Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005) Didn't see it.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) Didn't see it.

Oh man what kind of crack do you people smoke?

But seriously....I'll nominate "Wallace and Gromit" for best picture, since it was the best one I saw.

Batman Begins, but I didn't see it in the theatre. Serenity was good and all, but not even close to rating an Oscar.

Well that's good, because Oscars are brokeback, and Serenity ain't no queer movie.

Serenity

No question. Best characters, best story, best original script.

Good thing this is the Academy then. This is AR15.com. We pick movies based on how good they are as movies, not how politically. artisticly, and/or liberal correct they are.

You want Oscars? Watch the Oscars. Sheesh... is this realy that difficult. Pick YOUR favorite movie and type it. Some people read WAY to much into stuff.

That movie made me see Bob Saget in a whole new way.

Crash, best movie of 2005.

King Kong was a very close second.

Batman Begins

Yep.

ETA Serenity was fantastic on all merits also.

And Doom wins "Biggest Dissapointment EVER".

The first movie I thought of when I read the title was SERENITY.

Only movie of '05 that I saw twice, and in the theater no less.

Posted: 3/8/2006 3:09:25 PM EDT

[#33]

Wedding Crashers was funny, all of the movies listen was only so so IMO. A few of them are worth seeing once, I dont see many up there worth seeing twice unless theres a large gap of time and you forget some stuff.

Serenity was well worth watching but I wont watch it again any time soon... IDK the movie just didnt do it for me. I would watch sequels to it though.

Sin City

Star Wars III.

I liked how dark it was.

Posted: 3/10/2006 3:54:20 PM EDT

[#36]

Crash

Posted: 3/11/2006 5:19:26 AM EDT

[#37]

Wedding Crashers was my favorite movie of the year. (Boob montages are always good!)

I thought Crash was a good movie and was impressed to see the Acadamy get one right.

I also liked the choice of Phillip Seymour Hoffman, one of the great actors of my generation.
