The Walker Evans Effect

So last year, I made a list of my Top favorite movies of 2004, and here’s my rundown this year for 2005. I’d say I had a harder time with it this year, because honestly 2004 was a great year for movies. 2005 just didn’t have any movie that stuck in my heart like Napoleon Dynamite or Shaun of the Dead or Eternal Sunshine or Team America did. I guess that’s a pretty hard lineup to follow. So anyway, here it is… my top 10 of 2005 in no particular order (too hard to line them up)…

Top 10:
Batman Begins
History of Violence
Sin City
The Aristocrats
Millions
Kung Fu Hustle
King Kong
Jesus Is Magic
Four Brothers
Thumbsucker

Honorable Mention:
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
Red Eye
Memoirs of a Geisha
Jarhead

Worst (or most dissapointing) of 2005:
Star Wars III
Transporter 2
War of the Worlds
Charlie & The Chocolate Factory
Layer Cake
Constantine
Alone in the Dark
