Films for 2005

TOP 10 MOVIES FOR 2005

We've seen a lot of great films this year - and one or two not so great. Here's Tiscali's pick of the crop, in strictly alphabetical order:
 

BATMAN BEGINS

British director Chris Nolan firmly erased any memories of Arnie as Mr Freeze and put the caped one back at the top of the superhero tree.
 

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

Ang Lee's sensitive portrayal of love between two cattle herders has been unanimously praised as one of the films of the year.
 

CAPOTE

This year's most memorable biopic looks at the life of one of America's most controversial authors.
 

CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY

Tim Burton worked his magic once again in one of the year's most popular offerings.
 

GOOD NIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK

George Clooney's second directorial outing looks at the extraordinary attempts to discredit Senator McCarthy in the 1950s.
 

HIDDEN

Austrian director Michael Haneke provided one of the most explosive films of the year.
 

KISS KISS BANG BANG

Two unexpectedly good turns from Val Kilmer and Robert Downey Jr coupled with a cracking script made this arguably the comedy of the year.
 

MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS

Old-fashioned it may be, but Bob Hoskins' production richly deserves its Golden Globe nominations.
 

OLIVER TWIST

Roman Polanski made a version of Dickens' classic to rank alongside David Lean's 1948 classic.
 

SIN CITY

Robert Rodriguez' film was brutal and violent but also spectacular and beautiful.
 

CHRISTMAS TURKEYS

Honorable mentions go to Mad Hot Ballroom, Broken Flowers and Kingdom of Heaven, while this year's turkeys were the lamentable Skeleton Key, the yucky Family Stone and the over-sentimental Elizabethtown.
