'King Kong,' 'Munich' Among AFI Top Picks

"Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson's "King Kong" remake and Steven Spielberg's dramatic thriller "Munich" were two of the top 10 films of 2005 named by the American Film Institute Sunday.

"Munich" centers on the aftermath of the killings of 11 Israeli athletes at the 1972 Olympics. Other picks include "Syriana," "Brokeback Mountain," "Capote," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "King Kong," "Crash," "Good Night, and Good Luck," "The Squid and the Whale" and "A History of Violence."

Unlike other top 10 lists, AFI's films are not ranked.

The institute also named its 10 best television programs, which included "24," "Battlestar Galactica," "Deadwood," "Grey's Anatomy," "House," "Rescue Me," "Sleeper Cell," "Sometimes in April" and "Lost."

The AFI Awards honor film and television creative ensembles as a whole, both in front of and behind the camera.

A luncheon recognizing the honorees will be held Jan. 13.
