There is not a single great movie in your 2005 list. In fact Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

As for the 1980s, this was indeed a much better decade than the current one. The 70s were even better, much better than the 40s.

> is it really surprising that there were a handful of good movies among them?

Not good movies, great movies.
