Note on the Lists: These are films that I saw over the calendar year of 2005 that were originally released in 2005. I do not include any other films. Movies I might see in 2006 which had a 2005 release date are ineligible for my purposes. Also, as an aside, this year was particularly difficult in choosing the films for these lists.
