  1. Hey Dan….once again….thanks for sharing all this information…especially since the website seems to be fighting you getting these comments posted…..thank you.

  2. I have seen only 5 of the Top 30 highest grossing domestic hits in the above tables and overall just 12 of the movies released in 2005 entertained me without reservation, and they are-

    King Kong.
    Flightplan
    Cinderella Man
    Hide and Seek
    The Skeleton Key
    Legend of Zorro
    Good Night and Good luck-my overall favourite in 2005
    Derailed
    Hostage
    In Her Shoes
    A history of Violence
    Lord of War-

    Only 2 of those are in the Top 30 commercial hits – King Kong and Flightplan and the overall Cogerson review average for those 12 movies I liked the best is 64.4%. My personal viewing figures would suggest that by 2005 I was becoming disenchanted by and large with the prevailing modern mainstream films.

    As for movie actors only Willis, Denzel, Morg, Sir Maurice and Julia Roberts consistently entertain me in the old way. The final paragraph of Steve’s post to me today on Harrison Ford’s page [which I reproduce below] suggests that ole Indi/Hans himself seems to agree with me about there being something lacking in many very modern films. Harrison’s reported thoughts on the subject echo my own uncannily. Of course academically I still retain a historical interest in every movie decade and its marketplace and I value all of the annual reviews that you have comprehensively provided for us.

    “[Harrison] Ford on the current state of cinema – “I think American films right now are suffering from an excess of scale. Lots of movies we’re seeing now are more akin to video games than stories about human life and relationships. Twelve- to 20-year-olds are maybe the largest economic force in the US movie business. I’m not a very nostalgic person – but I enjoy a good story.” ”[Bob smiles and nods says Steve]”

    1. Hey Bob….thanks for sharing your movie thoughts on this 2005 movie yearly page. 64.4% is not too bad for your favorites. I have seen all of your favorites. King Kong scared SoC3 so bad (the spider pit scene) that WoC and him spent most of the movie on the lobby. Today he is a big bad Marine…lol. Hostage is not a bad Bruce movie….but Ben Foster stole that movie from Bruce. Good thoughts on Harrison about movies today. Good stuff as always.

  3. Hey Dan… I found this comment in the “pending folder”….so I approved it and put your name on it.

    1. Hey Dan….thanks as always for sharing this information. As usually you destroy my totals in all categories. My grand total of movies seen is 131…..a good total….but small when compared to your massive totals. My memory….I saw 14 of these movies in theaters….a scant 81 movies behind you….lol. We saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on a massive IMAX screen opening night…..despite the big screen….everybody that saw the movie was so underwhelmed. Good trivia as always.
