@Freshcreat @ProjBigScreen @ChrisKlemmer @JeffDLowe @bobgoochman @JackKennedy Many consider this to be one of the best wins, long overdue

@ProjBigScreen @ChrisKlemmer @JeffDLowe @bobgoochman @JackKennedy All of these choices and THIS didn't break the top 10

What’s the WORST Oscar win of the century so far? We debate the 10 worst wins since the turn of the century in honor of the #AcademyAwards… Did we miss anything?

@JoeyGentile1992 Yes!

The single greatest Best Actress Oscar nomination for a comedy. Like goddamn 🔥

@Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @ihateclaims @performativeUtt @Windix3 @stonemonkts @MikeRey61920141 Gig was Oscar nominated. Lost to Burl Ives in The Big Country

There’s something unsettling about watching Gig Young play know-it-all psychologist Hugo Pine in Teacher’s Pet (out today, 1958) knowing the grisly way his life ended. Young is (eerily) funny in George Seaton’s comedy about sexist journalist Clark Cable romancing Doris Day.

@ihateclaims @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @JaneNightshade @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @stonemonkts @MikeRey61920141 That’s always been my feeling too. I usually champion Larry Kasdan on every venture, but this is so unbelievably bad on almost every level.

@Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @JaneNightshade @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @Windix3 @stonemonkts @MikeRey61920141 terrible especially given the talent involved which makes the impact worse

The worst Stephen King film? Probably not Dreamcatcher (out today, 2003). The cruel reviews given to Lawrence Kasdan’s parasitic alien invasion flick missed how deliriously over the top it was, a gloriously slow motion car crash that you can’t stop watching. Thomas Jane is fun

@bestpicturecast Perfection.

Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger were the only duo to be nominated for Lead Actress from the same film and win the award (MacLaine). What did you think of these two TERMS OF ENDEARMENT performances?

@jonny_ruela Bruce Willis. Despite so much of the popcorn stuff, he really did do a few really good performances. Pulp Fiction alone qualifies.

Stallone - watch Copland

@TheCinesthetic I’ll echo PTA here. 1980 produced this film, plus … Ordinary People, Raging Bull, Tess, The Shining, The Big Red One, Coal Miner’s Daughter, Melvin and Howard, The Stunt Man, and even Caddyshack, Airplane, and The Blues Brothers. One year.

Mel Brooks produced David Lynch’s The Elephant Man (1980). When Paramount execs asked for changes, Brooks shut it down: “We screened the film to bring you up to date… Do not misconstrue this as our soliciting the input of raging primitives.”

Absolute bombshell. John Bolton admits the administration completely forgot to secure the Strait of Hormuz before starting a war. He reveals the Secretary of Energy didn't even think it would affect oil prices. The incompetence of these warmongers is staggering.

@JimLNeibaur Twenty is not nearly enough. I need forty.

MY FAVORITE 70s MOVIES OK I'll play. Here are my 20 top films of the 1970s, a magnificent decade for cinema. I was old enough this entire decade to attend these movies at the theater first run. LIST IS ALPHABETICAL BY TITLE. (what are yours?)

@ihateclaims @Fcsnva @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @stonemonkts @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @performativeUtt @MikeRey61920141 Beatty in Shampoo? The shark boys? Lee Marvin in Emperor of the North? Donald Sutherland is amazing as creepy Homer Simpson in The Day of the Locust, but is it a leading role?

@ihateclaims @Fcsnva @Freelineorlando @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @stonemonkts @CarloDallapicc1 @roger_bakes @performativeUtt @MikeRey61920141 I have a soft spot for Whitmore because even though it’s a filmed play he is nevertheless brilliant. Schell’s movie has to be one of the worst I’ve seen. It’s just not good. Odd that in a year of voluminous sup. roles there were so few leads.

The Oscar nod Brad Dourif (#BOTD) got for One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest suggested a major career being launched, but he mainly settled in supporting roles. He’s always fun, like snotty creep Raymond in Blue Velvet or flashy as Grima in Lord Of The Rings: Two Towers. Go, Brad!

@Freelineorlando @ihateclaims @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @roger_bakes @CarloDallapicc1 @stonemonkts @performativeUtt @MikeRey61920141 I honestly think Roman has been laughing to himself from the moment the plane landed in France. He’s travelled worldwide; made all the movies he’s wanted to; gotten tons of awards, incl. the American Oscar; and built a family. He just can’t be in the USA.

@ihateclaims @OldCarLongRoad @hermannkarlovic @Rob_Motto @roger_bakes @CarloDallapicc1 @Windix3 @stonemonkts @performativeUtt @MikeRey61920141 😝 I agree 💯! I figured since Bitter Moon is set on a cruise ship, this cover was an appropriate match (although it’s about his 1986 movie Pirates, not Bitter Moon). It’s … well, questionable 🤨 😂

How does burning love go from red-hot passion to, say, murder-suicide? Has Roman Polanski got your ticket in Bitter Moon (out today, 1992)! Polanski’s version of The Love Boat is a love story for nihilists; its operatic tragic ending is a Valentine’s Day card tipped with poison.

@ATRightMovies Primary Colors. He honestly acts in it, and he’s brilliant

What's John Travolta's best performance?

@Gwionbach @kmstx78 I don’t agree. Lincoln, Django, and Argo are all solid. Amour is easily one of the best of the decade.

@kmstx78 Boy, 2012 Stunk..

I was pissed when THE MASTER wasn’t even nominated for Best Picture that year, but I now realize how sickening the online discourse might have been. Still, the film and PTA (not nominated for Director) were robbed. The actual nominees:

@kmstx78 Les Miserables and Life of Pi here are embarrassments.

@iJIHelfrich @kmstx78 No, not Amour. Watch it and you’ll understand why.

@kmstx78 I was disappointed when Affleck and Bigalow weren’t nominated. I would’ve picked them over the directors of Amour and Beasts of the Southern Wild.

@TheMonologist You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. This is as monumental a masterpiece of filmmaking as you’ll ever see.

Almost completely forgotten & I get why. Off the back of ‘Bonnie And Clyde’, ‘Shampoo’ & ‘Heaven Can Wait’ WARREN BEATTY was allowed to co-write, produce, direct & star in this fundamentally boring 3hr plus yawn fest. Incredibly it was nom’d for 12 Oscars & won 3. REDS (1981)

@CyrusVinci87033 @TheMonologist Bravo. Hear, here.

@TheMonologist It was only boring if you weren't fascinated by history and the 20th century political upheavels. It's for adults. Lots were back then. Screen and gamer generations can't focus.

@CinemaTweets1 May I point out that when you watch even just this clip you’re seeing the OUTSTANDING camerawork of Jack N. Green. The victor that year was Philipe Rousselot for A River Runs Through It, but Green’s and Tony Pierce-Roberts’ Howards End are equally great.

If Twitter existed the day after Unforgiven won the #Oscar for Best Picture & Gene Hackman won Best Supporting Actor, I like to think that my timeline (for once) would be in total agreement. Who would dare suggest this film didn’t deserve BP? Or Hackman for Best Supporting? Stop.

@CinemaTweets1 Everyone seems to forget that the film considered to be its closest competitor was Howards End, a masterpiece of a different stripe, and possibly The Crying Game, which had flashed up late in the moment. But nothing topped Clint’s work of genius.
