Munich Still Tops

Best Of 2005, Revised
After some assignment work at uni I watched the complex and intellectually-engaging but rarely-emotionally-resonant-when-it-needs-to-be Syriana today (B). It's a film which does the job well in terms of representing a world where human life is swept aside in favour of corporate and political objectives as per the experiences of Bob Baer, but oversimplifies the "martyr" subplot and tries too hard to manipulate the audience with a contrived child drowning that forces the character drama too much.

So with pretty much all of the "top movies" of 2005 that I'm likely to see now seen, here's an updated list of what I consider the best films of last year.

1 Munich
2 King Kong
3 Batman Begins
4 Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
5 The Constant Gardener
6 Brokeback Mountain
7 Good Night, And Good Luck
8 Star Wars - Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith
EDIT: Hustle & Flow in at 9th, forgot it despite just watching it a couple of days ago.
9 In Her Shoes
10 Crash
11 Sin City
12 Harry Potter & The Goblet Of Fire
13 Wallace & Gromit: The Curse Of The Were-Rabbit
14 The Wedding Crashers
15 Syriana
16 Capote
17 Red Eye
18 A History Of Violence
19 Serenity
20 Walk The Line

Every film in this list is worth seeing, guaranteed. Unless you're David and the movie's Serenity.

Blogspot won't let me put any pictures on today - which is a shame: I had a picture of a screaming cat that I found by typing in "hamster" into google. The connection is a mystery.
