To recap, Stoopid's top ten is...
Good Night and Good Luck
King Kong
Brokeback Mountain
Batman Begins
Munich
Revenge of the Sith (That's RIGHT, I put a Star Wars movie on here!)
Serenity
Howl's Moving Castle
Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit
Sin City
Mine is a little different... althought there is some overlap.
Munich
- this is my favorite movie last year
Serenity
- must give props
Howl's Moving Castle
- this is now my favorite Miyazaki movie
Batman Begins
- best comic book movie ever, and I love comic book movies
Crash
- very good all around
Walk the Line
- I liked this better than Ray
The Constant Gardener
- Rachel Weisz acts, really
Millions
- this movie is underappreciated
Hustle & Flow
- still humming it
Wedding Crashers
- I was surprised by how funny this movie was.
I did omit Brokeback Mountain. It was good, I'm just not sure it moved me in any way. I feel like Brokeback is the Million Dollar Baby of this year, and Munich is the under-appreciated Aviator. I wasn't as affected by Heath Ledger's character as I was by, say, the girls from Eat Drink Man Woman. All the movies on this list affected me personally. That's fair, right?

I gotta say that Batman Begins is the best comics movie ever, but the original Superman is still as good as there has ever been. The Spiderman series is the most consistent so far. Back to the present list for 05. WALK THE LINE is amazing, but I think that's because great acting is what I always look for in a film. WEDDING CRASHERS is the movie of the year, in my mind. I need to say something controversial, so I gotta throw a vote in for all of Johnny Knoxville's hard work this year: Dukes of Hazzard and The Ringer are two of the best movies of the year! Argue that if you dare, all of you forum posters out there! Take me on, I dare you!!!!

The funny thing about "The Ringer" is that this guy in my writing class, Cameron Litvack (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1195342/), pitched an idea something like this, or talked about it, or something, and we all told him instantly how awful it was, so I'm not sure how this got through the most rudimentary of screening processes.

Johnny Knoxville read it and said he liked it. That's what got it through. I'm just guessing. Doesn't matter! It's a film about strength of performance more than strength of writing. As you're watching, you just soak up the Knoxville. Kick me in the nuts and put it on MTV, that guy is one fine acting dude!!!!!
