Commentary:  Doesn’t look like the greatest best-of list.  I’ll have to re-watch Sin City to see why I chose that as best picture of 2005.  A Harry Potter movie was actually a runner-up that year?  These are interesting to look back on.  High Tension would definitely be on the best list; I was initially let down by the twist.  I actually like Return of the Living Dead 4 now.  These lists appear to be phases sometimes.  1/29/2017
