In the tradition started by Seth Paxton and expanded upon by Jason Whyte, here's the thread where we can all reflect upon the year in cinema that was 2005.

I don't want to get carried away with rules, but here are a few basics:

- Placeholders are welcome, but once you do post a list, make sure it's a complete top 10.
- It is recommended that you have seen a good amount of the year's films (at least 25 or so) before posting a top 10.
- To avoid confusion, only include films that were first released during the year 2005 (meaning no crossovers from 2004 like Million Dollar Baby).

Have fun!
