The Sundance Film Festival has announded their 2005 lineup ... the titles that jump out to me include Lonesome Jim, directed by Steve Buscemi; Thumbsucker, directed by Mike Mills who I'm assuming is the R.E.M. bassist; a new documentary from Werner Herzog; and the Anders Tomas Jensen penned Brothers. Read on for the full list.
