Critics' Top 10 2005

The most critically acclaimed movies of 2005 as defined by the number of times a movie has appeared on a critic’s top ten list. Ordered by the highest number of top ten lists that the movie appears on. If there was a tie between any films, I listed them in order of their percentage on rottentomatoes, rather than alphabetically.
