How many of the Oscar best picture nominees have you seen?

I have seen all but â??Brokeback Mountainâ?� so far and Iâ??m getting ready to watch it now So far this is what I think â??

#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 itâ??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 donâ??t think deserved to be nominated. Though I think itâ??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 Clooneyâ??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!

im gonna watch Capote thats sounds cool

You should not pass judgment on movies you havenâ??t seen. Thatâ??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 wasnâ??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 wouldnâ??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:

I have seen all of them..Each year we have an Oscar dinner..

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 itâ??s a bad, disgusting, or non entertaining movie or movie subject!!

If you can not open your mind and think about things you donâ??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!!!

Its my money so I pay to view what I prefer to watch...not majority opinion. And my opinion still stands for me...I don't want to see the 2 gay cowboys that destroy others lives because of their needs for man love. Munich=Great Movie.
