Re: Oscar's Best Picture 2024
For the record, I have heard of all 10 films on ScarletLion's list, and I am the epitome of the average film fan - just ask Minio! ;)
I have only seen 6 of them, but I have heard of the other 4. *Shrugs* Anyway, I think this was an above average year for BP noms. Not that the average has been great, especially over the past few years, but at least half of the noms were strong this year. To be fair, I still have a few to see... |

2001 is great. Citizen Kane is a tad bit overrated. I've never seen any of the other films in that list.
I guess I'm not that sophisticated :bashful: |

Re: Oscar's Best Picture 2024
Anyway, apologies for taking this thread off track. The best picture nominees included some brilliant films (Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall etc) but in my opinion Oppenheimer isn't partucularly good (Tom Conte as Einstein - pleeeeaaaseee) and The Holdovers is a fairly nice, middle of the road feelgood Christmas film but will be nowhere near spoken aboiut as one of the great films of this time period.

Your list includes movies that I've never heard of, and that very few people have seen or heard of too.
You seem like the "sophisticated" type. And only "sophisticated" people use words like "hyperbole". I'm taking friendly jabs at you, that's all. |

Yes, hence my caveat about the average being low recently. I still need to see Anatomy of a Fall, as well. Lots of people on the site also seem to be over the moon for Poor Things, but like most of Lanthimos' films, I was ambivalent about it. That said, I also really enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon.
