I`m not a big fan of Top Ten Lists, as you don`t get to know all new films the person who constructed them has seen in the particular year. In effect you don`t know how to cope with some lists. Let`s say one person has seen 50, while the other has seen 100. The films both have seen maybe add to 30, so their Top Tens will be very different. 
So I`ve decided to take a new approach this year.

I've listed all films I've seen 2005 that came to the cinema, or were introduced on TV or on festivals in order of preference and with my initial rating. 
German cinema releases have also their position in brackets.
Favorites are in bold.
Recommended films are worth seeing.
Films that get an honorable mention have something that`s worth a second look.
