Firefly

You know what, I’m going to go on record and say I think its been a pretty good year for movies. OK, so there were the token duds, but there were a slew of goodies this year too. George Lucas finally came through with the goods (rather belatedly) with the third and final "Star Wars", The Caped Crusader helped us forget about his last bout with Mr Freeze, the crew of Joss Whedon’s failed TV show found a new lease of life at multiplexes, and Val Kilmer made us laugh - and not for the usual reasons. Here’s my fave film experiences of the year 2005 - excluding the footage of Russell Crowe being arrested on the New York street for throwing a phone.

Clint’s Top Ten of 2005

1. Batman Begins

 Just when I thought it wouldn’t get any better than Alicia Silverstone in a nippled-rubber batsuit.

2. Serenity

 Joss Whedon gave George Lucas a run for his money this year. Buy the DVD, You get a sequel.

3. In Good Company

 Dennis Quaid proves, yet again, that he’s one of the best actors of his generation.

4. Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith

 George Lucas turfed the ’Instant Movie Maker’ programme for Apple for this superb last chapter.

5. In Her Shoes

 Toni and Cameron played a part in Kleenex’s shares rising.

6. Sin City

 Even finer looking than Jessica Biel emerging from a hot tub.

7. Mr and Mrs Smith

 Sometimes it’s good to presume the worst.

8. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

 Welcome back Downey Jr, nice one Kilmer, long time no see Mr Black!

9. Shopgirl

 Steve Martin in touching romantic dramedy shocker!

10. Elizabethtown

 A love letter from Cameron Crowe to his fans.
