Favorite Movie of 2005

[Pro A.]

Come, discuss, palaver, and let us share the movie that left you frozen in your seat better than any other.

Here is my pick: A History of Violence

A very tough pick, especially with so many good movies coming on the home stretch, but Cronenberg's movie left me with such a strong impact about a movie that looks at small-town life and the human beings in it that it was impossible for me to forget it. The movie is rich in its sardonic, twisted sense of humor and the violence is not done for kicks. Each death is done with such skill that you will feel a jolt. Added to this, we have tremendous performances from Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and a scene-stealing job by William Hurt that should get him an oscar nomination. Cronenberg (The Fly, Naked Lunch, Dead Zone) has done his most mainstream work with this jarring film that is Darwinian in its approach and is a real gem for those looking for a movie that plays outside of the box. It is, for me, the best film of 2005 by a hair's breadth.

Honorable mentions: Munich, Syriana, Batman Begins, Crash, Match Point

For me- Star Wars Episode 3

This movie filled in so many gaps that lead into the old sequel.

And the ending was similar to the binary sunset scene on Episode IV, my favorite scene in all that is Star Wars...I had goosebumps all over me when the movie ended.

[Pro A.]

I give Episode III credit for being the third-best movie in the series, with Empire running first and the original right behind it, but had the first half of the movie been as consistent as the second, who knows?

[Mirai]

Episode 3 or King Kong.

Can't really remember anything else.

[Moses]

Either Sin City, Munich or Serenity.

[Boggy700]

Sin City.
Unquestionably!

[David]

Crash.

Honourable Mentions to Munich, Batman Begins, and Hustle And Flow.

[Tommy]

Sin City.

[cheeseboy38!]

Wedding Crashers

[Vishus]

It's really hard for me. I like the Comic Book movies. A History of Violence, Sin City, Batman Begins, and Constantine. I also like the fantasy movies such as Harry Potter: The Goblet of Fire and The Chronicle of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Also I cannot forgett 40 Year Old Virgin.

[IEatFriedPikmin]

Number 1 would be Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It made me laugh, say wow to the special effects, and the morale of the story was great.

Honorable Mentions(In order of my favorite... top being the best)
Chronicles of Narnia
War of the Worlds
King Kong
Batman Begins
Star Wars Episode 3

[NoZ]

Sin City
Get Rich or Die Tryin'
Saw 2

[Gopherchux]

for me, i think it's between Sin City and Wedding Crashers.

[Ravster]

[valiek]

I'd have to go with Episode III and Walk the Line as my favorite movies of 2005. There was a good amount of movies i enjoyed, but those were my top picks. Although Narnia was really good.

[Omega]

Batman Begins
Narnia
Episode III

[cheeseboy38!]

Wedding Crashers

[Gilly]

I'd say either King Kong or Episode 3.

[Greg]

Saw 2 and Batman Begins

Epsiode 3 might have made it but after i saw it a second time I realized the writing was horrible.

[Pro A.]

Still better than Episode II, thankfully, and it actually straightens itself out by the second half. Thats when we get the feeling of the old trilogy.

[dncardman]

How is Munic? I've always been meaning to watch it, I was gonna today but I only had 2 hours and heard it was 3 hours 40 minutes!?!?

[D3adcell]

Wedding Crashers.

I would say Grandmas Boy but it came out in january.

[NoZ]

^^Runtime: 2 hours 44 mins

Nearly 4 hours would be a bit long to watch in cinema lol, but hey it would be money spent well.

[WinterBorn]

I have a list I consider my favorites and here they are.

1. The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe
2. Batman Begins
3. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
4. King Kong
5. The Devil's Rejects
6. Stars Wars: Eps 3
7. War of the Worlds

and that is it for I believe that is all I have seen.

[Omega]

I really wanted to see The Devil's Rejects but did not get to catch it in the theater. I thought House of 1000 Corpses was awesome.

[WinterBorn]

I really wanted to see The Devil's Rejects but did not get to catch it in the theater. I thought House of 1000 Corpses was awesome.

The Devil's Rejects is 10 times better. I am a big horror movie fan and pretty much didn't like House of 1000 Corpses much. When I saw The Devil's Rejects it was like hell just crosses over. It was great.

[Omega]

10 times better, wow! I'll have to rent it then, maybe its still on PPV.

[WinterBorn]

10 times better, wow! I'll have to rent it then, maybe its still on PPV.
You should expecially if you like Horror Movies. I adore them with a passion. ^^

[Moses]

Serenity > Episode 3

Sad no one else sees it our way. I got the Firefly box set for Christmas and finally finished them all. I am now preparing for a repeat.

[Crow]

Batman Begins for finally making it what it should have always been, Sin City for idea behind it, and although it wasn't the best The Crow - Wicked Prayer, just because i said so

[Omega]

I almost watched Serenity on PPV tonight but then I decided to wait until tomorrow night.

[D3adcell]

The Devil's Rejects is 10 times better. I am a big horror movie fan and pretty much didn't like House of 1000 Corpses much. When I saw The Devil's Rejects it was like hell just crosses over. It was great.

I thought the devils rejects was kinda lame. It's not scary in the least bit. Although it did have Diamond Dallas Page.

[Omega]

And Sherri Moon!

[WinterBorn]

I thought the devils rejects was kinda lame. It's not scary in the least bit. Although it did have Diamond Dallas Page.

It wasn't meant to be scary. Horror films are not always their to be scary but also to have a lot of gore and violence. Ussually horror films are not scary what so ever to begin with.

I am not afriad of horror films and never was.

[Pro A.]

Horror movies play better when they don't have a lot of blood or gore. Halloween and Psycho have very little blood, but they're great for the suspense.

[WinterBorn]

I don't think so. I love the gore part of horror movies. I always have and actually it turns me on in a freaky way. ><

[Negativity]
