I've never tried to do a top ten before and found it painfully difficult not only to reconstruct my moviegoing experience of the past year but to then cull out these two fistfuls. As criteria, I followed Adam Hartzell's cue that the films had to be features released in the past few years, which I was able to see on a screen in my vicinity in 2005. There was no way I could rank them so I offer them here alphabetically and will follow-up in the next few days with detailed reviews.

Duck Season
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
