4. Hustle and Flow
5. Me and You and Everyone We Know
6. Junebug
7. Match Point
8. The World

Worst Ten Movies of 2005 whether I saw them or not:

4. Munich
5. Memoirs of a Geisha
6. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
7. Syriana

10. Bewitched
Ten Movies of 2005 which were just OK
1. War of the Worlds
2. Kingdom of Heaven
3. Star Wars (Episode 3)
4. In Her Shoes
5. Batman Begins
6. The Upside of Anger
7. Madagascar
8. Shopgirl

10. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
All in all, 2005 was not a good year for movies and the shrinking box-office mirrored the drop in quality.
UPDATE: Saw A History of Violence today and it sucked. Sorry for putting it on the second list. I'll try to update (with a viewing) the ones I didn't see, as soon as I can.
