English Patient over Shine? And Fargo? And Breaking the Waves? And Sling Blade? And Trainspotting? And Ghosts of Mississippi?

I mean, it was a good movie, but not particularly new or inventive...and the script was all over the place thematically.

Oh hell yes. I personally hated Sling Blade and as much as I enjoyed Shine and Fargo, I think English Patient is a better film. And don't get me started on Trainspotting, we'll be here all day.

I had to go to a listing of Best Pictures, as I have no clue what won, and for me, I go all the way back to 1976 - ROCKY. Some of my least favorite films are on that list, particularly after 1976! Such dreary films.
And enjoy the beauty - all the joy and beauty - that a Merry Christmas can bring to you!

And were you even BORN in 1976, Brendan?

I'm not the one claiming Rocky is the last film to win the Oscar that deserved it, don't change the subject. And who says I'm even potty trained now?

I just don't buy the psychological retelling of English Patient -- it missed the main thrust of the novel, which bothered me greatly. It also had so many historical problems, it was hard to watch. It got saved by its BRILLIANT cinematography.

No, but I've seen films made in 1976. Films are as current as the moment they are playing. What's being born have to do with anything?! ROCKY is a great film. Seriously, can any of you THE ENGLISH PATIENT weirdos, actually watch that film again? If I had a gun I would have blown my brains out, that's how bored I was watching that thing, once. Horrible!
And enjoy the beauty - all the joy and beauty - that a Merry Christmas can bring to you!
