Top 10:
10. "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada"
9. "Crash"
8. "Sin City"
7. "The Aristocrats"
6. "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"
5. "Brokeback Mountain"
4. "March of the Penguins"
3. "Good Night, and Good Luck"
2. "King Kong"
1. "A History of Violence"

Bottom 10:
10. "Shopgirl"
9. "Mindhunters"
8. "Man of the House"
7. "Fantastic Four"
6. "Palindromes"
5. "The Dukes of Hazzard"
4. "The Bridge of San Luis Rey"
3. "Be Cool"
2. "Diary of a Mad Black Woman"
1. "Elizabethtown"


How they left "The Honeymooners" off the bottom 10 list is beyond me. As boring as Elizabethtown was, it can't be worse then that POS (which I didn't see).

I can't comment otherwise because I've only seen 2 of the top 10 (Sin City and Harry Potter). I thought both were over-rated though. I love guy movies, but I thought Sin City was too over the top with the violence.

[Sam18]

What a bullsh*t list. Sin City was a POS of a movie. It was probably the most pointless movie of the year.
The fact that ROTS and Batman Begins isn't on the list of best movies is all you need to know. I bet Mike Lupica made this list.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Sin City should be higher. King Kong was garbage.


Worst movie of the year, FAR AND AWAY, is Duece Bigalow: European Gigalo. Its not even close

[Irabu's Son]

How is it possible that I've heard of more movie in the bottom 10 than top 10?

Just like how Casablanca is supposed to be the greatest movie of all-time. Whatever.

[Sam18]

Sin City should be higher. King Kong was garbage.

What? You liked Sin City?

[RhodeyYankee2638]

What? You liked Sin City?

It was awesome, i've never seen anything like it. It certainly wasn't for everyone. Whereas a movie like King Kong, i've certainly seen before. Twice actually, since its the 3rd remake

I haven't seen King Kong. But I had high expectations for Sin City and all throughout the movie I was trying to figure out the point of the movie. And then at the end there was no point. I hated it.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Just like how Casablanca is supposed to be the greatest movie of all-time. Whatever.

I've never seen a list with Casablanca at the top, its always Citizen Kane

[Kulish29]

How is 40 Year Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers not on the top ten?

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Actually, I know it didn't come out yet, but Munich looks as if its going to be outstanding.

[I Love Wang]

Cinderella Man should be in the top 10.

[JDPNYY]

Cinderella Man should be in the top 10.

Top 5 at least.

[Kulish29]

Worst movie of the year, FAR AND AWAY, is Duece Bigalow: European Gigalo. Its not even close

I paid money to see it.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

Ok, my school sends me to see a lot of movies cause I do movie reviews for the paper. I'll give you my top and bottom 5

Worst
5) Get Rich or Die Tryin
4) Alone in the Dark
3) Dukes of Hazzard
2) The Honeymooners
1) Deuce Bigalow 2

Best
5) Good Night and Good Luck
4) Cinderella Man
3) A History of Violence
2) WEDDING CRASHERS
1) Crash

[SuperMario66]

I like your list better.

[Irabu's Son]

I've never seen a list with Casablanca at the top, its always Citizen Kane

You're right. I couldn't sit through either of them though.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

You're right. I couldn't sit through either of them though.

I had to watch Gone with the Wind for a film class. It is just a shade under 4 hours, and it wasn't my cup of tea either. It was painful

Amen brotha. Perhaps we're charter members of today's ADHD society. I don't care. Give me a box of Sour Patch Kids and a Dawn of the Dead DVD and I'll be like a pig in shhht.

Batman Begins, sure.

Sith was only good by comparing it to the last 2 crapfests

[RhodyYanksFan]

I've never seen a list with Casablanca at the top, its always Citizen Kane

I fell asleep watching both. I think my late 20th century mind isn't trained for movies like that (made before 1960) becasue they always put me to sleep no matter how "good" they are.

I was really disappointed with Sin City. It could have been awesome, but it was just an excuse for 2 hours of graphic violence. If the stories linked together in any way, like Pulp Fiction did it would be great, but it was just 3 stories with the only connection being the city. Hell, even if Alba got naked (like strippers are supposed to) it'd be in the top 10.

[yankeeschic12324]

This list sucks....

[Mark19]

they really loved History of Violence?

the movie was inconsistent and lacked a proper ending

sheesh

[penfold]

How could Stealth NOT be in the bottom 10?
I saw it for free and I gave up too much!

