The Joshcars 2005
The best in film according to me

Best Movies of 2005
1. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the SithAmazing special effects, cool fight scenes, and Anakin turns into Darth Vader! (I bet you're shocked.) My Review
2. Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-RabbitFunniest movie of the year. Amazing animation. My Review
3. Brokeback MountainOutstanding acting, writing, and directing. My Review
4. MunichIntense, exciting, and a political message without preaching (Something Crash, Syriana, and Good Night and Good Luck couldn't pull off).
5. CapoteGreat writing and acting, led by a brilliant performance by Hoffman. My Review
6. Grizzly ManFascinating multi-leveled documentary. My Review
7. The PromiseAmazing Chinese fantasy movie -- with a deep story, too. My Review
8. Sin CityIncredibly cool direction, but slightly lacking in story.
9. Batman BeginsBest Batman movie yet. Great action, involving story. My Review
10. UshpizinAlmost made me turn Orthodox. My Review

Also, this year I'll give King Kong all the awards like art design, scenery, etc. Cinematography goes to Brokeback Mountain. Special effects should definitely go to Star Wars -- almost every scene was completely created with special effects. I don't care how good Kong looked - so did Yoda, General Grievous, and an army of Wookies.
