The Best Movies of 2005

2005 brought everything from comic book heros (Batman Begins)
to another remake of an 8000 pound gorilla (King Kong)
to the long anticipated first heavy breathing of Darth Vader (Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith)
to aliens once again coming to conquer us (War of the Worlds) but of course failing
and another game turned movie (The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)
as well as the latest installment of youth gone magical (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire)
and Willy Wonka’s return to the big screen (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
also 2 guys looking for love in all the wrong perhaps right places (Wedding Crashers)
a couple who really wants to kill each other (Mr. & Mrs. Smith)
and finally the one big animated movie of the year (Madagascar)

whew… and those are just the top grossing for 2005… lots of Hollywood glitter and gold in that list.

so for those of you who’ve seen a few of these, which one was your absolute favorite?

i would’ve thought that King Kong or Star Wars Episode III would’ve been a close race for me. however, i’m sticking with Batman Begins. i’ve watched it on dvd a couple times since seeing it this summer at the movies and it just entertains me more than the others. granted, i haven’t seen all these movies (some i have no interests). who knows, maybe your comments will motivate me to check one i wasn’t planning on even renting.

  1. I’ve voted on just what I’ve seen, which doesn’t include King Kong, Narnia, or Harry Potter, and don’t plan to see the Brad Pitt, Jolie thing. So, out of what I’ve seen, Batman Begins is my pick for sure. I LOVE how it pretty much ignores that there ever was any other Batman movie. Christian Bale made a great Bruce Wayne/Batman.
