Got it at SH public library. Not nearly as good as it was hyped up to be. Confusing with its time shifts. Fair entertainment.

DVD - A character study story about how people lie/con to get ahead while others get conned by them. The average person would not need to do these things because of circumstance.
5. Green Book (2018)
PG-13 | 130 min | Biography, Comedy, Drama
A working-class Italian-American bouncer becomes the driver for an African-American classical pianist on a tour of venues through the 1960s American South.
Director: Peter Farrelly | Stars: Viggo Mortensen, Mahershala Ali, Linda Cardellini, Sebastian Maniscalco
Votes: 573,152 | Gross: $85.08M
Well told linear story. Not overly preachy but enough to let everyone know that the USA was not the bastion of freedom it has always claimed. It also made clear that all white people were not practicing racists. 8/10.
6. The Shape of Water (2017)
R | 123 min | Drama, Fantasy, Romance
At a top secret research facility in the 1960s, a lonely janitor forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature that is being held in captivity.
Director: Guillermo del Toro | Stars: Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon, Doug Jones
Votes: 447,886 | Gross: $63.86M
7.5 - 7.5 Not quite an 8 because the love story did not make me feel the emotion. Overall, it had a good story line. The cinematography was good too.
7. Moonlight (I) (2016)
R | 111 min | Drama
A young African-American man grapples with his identity and sexuality while experiencing the everyday struggles of childhood, adolescence, and burgeoning adulthood.
Director: Barry Jenkins | Stars: Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris, Trevante Rhodes, Alex R. Hibbert
Votes: 332,076 | Gross: $27.85M
4 - 7.5 - What a steaming pile this "our turn to win" movie is. Dull, boring filmed like a home movie story that never explains why the kid gets called the taboo word that starts with an f has gg in the middle and ends with a t. Did he literally do some kind of act/thing or was it just an insult? Kids throw down insults all the time. Someone has to teach a person about sex in order for them to have a preference. The Oscar's have failed miserably with this as best. Superior films in story and acting are "Concussion" with Will Smith and "Lion" with Dev Patel. I would never watch this a 2nd time.
8. Spotlight (I) (2015)
R | 129 min | Biography, Crime, Drama
The true story of how the Boston Globe uncovered the massive scandal of child molestation and cover-up within the local Catholic Archdiocese, shaking the entire Catholic Church to its core.
Director: Tom McCarthy | Stars: Mark Ruffalo, Michael Keaton, Rachel McAdams, Liev Schreiber
Votes: 502,443 | Gross: $45.06M
8 - 8.1 - I think this film won because of the subject matter of the story. The activity of the reporters in it was not that exciting but them being to blame for less focus on the issue over time was damning. It made out like they just printed stuff as news stories when a follow up investigation was necessary. However, when you have indifferent and corrupt officials who are only driven by money, how do you ever get anything fixed?
9. Birdman or (The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) (2014)
R | 119 min | Comedy, Drama
A washed-up superhero actor attempts to revive his fading career by writing, directing, and starring in a Broadway production.
Director: Alejandro G. Iñárritu | Stars: Michael Keaton, Zach Galifianakis, Edward Norton, Andrea Riseborough
Votes: 666,840 | Gross: $42.34M
8 - 7.8 - Cuts his nose off to spite his face is one of the multiple plot lines. Edward Norton's acting was excellent in it and so was Michael Keaton in several scenes.
10. 12 Years a Slave (2013)
R | 134 min | Biography, Drama, History
In the antebellum United States, Solomon Northup, a free Black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery.
Director: Steve McQueen | Stars: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Kenneth Williams, Michael Fassbender, Brad Pitt
Votes: 741,671 | Gross: $56.67M
7 - 8.1 - Just another telling of slavery and corruption in the USA, the so called bastion of freedom. Can't say if anything was better or worse than most other films on this subject. Amistad (1997) had a much better emotional impact than this one.
11. Argo (2012)
R | 120 min | Biography, Drama, History
Acting under the cover of a Hollywood producer scouting a location for a science fiction film, a CIA agent launches a dangerous operation to rescue six Americans in Tehran during the U.S. hostage crisis in Iran in 1979.