(Good Night, And Good Luck was (so far) the best movie I've seen all year, btw)

[Saxmania]

Batman Begins, sure.

Sith was only good by comparing it to the last 2 crapfests

Word.

"Darth Vader: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Be seeing you,

Saxmania

[WashingtonYankee]

Dude, they left Walk the Line off..... errr, this movie critic sucks. I'll also have to say Sin City wasn't for everyone, but my good friend loves that movie.. dude, he probably saw it like 10 times in the theater alone.

[NYDCYankee]

"Must Love Dogs" should be on the worst list.


"Constant Gardner" and "Narnia" should be on the best list.

King Kong has no business being in the top 10, same with Sin City or Good Luck and Good Evening. Crash was good, but also not top 10. As for the bottom 10, I wouldn't put the FAntastic Four in there.

[NYYBombshell]

The Dukes of Hazzard was the biggest pile of cow dung I've never seen.


Whoever told Jessica Simpson she could act should be kicked in the nads.

[NYDCYankee]

Fantastic 4 totally deserves to be there it was awful.

What 3 other movies woould you put in?

[Kulish29]

I'm surprised Syriana didnt make the list.

[RhodeyYankee2638]

I'm surprised Syriana didnt make the list.

It should be on the top 10 worst somewhere, agreed

[penfold]

It should be on the top 10 worst somewhere, agreed

Yeah, I'd put Syriana in the 10 worst.
And War of the Worlds rubbed me the wrong way but that's just me personally.

[YankeePride1967]

What 3 other movies woould you put in?

I"m not saying that I would put these 3 in, but I would over the 3 in there.

1. Cinderella Man
2. 40 Year Old Virgin
3. Chronicles of Narnia

I'd also put Wedding Crashers and Walk the Line above them as well. I'm sure I could think of more.

Good choices. There weren't any really absoltuly outstanding movies this year, but a lot of really good movies

[JfromJersey]

King Kong has no business being in the top 10

King Kong has gotten rave reviews across the board. Why is it so surprising that it made the top 10 list?

not surprised they put it there, I just don't think it belongs there.

[NYDCYankee]

2. 40 Year Old Virgin

Just cause a movie is sort of funny doesn't mean it should be on a best movie list.

[Evil Empire]

I don't agree.

[NYDCYankee]

I don't agree.

Why?

[Evil Empire]

Why?

No, I meant with the list.

[NYDCYankee]

No, I meant with the list.

Oh ok. Yah me neither.

[Carissa]

The three best movies I have seen this year are:
1. Brokeback Mountain
2. Walk the Line
3. March of the Penguins

2 honorable mentions go to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and RENT.

[YankeePride1967]

Just cause a movie is sort of funny doesn't mean it should be on a best movie list.

it's called my opinion. I'm entitled to it. If I liked 40 Year old Virgin more then that is MY right to. Why don't I have a right to think that one movie is better than another?

[allybear]

I'm just glad my favorite movie of the year made the Top 10 (as well it should) - March of the Penguins! Let's hear it for the birds!

[NYDCYankee]

it's called my opinion. I'm entitled to it. If I liked 40 Year old Virgin more then that is MY right to. Why don't I have a right to think that one movie is better than another?

There are plenty of movies that I have enjoyed in my life that don't deserve being on any top ten lists, trust me. And while I may laugh till my ribs break at "Hot Shots Part Deux" it is not a better movie then "The Aviator" which I was bored watching.

"Virgin" was funny, but it lacked about 15 qualities that make up a good or "best" movie.

I understand were you are coming from though. I just think that because I might enjoys a movie over another movie doesn't mean that movie is better than the other movie. That is really all I am saying.

But I am sure someone can make an entirely rational argument that enjoying a movie is really the only thing that matters.

[Snatch Catch]

I thought King Kong was incredible.

[Babe Rules]

How is 40 Year Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers not on the top ten?

I can't understand either.

[NewAmsterdamYankee]

I'm just glad my favorite movie of the year made the Top 10 (as well it should) - March of the Penguins! Let's hear it for the birds!

That movie is finally coming out over here.
Too bad that we won't get the version with the narative of Morgan Freeman.

I think we may have been on two different wave lengths. I was just going from the basis of if I were the one making the list how it would look. It's all subjective anyway. One person's treasure is another person's piece of garbage.
