Dub's intention, I believe, was merely to get people to list all the films they had seen in order to make a shortlist. Which of course doesn't prove much. I'd get people to nominate their 3 favourites, personally.

i don't think i've seen any films this year except the ones i watched on the plane to new york, garden state and napoleon dynamite, but were they even this year's movies?
they were both ok though.

There must be more but my mind's gone blank. At the beginning of the year I thought it would be a good year for film but it turned out not to be that great at all

I'd give an honourary mention to Jim Jarmusch for the ideas in - and for the writing and directing of - Broken Flowers.
I was blown away by a lot of acting, most recently Feinnes and Weisz in The Constant Gardner - that was some acting.
But I don't know the criteria here, so just mentining those in passing . . .

I hate it but loads of people seem to rate Crash and I think House of Flying Daggers came out this year.
Vera Drake was released at film festivals in 2004 but had it's proper release in 2005. If that's included it pisses on the rest.
Been a good year for film tho

i would have to say that a film from 2003 would be my film of the year:

exleper said:Sight & Sound's top 14 (?) films of the year are as follows:
- Brokebeck Mountain
- A History of Violence
- The Holy Girl
- 2046
- Mysterious Skin
- The Consequences of Love
- The Descent
- Moolaade
- Tropical Malady
- The Beat That My Heart Skipped
- Head-on
- Howl's Moving Castle
- Last Days
- The Sun
I'd have thought that Sight and Sound would've realised that Head-On - brilliant as it was - came out in 2004. As did Oldboy. And Team America.
My best -

Mysterious Skin

Edit: to include Head-On, which I'd thought was last year!

I'm amazed - I'd have bet real money that I saw that one last year, but I know I didn't see it as part of the LFF. I'll have to go back and add it to my list, as it was definitely one of the best.

God, I can't think of many. Sideways is very good. I don't think I've enjoyed a film more than Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit though.

I'd quite like to see "The March Of the Penguins" , I saw a clip on Film 2005 and it looked quite good. . Although from the reviews it sounds like it might be better with the sound turned off.
Anyone seen this documentary?

I've seen it and the way the commentary depicts the animals in an antropomorphic way is very dated. Morgan Freeman constantly insists on what the penguins "feel" or "think" when we really have no idea what goes on in those little brains.
I love penguins and there are some memorable moments and images in the film, but any David Attenborough series on the BBC is more sophisticated and informative than this.

I must admit that as a big LOTR fan, when I first read Jackson was next doing a King Kong remake, I thought "WTF". But the more I read, the more I realise this might be decent.

Anyone who hasn't mentioned the Curse of the Were-rabbit should be ashamed of themselves.