Director: Michel Hazanavicius | Stars: Jean Dujardin, Bérénice Bejo, John Goodman, James Cromwell
Votes: 248,682 | Gross: $44.67M
7 - 8 - It is an OK story of loyalty and gratitude through changing times by the successful person. The story was predictable in the sense that usually when someone is down, they refuse help. The acting and cinematography and scenery were fine as well. Being a silent film, it was pretty hard to get through same as the other 3 (2 from the real era and another newer attempt at pulling it off and failing far worse) that I have seen. It being B&W was not the issue, I watch Turner Classics all the time. Better films than this for 2011 are War Horse, Hugo, The Eagle, Moneyball, Limitless and Source Code.
13. The King's Speech (2010)
R | 118 min | Biography, Drama, History
The story of King George VI, his unexpected ascension to the throne of the British Empire in 1936, and the speech therapist who helped the unsure monarch overcome his stammer.
Director: Tom Hooper | Stars: Colin Firth, Geoffrey Rush, Helena Bonham Carter, Derek Jacobi
Votes: 708,226 | Gross: $138.80M
8 - 8.0 - This was a reasonably good story worth watching for the growth and technique. The emotional impact of war on everyone's lives helped with the importance of knowing how strong leadership is a must. Since Lionel was an actor having real life experience, as opposed to an impeccably degreed person, that added to the drama. I think it allowed the king to understand real people once the formalities were stripped away.
14. The Hurt Locker (2008)
R | 131 min | Drama, Thriller, War
During the Iraq War, a Sergeant recently assigned to an army bomb squad is put at odds with his squad mates due to his maverick way of handling his work.
Director: Kathryn Bigelow | Stars: Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, Brian Geraghty, Guy Pearce
Votes: 474,053 | Gross: $17.02M
7 - 7.6 - winner for year 2009 - Jeremy Renner was not that good as an actor here. Almost like himself and no real character for the hot dog maverick he was playing.
15. Slumdog Millionaire (2008)
R | 120 min | Crime, Drama, Romance
A teenager from the slums of Mumbai becomes a contestant on the show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati?' When interrogated under suspicion of cheating, he revisits his past, revealing how he had all the answers.
Directors: Danny Boyle, Loveleen Tandan | Stars: Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Saurabh Shukla, Anil Kapoor
Votes: 878,201 | Gross: $141.32M
8 - 8.0 - Every question he was asked in order to win was learned over his childhood in the slums. Good thing he was able to prove all of that as he was accused of cheating. Glad someone made it out of the realistic looking slums with their long time childhood sweetheart.
16. No Country for Old Men (2007)

Director: Martin Scorsese | Stars: Leonardo DiCaprio, Matt Damon, Jack Nicholson, Mark Wahlberg
Votes: 1,423,326 | Gross: $132.38M
9 - 8.5 - Too many good things to say about this film. Blood Diamond came out the same year and its story better it could have won BP as well.

Director: Ron Howard | Stars: Russell Crowe, Ed Harris, Jennifer Connelly, Christopher Plummer
Votes: 987,692 | Gross: $170.74M
8 - 8.2 - His economic game theories where not that great in my opinion. Basically they are used to help the rich (investor class) get richer. The paranoia back story was the better part of the movie.

- 8 - 8.0 - Lots of good scenery and more real than many of the Bonanza type westerns. Over all a good story with only a few things not believable. A newerfilm of this type is Into The West from 2005.

Director: Bernardo Bertolucci | Stars: John Lone, Joan Chen, Peter O'Toole, Ruocheng Ying
Votes: 111,572 | Gross: $43.98M
7 - 7.8 - Good scenery and depiction of the oddities of the culture and 20th century turmoil. I was not emotionally touched by it very much mainly because of the multitude of back and forth in time cuts kept me from actually seeing enough in long enough parts for it to sink in. It did not make me want to visit as a tourist like we can today. The idea of king/emperor worship is bad no matter what country has it.
37. Platoon (1986)

Votes: 65,531 | Gross: $108.42M
7 - 7.4 - It was not that great of a story, OK in places. But at least it wasn't about usual problems of wealthy people. The acting by all of the name stars and supporting actors was good. The middle son was the best as far as emotional impact is concerned. Scarface and Tender Mercies may have been better BP choices.

Votes: 240,258 | Gross: $52.77M
9 - 8.1 - Well told story and we see that being peaceful does not work as well as it should. That is because some group always thinks their way is better or superior regardless of what the peace maker says or teaches.
42. Chariots of Fire (1981)

Votes: 65,931 | Gross: $58.97M
7 - 7.2 - Based on the synopsis, I was waiting for the problems the difference in religions were supposed to have been. Never saw any discrimination. There were some places where someone had an evil looking stare but that could have been due to competition. Oscar BP's usually deal with controversy, 'Ragtime' from 1981 depicted that theme better.
43. Ordinary People (1980)
R | 124 min | Drama

Votes: 56,718 | Gross: $54.80M
7 - 7.8 - Ordinary People is about an upper middle class family who may expect perfection in their lives. Emotional problems such as death of a son and another son attempting suicide as he thinks it is his fault. Some things money can't buy, but are they all supposed to sit and bawl the rest of their life or try to move forward even if that means repression of sadness? Many people use getting things as a means of happiness. Maybe a lack of real parenting in the first place. Hard to say because full back story not disclosed.
44. Kramer vs. Kramer (1979)

Director: Robert Benton | Stars: Dustin Hoffman, Meryl Streep, Jane Alexander, Justin Henry
Votes: 154,815 | Gross: $106.26M
7 - 7.8 - It was a story that ended like it should have. Needing to find yourself may be an excuse for abandonment but should not just allow the mother to come back saying she was cured and wreck her husband and son's life again. Women want equal rights but really more equal towards them even when they are wrong.
45. The Deer Hunter (1978)
R | 183 min | Drama, War

Director: Woody Allen | Stars: Woody Allen, Diane Keaton, Tony Roberts, Carol Kane
Votes: 278,550 | Gross: $39.20M
5 - 8.1 - This seemed like 3 hours of George Costanza, Larry David, Gary Shandling and Richard Lewis doing their neurotic schtick. Diane Keaton being in it was the only thing that brought it up to a 5 but her singing was nothing to write home about. There are 5 better films in 1977 that had stories and characters you could actually root for, Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Close Encounters Of The 3rd Kind, The Deep, The Gauntlet.

