I watched it on a flight to London in December. It was ok. Better than average I'd say. But not "awesome".

It was a decent movie. Compared to most movies put out now a days, it was good.

Didn't LOTR 1 and 3 win best picture? I mean...they were good and all, but jeez :p - I guess we're too greedy wanting more great movies and less average movies. Little Miss Sunshine was a good movie, and I enjoyed it alright.

I hope The Departed wins.

sh-sh-shakespeare in love won for best picture. After that I stopped paying attention to the awards

I thought it was a very nice surprise. Didn't expect the movie to be that good. However, I agree with you about it being nominated for best picture.

Not this crap again, you said yourself that Brokeback Mountain wasn't that good (I think I liked that movie more than you did).

it had its problems, but it was definitely a better pic than crash

no way. brokeback mountain was way too long and the story was pretty simplistic in my opinion. Good cinematography but that's it. If it was about a M-F love story it wouldn't get nearly as much hype as it did. IF anything the gay angle propelled it way ahead of what it deserved. Crash's narrative style, pacing, story was much more interesting.

I agree with you on that, but I really didn't think Crash deserved to win.

Hell no it wasn't, Crash was a great movie and deserved to win.

I don't know why everyone loves Little Miss Sunshine so much. It was a good movie, but people are just nuts about it apparently. Nominated for best picture, I think 2 or 3 best actor Nominees. I assume more people will agree that it's overrated... I haven't met anyone who really loved the movie, and I haven't met anyone who hated it. It's an averagely good movie.

Crash is overrated. DEPARTED is beyond overrated. For those who know Infernal Affairs, it's not a movie that stands out that well.

Little Miss Sunshine was good (I laughed my ass off during the dancing part), but I think you need to watch some more movies if it's in your top 5.

It was okay, B+. I liked Tenacious D: The Pick Of Destiny Better :)

Oh, and not a film from this year but god The 40 year old Virgin was the funniest movie I have ever seen.

Crash was a better movie than Brokeback.

I enjoyed it. I'm going to love to come home from work tonight to find that it won Best Picture.
