TOP 10 - Best Films 2005 |
|
|
|
Brokeback Mountain
(Focus Features) |
|
Filmmaker Ang Lee’s torturing yet revealing and quiet examination of homosexual affection on the western homefront in early 1960’s Wyoming. Both Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal give courageous Oscar-worthy performances as gay cowboys coming to grips with their newfound sexuality in a repressed society not ready to tolerate their mutual intimate feelings. Visually lush and tranquil in scope, Brokeback Mountain is respectable filmmaking at its finest. |
|
Broken Flowers
(Focus Features) |
|
A skillful character study of an isolated individual (Bill Murray) coping with the foreign concept of genuine affection—an insightfully wry relationship-driven drama from experimental filmmaker Jim Jarmusch. |
|
Capote
(Pictures Classics) |
|
An enriching and probing biopic of the late unconventional writer Truman Capote featuring a dynamic performance from an Oscar-worthy Philip Seymour Hoffman. |
|
The Constant Gardener
(Focus Features) |
|
A well-made, soundly intriguing foreign political drama from the robust imagination of Brazilian filmmaker Fernando (“City of God”) Meirelles. |
|
Good Night, and Good Luck
(Warner Independent Pictures) |
|
Probably the best startling and firmly concentrated melodrama about the responsibilities of broadcast journalism and public perception in quite some time. George Clooney clearly emerges as a resourceful moviemaker with this involving project. |
|
A History of
Violence
(New Line Cinema) |
|
This is one of David Cronenberg’s most chilling yet sophisticated psychological melodramas that radiates with distinctive passion. |
|
Sin City
(Dimension Films) |
|
Sin City is a deliciously provocative and twisted big screen take on the stimulating Frank Miller graphic novels—fantastically spry in its sordid exuberance. |
|
The Squid and the Whale
(Samuel Goldwyn Films) |
|
Perhaps the best, complicated and well-rounded performance of Jeff Daniels’ movie career. This film should definitely have Oscar gold written all over it. The Squid and the Whale is an involving and ambitious coming-of-age tale. |
|
Walk the Line
(20th Century Fox) |
|
The year of 2005 has been a joyous time for reflective biopics and Walk The Line will thoughtfully contribute to this progressive genre that dares to invade the moviegoer’s imagination. Hopefully Phoenix and Witherspoon will nab well-deserved Oscar nominations for the “Man in Black” and his number one singing partner-in-love. |
|
Wallace & Gromit: The curse of
the Were-Rabbit |
|
Clearly W&G are the best, conceived family fare of the year. Thoroughly spunky and creative, Nick Park has his A-game in gear with this wondrous offering of snappy animation. |
