    "Hard Candy" and I'm not sure it's really that close. What a creepy-ass, then scary-ass movie.

    "Lonesome Jim" was terrific, too, but I think that both were officially '05 releases - just so hard to catch indies in their theatrical release.

    I voted for "Little Miss Sunshine," but I haven't seen many movies this year and haven't seen Borat. "The Departed" runs a close second, but the more I think about that last shot in the movie, the more it bugs the shit out of me.

    Hard Candy was incredible. Unfortunately, I don't think enough people saw it...

    And only five actors listed in the credits - and really only two. The two main people, the coffee shop clerk at the beginning, the neighbor who stops by and the guy's former girlfriend at the end.

    I thought I was renting "The Woodsman" and really I rented "Misery."

    Well put.

    Hard Candy would be in my top 5, too.

    I didn't vote, because the only one on the list I've seen is United 93.

    But in memory of Jack Palance: Year ain't over yet.

    I wanted Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" a couple of weeks ago on Encore. None of the crap out there now is that good. ;D

    I have quit going to the movies due to my fear of communicable disease.

    But the best thing I have seen this year is "Overnight," the 2003 documentary on the guy behind the just-missed-phenomenon movie "Boondock Saints."

    Wow. There are 10 movies on that list that I wanted or want to see and I've seen one. Netflix has made me lazy.

    The Departed? Not surprised. I am surprised so many people saw so much in it, though.
