There were many more PG-13....Ring II, Boogeyman, Cursed, Cry_Wolf, Dark Waters, The Exorcism of Emily Rose, The Skeleton Key, etc.

I'm not saying PG-13 is necessarily a bad thing, except when they are editted down just to get that rating to "increase their appeal".  

There was an interesting article in Entertainment Weekly about the bait and switch tactics of Hollywood these days.  Most people know that if horror and comedies are released with PG-13 ratings, that inevitably there will be the unrated DVD release.  Why see these water downed versions in theaters?I wouldn't say it was to increase their appeal - it is simply so they can make more money out of it....

Herbie was one of the worst movies in 2005 (in my opinion, it was the worst). The poster art was horrible too.

Herbie was really about what I expected from it.  It's hard to slam a movie that pretty much delivers what it promises.  There were many worse movies last year, mostly the horribly edited to get PG-13 ratings horror movies.  I was glad for once to see actual R-rated comedies.  If we could get back to R-rated horror movies.

Oh yeah, forgot about Herbie, it's too bad, I liked that movie and the poster art was good but errr they had to go with that ugly art! And Yes House of Wax cover is soo awesume

Okay, I have mine and if it helps www.ropeofsilicon.com in the DVD calendar just go back to january 05 and you can see all the art over the year. But here's my picks:

BEST COVER ART:
The Notebook
House of Wax
Cinderella Man

WORST COVER ART:
Bad News Bears
The Exorcism of Emily Rose (unrated)
