Ranu's Best Movies of 2005

3 Must-see Hollywood movies from 2005:

  1. Munich: I had no expectations of this movie beforehand and damn did it kick-ass. This is the best thriller ever. I hope Spielberg does more of these kind of movies. There are at least a dozen “edge-of-your seat” scenes in this movie.
  2. King Kong: Please don’t wait to watch it when it’s out on DVD. Watch it in the theatre. WOW!
  3. Crash: Really makes you think about the complexities involved with racism, prejudices, and stereotypes. One of those “different lives intertwining” movies.

Red Eye was also pretty good. I felt Wedding Crashers and 40-year-old Virgin were over-rated. I didn’t find them all that funny. They had their moments, but they were too few. I’m either too demanding of comedies or these sexual comedies are just getting stale now. It’s easy making jokes about sexuality. Road Trip is still my fav. in that category. War of the Worlds SUCKED!

Favorite Hindi Movies of 2005:
Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi: Best movie of ‘05 (haven’t seen Iqbal yet though). That Chitrangada chick looked soo extremely hot. Don’t watch with family.
Viruddh: A.B.
Apaharaan: Could have been much better, especially the last 15 minutes, but great intense drama nonetheless. Nana rocks.
Salaam Namaste: Surprisingly enough I enjoyed this movie. It wasn’t amazing or anything, but surely entertaining. Found it much funnier than most others (No Entry, Garam Masala, etc.).
Black: It was a good movie. I actually wasn’t awed by it though. Found A.B.’s character somewhat annoying. A great performance nonetheless (Viruddh was his best this year). Rani was AMAZING.

Movies from 2005 I still wanna watch:
-A History of Violence
-Hustle ‘n Flow
-Iqbal
-Black Friday (Hindi)
-Bluffmaster

Loved Crash. Dying to see Munich and doubt I could sit through King Kong. Wayyyyy too long. Absolutely loved 40 year old version. My dear sir how could you possibily say it was over-rated (Me hits Ranbir over the head with a frying pan).

Keep starting Black and then stopping after the first ten min. Too heavy for moi.

Wanna see History of Violence too. Bluffmaster wasn't bad. Fairly amusing. Priyanka Chopra isn't that great an actress even though she's drop dead gorgeous, comes out exactly the same in all movies. Abishek was ok in this one. Nana Patekar stole the show. Honestly. he he. Despite the small role. And the music... eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Think of all the DVDs they can sell as well? Of course, you are probably thinking that China generally just copies those DVDs, and sells them anyway. Right now that's true, but if China has control of making their own movies.

I read your blog post about Ranupur. I really enjoyed the blog post about your favorite movies. It was cool to see how some of your favorite movies were different from mine. I also enjoyed reading your list of the best Hindi movies of 2005. It was interesting to see how some Hindi movies were different from the American ones that I prefer. 123 Malayalam Movies
