EWB Movie of the Year! Vote now!

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

So then, after the success of '03 and '04 it's time to head into looking at YOUR favourite films of 2005 and voting for them!

As usual, first place gets 3 points, 2-5 get 2 points and 6-10 get 1 point so choose wisely!

The year was a strange mix for films with some great flicks and also a load of uninspiring spin-offs, rip-offs and awful sequels.

Anyway, let's get started, in the following categories:

FILM OF THE YEAR: (last year: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind)

PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR: (new category)

WORST / MOST DISAPPOINTING FILM: (last year: Alien vs Predator, Shrek 2, Butterfly Effect, Club Dread and Mr. 300 all tied)

NEXT YEAR'S MOST WANTED: (last year: Star Wars Episode 3)

THIS YEAR'S BEST DVD PACKAGE: (last year: LOTR: ROTK Extended)
