2005 in film is an overview of events, including the highest-grossing films, award ceremonies, festivals, a list of country-specific lists of films released, notable deaths and film debuts. Evaluation of the year Renowned American film critic and professor Emanuel Levy stated on his website, "Despite films like “Crash,” which deals with racism in contemporary America, and geopolitical exposes like ''Syriana'' and ''Munich'', the 2005 movie year may go down in film history as the year of sexual diversity." He went on to emphasize, "It's hard to recall a year in which sex, sexuality, and gender have featured so prominently in American films, both mainstream Hollywood and independent cinema. I am deliberately using the concepts of sexual diversity and sexual orientation, rather than gay-themed movies, because the rather new phenomenon goes beyond homosexuality or lesbianism. For decades, American culture has been both puritanical and hypocritical as far as sexual matters are co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The childlike Pee-wee Herman character developed as a stage act that quickly led to an HBO special in 1981.

This paved the way for '' Pee-wee's Playhouse'', an Emmy Award-winning children's series that ran on CBS from 1986 to 1991. Another film, '' Big Top Pee-wee'', was released in 1988, and after a lengthy hiatus, a third film, '' Pee-wee's Big Holiday'', was released by Netflix in 2016.
