Update (12/26/05) - I was suprised by the number of "Bad" movies I've seen this year, so I thought I'd add categories to the rankings.
Bad (Less than 5 on my scale):
30. A Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
29. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
28. The
27. Fever Pitch
26. Me, You and Everyone We Know
25. March of the Penguins
24. Millions
23. 4 Minutes
22. The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe
OK (5+):
21. Mr. and Mrs. Smith
20.
19. Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room
18. A History of Violence
17. Jarhead
16. Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire
15. Coach Carter
14. Batman Begins
13. Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith
12. Proof
Good (7+):
11. War Of The Worlds - This was a very tense movie.
10. Wedding Crashers - My honorary top 10 comedy
9. King Kong - Move over Jerry Bruckheimer, Peter Jackson is the new king of the action movie.
8. Constant Gardener - A good, if somewhat quiet movie.
7. Cinderella Man - Paul Giamatti and Russle Crowe were both very good.
6. Howl's Moving Castle - As good as Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke.
5. Good Night and Good Luck - Well made and suprisingly timely.
Great (8+):
4. Walk the Line - It's similar to Ray in a lot of ways, but might end up with twice as many best acting Oscars.
3. Capote - Saddest movie I've seen in years. Incredible performace from Phillip Seymore Hoffman.
2. Crash - It's a rare multi-threaded movie where just about everything works.
1. Syriana - Similar to Crash in a lot of ways, but I think it handles it's topic in a slightly more reasonable fashion.
* - I still plan to see - Munich, The Squid and the Whale, Brokeback Mountain, 40 Year Old Virgin, Aristocrats, Broken Flowers.

Coach Carter + Batman Begins > Sin City?? Pu-leeze...
I guess maybe I'm not giving Sin City credit for aiming high (Batman and Coach Carter certainly didn't). Still, most of Sin City was crappy, while Batman and Coach Carter were enjoyable throughout.
