2004, but I don't do the movies, so 2005 DVD:
This movie was fucking intense. Ganz playing Hitler losing his rag is a sight to behold. (subtitles)

How are you gonna knock Batman and Sin City then recommend a Pauly shore flick?Wait! I think this was released in Canada this year:
Regardless, it was a genuinely funny movie. I recommend it, particularly to those of you who, like me, absolutely loathe Shore's entire catalogue. Sweet cameos, too.

As per request:
I don't really have very many favorite movies of the year. Keep in mind, with a baby, I just don't get out much and so most of what I've seen have tended to be big (and disappointing) blockbusters or whatever shit got bootlegged and put online so I can download. That cuts out MANY smaller films that I"m excited to see but haven't been able to.
There were a lot of films I liked but wouldn't necessarily consider "great" films:
Mr. and Mrs. Smith (very dumb. Very fun).
Wedding Crashers (needed better editing but Vince Vaughn was great)
40 Year Old Virgin (a smarter juvenile film that you'd expect)
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (again, needed better editing but better than the last two films in the series)
Films I wanted to see but haven't:
Syriana
The Squid and the Whale
Good Night and Good Luck
Capote
Disappointing films but I wouldn't call them "the worst" I saw:
History of Violence (it was ok but I was far, far from blown away by it. Co-sign of Bello's hotness though-I liked her since "ER")
Sin City (despite indications otherwise)
March of the Penguins (beautiful but for whatever reason, I just lost interest halfway through)
War of the Worlds (the first 30 minutes were kind of amazing but then it went way downhill from there)
Batman Begins (first half was good, bottom half was ludicrous)
Constantine (I went in with low expectations. It met them. I like Catholic mythology though)
Hitchhiker's Guide (the book was better)

This is bullshit. You diss Sin City but have some REALLY weak picks for best flicks?! the fuck? Your opinions on film have just been rendered worthless.
i have to agree oliver, your film tastes are pretty wack, mr and ms smith over batman or sin city

What's worse is that he had to qualify each flick as if we were missing something when we saw these peices of shit in the theatre.
Criticism for the sake of criticism is
Ha ha, go back and re-read ass clowns. I didn't say these were "best" or even "great" films. I said they were films I LIKED.
And yeah, I liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith more than Sin City or Batman.
Deal with it.

By the way,
If anyone of you want to come babysit for me for a day, I'll go out and watch some of the films that would likely be undisputedly better than anything I already mentioned but - like I said - I haven't been able to see yet, i.e. "Syriana," "King Kong," "Capote," etc.

i hate to join the hatin on odub club but man o man??
you teach a class on film and this is the best stuff you saw all year???
what kind of stuff do you guys talk about in this class?
Animal House and its impact on post structuralist narratives i nthe modern cinema??
i need to reiterate
this is wrong on SO many levels.. one it implies that you saw the others. two it implies dissipointment with the series meaning you must have read and "enjoyed" the books.
so so wrong
Wow, you're the only strutter with kids! Even so, somehow the FEW movies that you managed to see AND choose as favorites were all pretty much crap.
So what you like Mr and Mrs Smith more than insert movie name here, the point is that you have horrible tastes in movies and people should ignore what you say about them, so I'll be the first... starting..... NOW.
