movies mostly redundant. Catching up on earlier films and real cinema of the past, that's always much more fulfilling. Anyhow. Here's a list.

Junebug
Paradise Now
Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
Downfall
The Squid and the Whale
Grizzly Man
Rock School
Batman Begins
Munich
Walk the Line
WWPTAD?
