I have seen all but ??Brokeback Mountain? so far and I??m getting ready to watch it now So far this is what I think ??
#1 Munich
This movie is just so damn good. Very rough and disturbing and makes you just sick of both the Jews and Muslims and all their bullshit fighting. This movie is so will written, directed, acted and filmed it is defiantly my pick for best picture so far. The best Spielberg movie since Schindler's List in my opinion!
#2 Capote
A very moving story with some of the best acting I have seen in a while. Philip Seymour Hoffman is good in everything he does but this roll was absolutely brilliant! He should get best actor for this role but I have not seen Walk The Line yet and I know Joaquin Phoenix is supposed to be amazing in it. Hoffman has to be very close in that running though!
#3 Crash
This is by far the most main stream movie nominated this year and I thought it was very good. It deserves to be nominated but I do not think it deserves to win. It was just too contrived for my taste. Plus it??s a little too main stream and just not that original. It reminds me of a watered down Pulp Fiction that is trying to make a point about racism that most people already know. But still it is a very good movie!
#4 Good Night and Good Luck
This is the only movie I don??t think deserved to be nominated. Though I think it??s a very good movie I do not think its better than Syriana and was really disappointed that it was nominated and Syriana was not. I just thought the directing fell short, it was Clooney??s first major direction gig and I just do not think it is Oscar material. The lengthy news footage in the middle seems kind of cheap. But I did love the subject of the film, just do see it as deserving a nomination. Syriana should be in its place and if it had been nominated I would have put it in the #3 spot ahead of Crash!!!
I will be posting what I think of Brokeback after I see it and put it in the # order. Please add your own comments about all these movies.

i have only seen crash and i loved it, i hope it wins. thinking it sounld not win because it more mainsteam is just retarted, the best movie should win! i think the only reason that broke back mountain is getting nominated is because it has to do with gays, and there trying to make being gay more socially acceptable as they have ben for many years now and this move is being used to help just like mtv has more gays than strights now!

You should not pass judgment on movies you haven??t seen. That??s why I'm not saying anything good or bad about Brokeback until I have seen it.
And Crash was a good movie but it is not the best picture. Both Capote and Munich are much better movies. Its not JUST that Crash is mainstream it was just too silly for me. Two cops pull over that couple, the next day one saves the woman from a burning car and the other one save the other from getting shot by police, then the guy even drives by the car the other cop set on fire at the end. That is ridicules and totally contrived and non plausible. It was really a cheesy story only saved by excellent acting. If it wasn??t for the acting this movie would not deserve to even be nominated.
Its funny that you want it to win best picture but you have not even seen ANY of the other movies. I would say you are not in a very good position to past judgment at all about what should win best picture if you have not seen any of the other movies.

I think brokeback is a disgusting movie. Never watched it but I don't think 2 gay cowboys would be a good movie...heck I can go downtown and see all the gay love and pride I care to see...not going to pay my money to further that kind of crap. Promoting man love.,,yeah a good one.:rolleyes:

As you will notice I am not saying anything good or bad about Brokeback until after I have seen it. I have no idea if I will like it or not. But being against it just because its about 2 gay guys just shows the kind of person you are. If this movie was about a man and a woman you would have no problem with it.
Its really to bad that we still have people in our world that are this close minded. I'm not saying everyone should go see this movie. Probably a lot of people wouldn??t like it. But to be against it and condemn it just because its about to gay men with not even seeing it is rhetoric straight out of the 1950s!!

Oh well...its better rhetoric than having this kind of crap out at the movies. And no I don't condone man love. It's a shame others beliefs are not respected and your called the usual stereotype names because your beliefs are not those of the majority. Your right..give me a good cowboy movie based on a love story between a man and woman and I would pay to view it. Thats the great thing about America...we can ALL have different morals and values....and viewpoints.:thumbsup:

We all go see movies and watch TV shows about gangsters, murderers, etc. etc all the time. That does not mean we want to be gangsters, or murderers ourselves, or for anyone around us to be. But it also does not mean it??s a bad, disgusting, or non entertaining movie or movie subject!!
If you can not open your mind and think about things you don??t agree with well then I guess you will be left with very little to watch.
And I have a lot more of a problem with someone being a murderer than being gay!!!

