V for Vendetta

Brokeback Mountain has my heart, but V for Vendetta has my seething hatred for government abuse and overreach. Hate always trumps love.

40 Year Old Virgin

Not a skrong year. 40YOV holds the F up in my opinion. Cinderella Man's aight. Don't sleep on Thank You For Smoking, good dark comedy/satire.

You can bet your boots it holds up damn well. Almost went that direction but Juaquin's portrayal of Johnny Cash is too believable for me.

I haven't looked ahead to future years, but I feel like we're starting to get into the era of TV making better movies than Hollywood.

I haven't seen many of these ones. V was good too.

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire aka the return of Voldemort!



Other favorites from 05:

War of the Worlds



Batman Begins



Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy



Sin City




I doubt Brokeback Mountain is as good as Bareback Mountain.

Jesus Batman Begins was from this year and not in the pole? Hands down winner. Sin City also beats the shit out of everything else on the list.

Thank You for Smoking is really good. I agree about most the choices sucking. 40 Year Old Virgin is pretty good, but probably not even a top 100 movie for me.

Munich isn’t the most rewatchable but it’s an important subject matter that I don’t feel like most know about

Read ahead in atypical fashion and learned Batman Begins was this year, which is the obvious winner.

I’ve watched it three times. Five years apart essentially. One of those historical moments that people are very accepting to vengeance

A lot of really good but not all-time great movies this year. I liked Lord of War a lot, V for Vendetta, Syriana, Thank You For Smoking.

Mrs. Coon has the hots for Aragorn, aka Viggo. He is the only thing that got her through the Trilogy.
