The Year in Movies (2005) - **** Ratings

[Adam J. Hakari]

Howdy, all. Like I did last year, I'm creating this thread as sort of a companion piece to the Month in Movies posts, as a means of helping the schmoes keep track of what they see throughout the year by the ratings they give out. I hope some of the schmoes out there participate and decide to use this thread as a list of their viewings for 2005.

I don't understand the concept of putting some of these movies in the 2005 arena. By the rational supplied here, If I saw Gone with the Wind for the first time this year, it would be a 2005 movie?

Weird yet wild.

This is a thread to keep track of ALL the **** stars films you saw in the year 2005, but they don't necessarily have to be 2005 movies. If you gave GWTW a perfect rating and saw it for the first time thie year, that does not make it a 2005 movie, but a film you watched this year and gave a **** score to.
