TOP 10 2005

[JG]

This year (06) I've made a promise to myself that I'll see every movie I want to see that is getting decent-to-good reviews in the theatre.  it's pretty important to me because a cinematic experience is so vastly superior to watching it on DVD.  i missed out a few key ones in 2005, most notably the new world and kiss kiss bang bang.  since i wont see all of them until mid-summer, here's what i got so far:



1.  The Squid and the Whale - the one that I'll probably rewatch the most over the next few years.
2.  Downfall
3.  Me and You and Everyone We Know - easily the biggest grower on the list.   
4.  Brokeback Mountain
5.  Munich - the best immediate response I had to a movie all year. 

now, in no particular order:



Capote
Good Night and Good Luck
No Direction Home
Batman Begins
40 Year Old Virgin

I can't help but feel like I'm missing something, so you can expect an edit.

[meatwad]

pretty sure brick came out in 2006

[Reinhold]

imdb has it as 2005. i had to check the thread to remember when i saw it.

It would go by when the film got a theatrical release (film festival showings wouldn't count) in your respective country.
