I really like that movie. But it's probably not awards-worthy. 2004/5 wasn't great in terms of film - Brokeback Mountain is terrifically overrated.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was shafted, though. From that year I also loved The Ladykillers, Mean Girls, Kill Bill 2, Shaun of the Dead, Sin City... mostly comedies/actions that get overlooked.

You had me looking through the films of 2005 there. Didn't go back to 2004 but some of my favourites from '05 would have been Grizzly Man, A History of Violence, Serenity, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I have a soft spot for The New World.
