For me, it's helpful because I can tell who has tastes similar to mine and can check out movies on those people's lists that I may have missed.

Well, I've seen 41 according-to-Hoyle (i.e. Oscar Year) 2005 movies, and with a lot of 'em, I was more impressed with individual performances than with the films as a whole. Nonetheless...
1. Jarhead
2. Capote
3. Munich
4. The 40 Year Old Virgin
5. Lord of War
6. A History of Violence
7. Last Days
8. Millions
9. Broken Flowers
10. Sin City
The Worst...
1. Saw 2
2. Flightplan
3. The Amityville Horror
4. The Great Raid
5. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Haven't seen Brokeback Mountain, The New World, Fun With Dick and Jane, and a few others yet, but only probably The New World would have any impact on my list.
cheers,

I gained a lot of respect for Ebert when he had the stones to put Spiderman 2 on his list last year. A lot of critics gave him crap, but I thought the movie was deserving of the spot. Regretfully, I haven't seen any of the movies on his list this year, but I do plan on seeing King Kong before the new years.

My Top 10 of 2005
1. Batman Begins
2. The Island (hey I really enjoyed this in the theater)
3. SW Ep 3
4. Serenity
That's about it, the other movies I saw, Hitchhiker, Saw II, and Fantasic 4 were not too hot.
(it was a good year for Sci-Fi/ Fantasy)
