THE BEST TEN FILMS OF 2005 Send This Review to a Friend
The number one spot for films released in 2005 goes to “Brokeback Mountain,” a sensitive, exquisitely filmed and acted drama about two cowboys in love but kept apart because of convention. Directed by Ang Lee and starring Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, “Brokeback Mountain” speaks universally about the sadness of unfulfilled lives with a depth that goes beyond specific sexuality.
