Best Movies of 2005

Here’s the list of movies for 2005 that belong to the top ten list of Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper:

1. Syriana
2. The New World
3. Crash
4. Munich
5. Junebug
6. Nine Lives
7. Me and You and Everyone We Know
8. Capote
9. Brokeback Mountain
10. King Kong
11. A History of Violence
12. Walk the Line
13. Yes
14. Millions
15. The 40-Year-Old Virgin

Out of the fifteen on the list, I’ve only seen one (King Kong). It wasn’t even on both lists nor did it made to the very top – a paltry eighth place. It could be because some of these films aren’t screened yet in the Singapore theatres or weren’t even allowed here at all. I, however, wanted to see The 40-Year-Old Virgin and A History of Violence, but my viewing partner doesn’t like the sound of their titles much.

I’d be on the lookout for these titles on our local theatre listings or checkout the DVD stores. Check them out yourself.