Votes: 1,073,091 | Gross: $112.00M
8 - 8.4 - The over all story line hear was not that good. Just a non conformist (Nicholson) bucking the jail system. Lots of good acting by Danny Devito and Brad Dourif. The big chief was good too.
49. The Godfather Part II (1974)
R | 202 min | Crime, Drama
The early life and career of Vito Corleone in 1920s New York City is portrayed, while his son, Michael, expands and tightens his grip on the family crime syndicate.

Votes: 1,365,275 | Gross: $57.30M

Votes: 2,014,412 | Gross: $134.97M
9 - 9.2 - The scene where Al Pacino shoots the rivals and corrupt police chief in the face and throat was great. Horse head scene not too shabby either.

Votes: 37,175 | Gross: $28.35M
7 - 7.9 - A long and dialog driven film. Acting and character portrayal are good. Not a film I would want to see multiple times. Can't say if standing for ones principals against a king is worth dying for, when you know he will win in the end anyway. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) was much more entertaining.

7 - 8.2 --------- Anti war film that highlights how everyone who participates loses something, youth, love, dreams or physical. Dana Andrews was kind of a stick in the mud character and Fredric March as a drunk was not very likeable. Teresa Wright, Myrna Loy and Virginia Mayo were good in their parts. Sadness for the soldier who returned home with both arms blown off and now has hooks for rest of his life.

Votes: 27,921 | Gross: $4.66M
8 - 8.0 - A man who was a former fortune seeker convinces another man to enjoy life by not being obsessed with gaining more money. Its a light hearted farce about the family of the man who has learned to spend his days having fun. Of course he earned money originally and has his house paid for and money saved to pay his employees. Maybe earning some from selling fire works. So it is better than real life. I doubt if any one from Wall St. learned anything from it.

Corrupted military officers finally get caught and lose their officer commissions, also a one sided judge who aided them is shown to help with injustice. The wrongfully accused is freed after several years in prison. Sadly,the noted writer Zola, died from carbon monoxide poison the day before.

A portrayal of the triumphs and tragedies of two English families, the upper-crust Marryots and the working-class Bridgeses, from 1899 to 1933.
Director: Frank Lloyd | Stars: Diana Wynyard, Clive Brook, Una O'Connor, Herbert Mundin
Votes: 5,992 | Gross: $7.63M
6 - 6.0 - The emtional impact was probably a lot higher back when it was released. The overall message of this film was that "it is hard to have to wait for news of a father or sons well being when they are gone from home to war." Any war, any family. Except for a brother (one of the 2 sons) that went down with the Titanic, that scene seemed away from the anti war theme. Ends at a couple of years into the 10th depression in US history caused by Wall St. was not mentioned nor was the great world wide flu epidemic of 1918. So any life is hard until you die I guess. several characters looked too much alike and that kinda made it hard to follow. At least they could all get drunk since prohibition ended in 1933.

7 - 7.6 - I think this film won for all of the big name stars. The multiple stories woven together were not that good. Joan Crawford leaves for Paris with a recently sorta rich, nice but goofy and dying guy played by Lionel Barrynore. Maybe Joan made it into acting as she wanted, we are not told if guy gets cured or dies.

6 - 6.0 - The leading character, Yancy, had that Dracula make up so made it harder to watch. In the saga, Yancy seemed to do too many things. He was newspaper editor, sheriff, preacher and .... war hero maybe. There were some funny scenes and dialog in it, one showed a sign advertising fresh oysters, in Oklahoma? The 1931 Frankenstein with Boris Karloff was better.

8 - 8.1 - Very good anti war story with cinematography that allows us to see the filth and starvation along with the the results of the meat grinder battle scenes. I am surprised it won because it showed German soldiers as regular people who were subjected to patriotism in that time period same as most every other country.

DWN from ruok on 07/04/22 - watched it 07/10/22. Story line says the sisters failed to make it on Brodaway due to affairs of the heart getting in the way. Perhaps lack of talent as dancers aided in their failure. Younger sister was going to get a Park Ave. apt. plus limo with chauffeur. Then she discovered she would have to put out as payment to her sugar daddy. She passed on that deal. Hokey marriage to 2nd fiddle guy at end was typical unbelievable HEA schlock. 6/10
