I saw 37 films last year, and I had hopes of raising that number for 2005. Unfortunately, I topped out at 29.
Contributing to the dismal count is the fact that I missed several must-see films this year - don't ask me why. Also adding to this is the fact that CineManila this year didn't seem as well-organized as in previous years. Adding to the count, but not quite making up for the fact that I missed several good films, I caught a few films that by certain standards, were safe to skip - again, don't ask me why.
In any case, here's my 2005 roster. Like before, I'm only including films I saw for the first time this year.
01. Ocean's Twelve -- Steven Soderbergh
02. Gong Fu (Kung Fu Hustle) -- Stephen Chow
03. Blade Trinity -- David S. Goyer
04. Meet the Fokkers -- Jay Roach
05. Un long dimanche de fiançailles (A Very Long Engagement) -- Jean-Pierre Jeunet
06. Sideways -- Alexander Payne
07. Garden State -- Zach Braff
08. Closer -- Mike Nichols
09. Daddy Day Care -- Steve Carr
10. Miss Congeniality 2: Armed and Fabulous -- John Pasquin
11. Snow Dogs -- Brian Levant
12. Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith -- George Lucas
13. Identity -- James Mangold
14. A Lot Like Love -- Nigel Cole
15. Mr. & Mrs. Smith -- Doug Liman
16. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- Garth Jennings
17. Batman Begins -- Christopher Nolan
18. Fantastic Four -- Tim Story
19. Metropolis -- Fritz Lang (live score by Rubber Inc)
20. Bewitched -- Nora Ephron
21. Manderlay -- Lars Von Trier
22. Brothers Grimm -- Terry Gilliam
23. Transporter 2 -- Louis Leterrier
