Once Narnia comes out, it will set the standard in what a good film of the year is, just like Lord of the Rings did.
Although i think Narnia will be a good movie, i doubt it wil live up to the LOTR trilogy.

Maybe, but I think that says more about the expectations being placed on the film than the film itself. People shouldn't expect it to be The Lord of the Rings Lite.



I got for good luck my black tooth.
1. Jarhead
2. Good Night, and Good Luck
3. War of the Worlds
4. Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
5. Broken Flowers or Batman Begins

So far, I haven't exactly seen the greatest crop of films this year. Sin City is still the absolute best IMO, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang & Capote when I get the chance.



To the best of my memory...

Serenity
Batman Begins
Shopgirl
Sin City
Cinderella Man
Star Wars III
War of the Worlds
Kingdom of Heaven
History of Violence
Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Last week, I saw this incredible movie at this screening. Match Point. The new Woody Allen film. OMG!!! It was so intense. Kind of like a more modern, sexier fatal attraction type deal. I mean, Scarlett Johansson, who usually, I'm not a big fan of, was like totally on it. And it had the sexiest man alive in it, Matthew Goode. But yeah, I liked it. I'll probably see it again when it comes out wide. Think that's like January. Anywayz, as for the film. I didn't think Woody Allen could ever pull of something so sexy and provocative. I couldn't stand him before but now, I'm won over.

And with Harry Potter 4, Underworld 2 and King Kong still to come, this could turn out to be a record breaking year for the box office coffers and my attendance to the local theatre.
I think by "Best so far this year" people mean movies that are actual films and not just popcorn movie explosions-gross-out-special-effects-blockbuster crap. But, your opinion, so whatever.

Mine have to be:

Capote (This was ****ing genius, and it was ignored)
A History of Violence
The Squid and the Whale
Walk The Line (surprisingly good)

And I haven't seen Syriana yet, but I've heard great things.

I haven't seen Capote, Good Night and Good Luck, Squid and the Whale or Mad Hot Ballroom but I suspect they'd be on my list if I had.

Now that I've seen Walk the Line, it's definitely on the list.



offly i havn't been going to the movies as much as 2004. I dunno, havn't seen anything worth watching. I'm thinking of seeing king kong though!



The True Meaning Of Christmas
Harry Potter And the Goblet Of Fire

I just saw Narnia and it has now become the best.



I haven't seen too many new movies that I totally loved this year, but I'm sure I'll catch up eventually (I always do). A few highlights were Werner Herzog's documentary Grizzly Man, Hal Hartley's clever sci fi picture The Girl From Monday and Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-d (yeah, Sin City was good too).

One 2005 flick I'd like to see very much (there are many) is Wild Blue Yonder.



Narnia, The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, The Notebook(I Think That was from 2004)
