2005 was not a very powerful year for motion picture making in general around the world, and also less so for Hollywood, but there were several glowing moments on the giant screen.
"The Best of Youth" by Marco Tullio Giordana was made in Italy and aired there as a television miniseries.
Now you may have the DVD on Amazon or Netflix and get all set to hunker down because every disc is over three hrs long, however it is well worth the time for you to become familiar with one of the finest 2005 films ever made.
It tells the storyline of two brothers who take different routes in life and the ladies they love, all with the background of sixties radicalism and rioting.
"King Kong" by Peter Jackson is actually a flawed, extremely long effort that's even now one of the very most awesome flicks ever shot and all due to the portrayal of the ape by the actor who portrayed him (of course there is an actor, but absolutely no monkey suit).
This particular remake of the 1933 black and white classic is actually fantastic after the first uninteresting hour.
This 2005 features movie stars Jack Black and Naomi Watts.
"Batman Begins" was terrific and stars Christian Bale.
This movie will be dark but very realistic.
The Batman here is not superhero, just a man on a quest.
Very suspenseful which made this one of the 2005 films that you cannot forget.
This was also the prequel if you know of 2008's "The Dark Knight".
"Sin City" with Mickey Rourke is one of the most aesthetically magnificent 2005 motion pictures with its larger than life motion picture noir look and comic strip stylizations.
"A History of Violence" directed by David Cronenberg and featuring Vigo Mortensen was bloody and vicious, but also suspenseful and filled with surprise twists.
"Wallace and Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" was the greatest of the 2005 motion pictures to feature animation, and claymation at that.
Even though suitable for children, the laughter is perfect for grownups as well.
Extremely hilarious.
"Kung Fu Hustle" directed and starring the funny and twisted Kwok Kuen Chan still positions among the funniest and strangest 2005 movies and is also really worth leasing.
This is actually the very same director who brought us the really hilarious "Shaolin Soccer".
"War of the Worlds" featuring Tom Cruise was in fact memorable for fantastic effects but goes on very long.
The end sequence is simply plain uninteresting.
The first hour though is great and will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Mentioned are several of the finest 2005 flicks and you will definitely have your most loved.
Get the snacks all set, time for film night!
