Blake Schwendiman's Blog and Blook

Well, 2005 is over and its movies are now history. But, in the spirit of the New Year, there is always time for reflection. With that in mind, IMDB has opened its polls for the best and worst movies of the year.

I recently checked the results and found that (mostly thanks to encouragement from MuggleNet) that Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is currently topping the best movie list. I don't agree that it was the best movie of the year, but it was in the top few. I was very pleased to see that Batman Begins is at the top of the best action movies category.

Even more satisfying is that more people voted Revenge of the Sith as the worst movie than voted it as the best movie. There is sanity in the world. And, if that isn't good enough, Sith clearly won the worst screenplay category (though it didn't take much to see that one coming).

You may have to register with IMDB to vote, but it's worth the effort to let your voice be heard.

I'll be doing my own list very soon (once I figure out my list), but I'll give one hint: The Chronicles of Narnia is going to be a surprise for you as it was for me.
