Maybe this is premature, but I'm making a Best of 2005 Movies/TV thread. I just want to know your opinions now...if you see a better move or TV show before this year's end, then you can edit.
Here are the categories:
1. Best Film
2. Best Continuing TV Show (from before '05, and this includes Family Guy)
3. Best New TV Show
4. Best Overall TV Show
-----------------------
Here are my picks:
1. Best Film: Sin City
Honorable Mention: Serenity
2. Best Continuing TV Show: Veronica Mars
Honorable Mention: Lost
3. Best New TV Show: The Office (US version)
Honorable Mention: Prison Break
4. Best Overall TV Show: Veronica Mars

It's a sci-fi/western/action movie that briefly came out in late September (the DVD is coming out this month). It's the sequel to a short-lived FOX TV show called Firefly that was from the creative mind of Joss Whedon (who also created Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel).
Serenity is not only one of my favs of this year, but it's a great sci-fi movie that easily puts all 3 Star Wars prequels to shame. It has cracked into IMDB Top 250 (ever). The characters of Serenity are funny, unorthodox, and just plain interesting...more in the Han Solo tradition. There is RARELY a dull moment in Serenity (or in Firefly for that matter).

Ok, now that you tell me that I think I have heard of it. I'm so not into Sci-Fi unless it's really well done.

Correction: Serenity is in IMDB's top 50 sci-fi and adventure movie lists not their 250.

I have bad taste in TV shows, sorry.
1. Best Film: Sin City
Honorable Mention: The 40 Year Old Virgin
2. Best Continuing TV Show: One Tree Hill
Honorable Mention: Peep Show (Think it's on BBC America over in the US, but couple of seasons behind the UK)
3. Best New TV Show: Sugar Rush
Honorable Mention: Run Of The House (Not shown in the UK until 2005)
4. Best Overall TV Show: Charmed
Honorable Mention: Without A Trace
Just because it's been mentioned already, I really liked Serenity. T'was a really sophisticated first effort from Joss Whedon, as both director and writer, and I'm hoping that enough people actually go see the film so Universal can make good on their promise and give the go ahead for at least one more sequel to be made.
To me, Whedon here proves that there is in fact a way to make an excellent sci-fi movie without an enormous budget. It's called using character-driven storylines and a really spunkyfied dialogue.

1. Best Film: Sin City Honorable Mention: Million Dollar Baby Million Dollar Baby was 2004. Well then it would appear the only movie from /05 I've seen is Sin City but I did see about an hour of Team America so I guess by default that is #2 |
