I'm with Iran, let's ban Kenny G...also on the "Should be banned" list are: Michael Bolton, Celine Dion, Mooriah Carey, Hilary Duff, Shakira.
Of that list of top films in 2005, I think I saw maybe 3 or 4. (Crash, Constant Gardener, King Kong, Mysterious Skin). Bloody NZ..takes forever for the good films to be screened here *grumble grumble*
