Of the films I've seen from 1976, I'm happy enough for Rocky to have won.
Really?? Which films of the four haven't you seen? "Taxi Driver" is one of the greatest films of the 70s. "All The Presidents Men" and "Network" are classic movies. It's a good comparison by Lemmy. Feel good does not equate to classic. See also: Chicago (beating The Hours, The Pianist, Gangs of New York, LOTR: TT) |

Which of the nominees do you think are better films this time? I agree that Slumdog is not great, but of the others I only prefer Milk. The Reader and Button both have huge flaws and Frost/Nixon is mainly interesting for the interviews, which can just be watched directly. |

Yes I am going to watch and I will probably hate myself in the morning. Prediction: upset win for Frost/Nixon.

Very nice GoodFellas one.
Thanks, Salopian. Same for your Lakeview Terrace one.
V&V.
PS. I guess I should have provided notes for The Third Man, which follows Harry Lime's longtime friend Holly as he tries to solve the mystery of Lime's death, and for White Dog, which is about a dog that is trained to attack black people. Probably too late now, though.