So I just saw Brokback Mountain. I have to say this is an incredible film! Man, it is so sad, such good acting. Wow!
All the hype and controversy are just really stupid. There is only one small gay sex scene in this that doesn??t even show any nudity. Other then that it is just an incredibly good love story. I??m not gay, not even close. I am very comfortable with my sexuality and maybe that??s why I was not bothered buy the fact it??s about two men. Honestly you forget about all that after about mid way through. It??s just a very sad, touching love story and anyone that can not get past the homosexual aspect of the movie and see it for what it is I think has some personal issues.
I really was not expecting to like this movie this much. I thought all the hype over it would make it less of an impact but now I see the hype is very justified. The acting, writing and directing are just as good as it gets. This movie does deserve best picture. It??s absolutely fantastic!!
Ang Lee defiantly deserves to win best director! If you like great movies you really need to see this movie!!
Brokeback defiantly moves into #1 on my list. It??s a masterpiece!

Yeah and honestly Munich, Brokeback, and Capote were all 3 so damn good it is really hard to have to pick a favorite! This has been a great year for movies, everyone should get out there and see these! Also be sure to see Syriana!

hey dumb ass i did not pass judgement on the movie i didnt see! i just stated why i thought broke back mountain was nominated, and like Shelbay we can all think what we want, so stop ranting and reving, like your morals are the only ones that count. also i can hope for any movie that i want to win EVEN if i didnt see the other ones duh you stupid narrow mind fuck! just because you dont want to see gay men make love does not make you close minded, its just not something you want to see! im sure there are many things in this world your dont like or want to see, i guess you close minded to! shit why am i writing to you i hate asholes like you, get off your pedestal! ive heard that the movie wasnt very good but hey maybee ill go see it!

Uh I don??t know what you are going on about?! Did you miss the part where I said Crash is a very good movie and deserves to be nominated for best picture?!?!?
I am simply pointing out that Crash is not the best of the five and can almost guarantee that if you went to see all 5 you would also agree with this.
I again say that since you have only seen crash and none of the others you really don??t know what the hell you are talking about.
If you do go see all 5 and still think Crash is the best well then we can talk.

Destroy others lives? I don think it would be possible to count the number of movies that have been made about married people that cheat on there spouses because they are in love with someone else!! In fact what I consider to be the greatest movie of all time is about this, ??Casablanca?! No one try??s to hang their political and or religious or personal belief hat on that movie!! Go watch it again; Ingrid Bergman cheats on her husband by having sex with Humphy Bogart, more than once!!! Again this is one out of thousands of movies like this!!
So do the same plot and make them gay and all of a sudden people like you are trying to use that as some kind of reason to not like it!! Well to use a cowboy term, that dog wont hunt!! You are just scared by homosexuality, plan and simple!
But honestly that is part of what would make you like it so much. You go in thinking all these things about it, about how it??s going to be all about gay guys, etc. And then you find out it is just a REALLY, REALLY great movie and the fact that they are gay men really does not have that much to do with the movie. If it were a man and woman in the movie it would be just a great. And the fact that they are gay does not make it any less or more great.
Again I think Ang Lee deserves almost all the credit!! He is just the man!!!

I am very aware of the horrendous movies available these days but the movie in question was bareback mountain yes? And yes...there are people like me...we don't condone homosexuality..deal with it. You seem to have very strong opinions on this so maybe you have issues you need to face?:thumbsup: Get it through your head...you can't force everyone to be like you or see it your way. Bareback mountain is a disgusting film imo...

I'm sorry that you are a 40 something year old woman that has not come to terms with her own sexuality but you really should not take it out on others. Again from the sound of it you need to go see brokeback more than anyone here. You are just a bitter old crow that is trying to hate a group of people based on nothing but ignorance.
As for the other thread about HTS where you stuck your nose into other peoples business and got it burned off, that??s not my fault and I'm certainly not mad about it. Why should I be mad about something that you made a fool of yourself in?? But of course I have remembered it and that just helps paint the ugly picture that is you!
Hey guys did you here she orders mom every week!?? I??m not kidding, Shelby has ordered so much pot via mail order she is an expert about it!!
