Last Samurai was cool

big gay kirk
The best film I've seen this year (indeed the best I've seen for five years or so) was "Touching the Void." A true story of two blokes that fell off a mountain, it got the evening standard best film award, and kept a bunch of scouts (and some of their parents!!) quiet for two hours....

tierdxiez
I havn't seen that many movies, but out of the ones I've seen in 2004 I liked best;

Troy
The Butterfly Effect
LotR (saw it in January)
Big Fish (saw in January)
The Girl Next Door was surprisingly pretty good
Secret Window

In no certain order.

a lot of people are mentioning ROTK but am i mistaken in thinking it was released in 2003?

Soth
RotK was released in December 2003, so I cane see how ppl are getting confused

Abra
Top 5

1] The Passion of the Christ
2] Kill Bill Vol. 2
3] Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
4] The Motorcycle Diaries (only b/c I love Che Guevara!)
5] Napoleon Dynamite

Eternal Sunshine was... amazing. Whoever said that Jim Carey can't play a serious role is an idiot.

Aku
1. Last Samurai (Released Very Late 2003)
2. Dawn Of The Dead
3. LOTR ROTK
4. Shaun Of The Dead
5. Alien Vs Predator

Aku
When I said ROTK I meant Collateral.

Myth
1. Kill Bill 2
2. Shaun of the Dead
3. Napoleon Dynomite
4. Team America
5. Eternal Sunshine

Beastro
1.The Passion
2.Fahrenheit 9/11
3.Kill Bill Vol.2
4.Hero
5.Spider-Man 2

Ou Be Low hoo
1. The Incredibles
2. Eternal Sunshine Of A Spotless Mind
3. Anchorman
4. House Of Flying Daggers
5. Kung Fu Hustle

I don't think the last 2 have come out yet in the US, UK and Oz...but you'll no doubt see them soon...House Of Flying Daggers is a more beautiful movie than the totalitarian government-endorsing 'Hero', and Kung Fu Hustle is just plain fun.

MildPossession
House of the Flying Daggers came out in cinemas here in the UK in December. Saw it earlier last year though. Got it on dvd.

TheFilmProphet
Its difficult to pick which five films I think were the best of 2005, but Passion Of The Christ and Spider-Man 2 would definitely go on the list.

MildPossession
I think it would be difficult for anyone to pick their top 5 of 2005...

2.White Chicks
3.The WHole Ten Yards
4.Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen
5.Godsend
6.The Grudge

8.Along Came Polly
9.Torque
10.Napolean Dynamite

Cinemaddiction
I'm going to merge both Beastro and Solo's threads for a 2004: Year in Review thread, as I came across 3 threads all pertaining to favorite/best/worst films of the year.

If you guys come across threads that are similar in nature, report them. If I myself, nor any other moderator participate in the thread, then we can't merge or delete 'em. wink

Somebody please help me sad

Cinemaddiction
There isn't anything funny about it...

Beastro
I know

I usually like Ben Stiller but some of the gags in here just werent and way to over the top.Like those bathroom jokes and that little rodent.There wasnt even a good story.Jennifer Aniston was far from likeable and so was Ben Stiller.There relationship was worse and unbelivable.
