A buddy asked about my top five movies of the year. He’d just seen Narnia and wanted to know where I would put that on my list of movies for 2005. Then the discussion quickly turned into favorite movies of each year for as far back as we could go.
2005 Top 5 Movies
Batman Begins
Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Sin City
Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe
Star Wars Episode 3: The Revenge of the Sith
2005 – Batman Begins
2004 – The Incredibles
2003 – The Return of the King
2002 – Spiderman
2001 – The Fellowship of the Ring
2000 – Gladiator
1999 – The Matrix
1998 – Saving Private Ryan
1997 – The Fifth Element (I would pick Star Wars Special Edition but I was vetoed)
1996 – The Rock
1995 – Toy Story
1994 – Pulp Fiction
1993 – Jurassic Park
1992 – A League of Their Own
1991 – Star Trek IV: The Undiscovered Country
1990 – Goodfellas
1989 – Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
1988 – Who Framed Roger Rabbit
1987 – The Untouchables
1986 – Aliens
1985 – Back to the Future
1984 – Ghostbusters
1983 – The Return of the Jedi
1982 – E.T.
1981 – Raiders of the Lost Ark
1980 – The Empire Strikes Back
1979 – The Muppet Movie
1978 – Superman The Movie
1977 – Star Wars
1976 – Rocky
The list stops when I was born before that doesn’t count. My list does tell me a few things about my taste in movies. I like SciFi much more than I thought I did. Lucas and Spielberg dominate my list a bit, although Lucas is in the early years and as a producer mainly.
Some years are so tough and other years my favorite movie wouldn’t make my top 100 list. Like 1989, there are five or six movies I just love and then in 1976 or 1990, just blah. Maybe I don’t like the Prequels as much as I tell my SW disenfranchised friends. I would never think about putting a different movie ahead of Star Wars, Empire, or Jedi yet none of the prequels are even close.

5th element was better than ep1 anyway
5th Element was definitely better than Episode 1 and the fact that the new King Kong doesn't appear in the best of 2005 MUST mean you didn't see it yet.
That would be correct, no Kong for Trevor...yet.
That is Fifth Element vs. Star Wars A New Hope Special Edition, not Episode 1. Much like the first three Star Wars movies I like Fifth Element more and more as time goes on. Han shooting first, Han shooting at the same time, Han never shooting, Star Wars still beats Fifth Element.
