Here's the list of 2005 films I've seen, ranked by letter. On most of my lists I use the year on imdb as the official release year for the movie even if it was released later in the US but on this list, I used the US release date. For example House of Flying Daggers was released in 2004 but it wasn't widely released in the US until 2005. Also movies that had a limited release in the US before 2005, then a wide release in 2005 are included in this list too.
Really? F to Crash and Wallace and Gromit?
I mean, I can see why some people would have a problem with Crash but F? And Wallace and Gromit? I don't know how anyone could dislike it THAT much...I mean, the sheer technical/visual value of it alone has to be admired, doesn't it (which you gave an A to for Corpse Bride)? We must have VERY different senses of humor. Although...it's the same kind of humor in Madagascar, which you gave A to (albeit less tightly written, visually interesting and amusingly quirky IMO).
Explain? (I'm not criticizing, I'm just intersted in some of your decisions)
Crash has one good scene in it, the rest is trash.
I hated Wallace and Gromit, I almost didn't finish watching it. I didn't find anything visually pleasing about it. The Corpse Bride is a much better movie, although I'm not really a Tim Burton fan.
