Best-Selling DVDs & Blu-rays of 2005
The top 100 on Amazon UK that year.
A definitive look back at the 2005 Amazon UK chart. Click any cover to find it on Amazon.
Revenge of the Sith closed the Star Wars saga at number one, but the year's oddest headline fact sits right behind it: The Ashes box set, a cricket review, charted at two. That documentary-and-event streak runs through the list, alongside Madagascar, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and War of the Worlds. The pattern is British live comedy going mainstream, with Little Britain appearing four times plus Peter Kay, Lee Evans, Billy Connolly and Extras. The surprises are the highbrow detours: House of Flying Daggers and Ladies in Lavender among the blockbusters. A year when a cricket series and stand-up DVDs proved as bankable as any franchise.
