Continuing with my look at the best movies of years gone by.
Top 10 Movies of 2005:
- Batman Begins - Christina Bale, Michael Caine
- Munich - Eric Bana, Daniel Craig
- The 40 Year Old Virgin - Steve Carell, Catherine Keener
- Wedding Crashers - Owen Wilson, Vince Vaughn
- Syriana - George Clooney, Matt Damon
- Crash - Don Cheadle, Sandra Bullock
- A History of Violence - Viggo Mortenson, Maria Bello
- Cinderella Man - Russell Crowe, Rene Zellweger
- Walk the Line - Joaquin Phoenix, Reese Witherspoon
- Jarhead - Jake Gyllenhaal, Jamie Foxx
Christopher Nolan did a wonderful job of
rejuvenating the Batman franchise. Christian Bale was also a wonderful pick as
Batman. Stephen Spielberg hit another
homerun with "Munich", it's a fascinating
story. Thank you
Judd Apatow for bringing back the R-rated comedy, "The 40 Year Old Virgin" goes down in my book as one of the
funniest movies ever. "Wedding Crashers" is
not far back either, Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson are a great combo. I'm fascinated by stories of the middle east, oil, corruption, money and the CIA, "
Syriana" does a great job on all fronts. Paul Haggis does a great job of interlocking 4 stories about race, class and power in Los Angeles with "
Crash", it's an incredibly
thought provoking movie. David Cronenberg does a great job of looking at violence, vengeance and survival of the fittest in "
A History of Violence". I'm a sucker for a good boxing movie and "
Cinderella Man" is just that as it tackles underdog story of boxer James J. Braddock. Joaquin Phoenix's performance as Johnny Cash is reason enough to see "
Walk the Line". "
Jarhead" is a very underrated look at the life of a U.S. marine during the Gulf War, Jake Gyllenhaal really transformed himself in this one.
