I'm in bad shape this year sorting out the oscar noniminees b/c I have not seen: Transamerica, North Country, Junebug, The Constant Gardner, Mrs. Henderson Presents, or Pride and Prejudice. It pretty much disqualifies me from the Best Actress and Supporting Actress categories altogether.

My own top ten movies of 2005 would be:

1. Capote (Seemed like real life, not a movie.)
2. Downfall ( Best depiction of Hitler's psyche I've ever seen. It provided a great feel for his madness.)
3. Brokeback Mountain ( Repression --- throw it off and get killed --- keep it on and be miserable. )
4. Syriana ( An updated version of the Ugly American.)
5. Separate Lies ( Marital relations, love, betrayal, honestly, and secrets -- all tightly British wrapped.)
6. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room ( Jaw dropping stuff and media ignored.)
7. Batman Begins (Dark, cool, and brooding ---- very fun.)
8. War of the Worlds ( Loved the settings and the terror, characters were WEAK, but it was a character proof film.)
9. Crash ( Distinct lives on the edge --- somehow intersecting each other across the divide.)
10. The Squid and the Whale ( Who says Adults have to be role models? They can be selfish pigs and model it to future generations.)

Worst Movies of the Year:

Out of the movies nominated, I've only seen "Hustle and Flow". I really wasn't impressed, and the other three people I watched it with all fell asleep. It will probably win. I'm still pissed that "Forrest Gump" won over "Shawshank Redemption", much as I love Tom Hanks.

Thanks for the recommendations, though...I just signed up for Netflix yesterday
